Re: Sparrow James Midnight

  • The 'James Midnight' part of the name is ok, as far as wierd celebrity baby names are concerned.

    Sparrow? Really don't like it.

    When they named there first born, Harlow Winter Kate, I thought wow, what a beautiful name! I am always really curious how celebrities come up with their ideas for names. I know to each is own, but I have to say, I am just not feeling the Sparrow.

  • Haha, reminds me of Capt. Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Carribean. Not really into it. I really like her daughter's name tho! How funny...and different!
  • My first thought was Captain Jack, too!

    Yeah, I thought that also, with thinking that Harlow Winter Kate was a beautiful name. Lol @ 'just not feeling the Sparrow'!

    Gotta agree with the other ladies! I thought Harlow was a great name, and although Winter isn't my style, it worked. 

    Sparrow, though? First, TOTALLY not my style. Second...when it's used as a name, isn't it a girl's name? I mean it's not one of those unisex names...it's a girl's name, right? 

  • Yeah I'm not really liking Sparrow... I suppose they chose it to sound like Harlow.  Has anyone ever told them that siblings don't have to have similar names?  It reminds me of Pirates of the Caribbean too much.  And I also think that on its own, Sparrow sounds a little girly.

    I think having Midnight as one of the middle names is sorta cool though.  

  • Ha - well, I wouldn't be surprised if they named him Sparrow precisely because they love Pirates of the Caribbean and that character.  (which is weird)  I mean, Nicolas Cage named his son Kal-El because he loves superman, and didn't AShlee Simpson & Pete Wentz call their kid Mowgli because they both loved the Jungle Book??

    This, exactly.

  • Sparrow?  I am just not so sure...maybe a more manly bird? Eagle? Hawk? Raptor?  but sparrow?  wee baby sparrow?

  • Ugh...made me think of "Pirates of the Carribean."  And Harlow and Sparrow?  What is their deal with -ow names?  Oh well...he'll be raised with all those other Hollyweird-named children, so in the end, it won't be so bad.  Now the question is...two babies in two years?  Are they gonna tie the knot or what?

    I think you're right -- Sparrow James Midnight is likely named after Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow.

    Gotta agree with pp.  Not feeling it.  (FWIW, I do kinda like Harlow).
