Isn’t it arbitrary how some months are acceptable names but some are not? May, June, even January, all ok, but somebody’s gonna make fun of September? Why?

On The Chew, there was "chef from the audience" lady or something who was excited to share her recipe, and talk about her pregnancy. It went something like this:

Pregnant Lady: It's a girl! I'm due June somethingsomething. Her name is Elle.
Mario Batali: Elle?
Pregnant Lady: Uh-huh.
Mario Batali: Like the magazine? French?
Pregnant Lady: Oh, I guess. Really?
Mario Batali: Yes, Elle. You're naming your child a French pronoun.
Pregnant Lady: Oh...

It had me laughing out loud, slapping my hands walrus-style that a woman is naming her child a French pronoun that simply means "She" - and she didn't even know it. But she was so excited and had the name picked out and everything. In the age of the internet, there is no excuse.


The name "Elle" is already in use as a woman's name. Other women's names also have similar meanings in other languages (the name Colleen, for instance, means "girl" in Gaelic).

Is she from Cleveland? I knew one there.


I've never been able to figure out the rapper/actress Aquafina. It's a water brand too, right?


Aquafina is her stage name, not her given name.


Right but why? Is she being funny by naming it after a water bottle brand? Or is that a coincidence? I don't get it.


Sorry, Awkwafina

Aquafina is her stage name, not her given name.


Additionally, she spells it Awkwafina. Her given name is Nora.

This has been on my short list of girl names for years now! Calliope is the muse of epic poetry.


I think it's pronounced Cally-Oh-pee in greece. There was a character on ER or Grey's anatomy with that name and she went by Calli.
