Another Awful Celebrity Name.

  I think it's kind of cute...  as a nickname.   Picture her in her 30's putting that one on a resume.    I remember that Cricket was a nickname for a Christine, a character on the Young and the Restless.

  I am also familiar with Cricket as a nickname for Christine.  My DS and DD's art teacher is "Miss Cricket" but her real name is Christine.

  I do prefer both of her DDs' names as nn's, but I wouldn't describe their names as just another celebrity name like North, Apple, Blue, or Maxwell.

  Considering names in the family, it doesn't shock me. I like Cricket better than Birdie.

  The mom's name is Busy...she could have picked something much worse than Cricket

  I obsessively love the name Birdie so I was watching to see what she named this one.  I really like how she goes by her NN and gave cute NNs to both of her daughters.  It's her thing and I totally get it.  I don't like Cricket as much as Birdie and I typically love very classic names; however, I love both her girls' names.

  This was exactly what I thought too.

  Honestly, I am not surprised. I was expecting something similar to Birdie.

  
  

  Marc, Busy, Birdie, and Cricket. 

  
  

  Could be worse. Better than Apple and Moxi Crimefighter and Bronx Mogli and freaking North West, IMO.

  Exactly.

  And, Dr. Loretta is right.  Someone asked opinions on the given name Cricket last week.

  At least Busy is just a nickname.  Her given name is Elizabeth Jean Philipps.  She could've given her daughters the same courtesy.

  Meh, I don't mind it. It's kind of cute. 

  But mostly, I dont hold any celebrity to "normal" baby name standards. When you're growing up with the Apples, Sparrows, Honors, Jets, Moxie Crimefighters, who cares if you're named Cricket?

  I know of a woman named Cricket...not a nn, her given name. It always confused me when I was a kid.

  I can't get behind Cricket. Birdie is a graceful flying animal, Apple is a tasty fruit, but Cricket is a fricking BUG. A nasty, noisy, annoying bug. Dumb.

  
  
  I just want to give you a world as beautiful as you are to me.

  We really think Busy Philipp's daughter will have a resume?

  Agreed! And at least a bird/birdie can be a "cute" thing. I hate crickets!

  Is it really!?? Elizabeth Jean is my name, too funny!!

  And agreed, call your little girls cute nicknames all you want, but give them a real name to use once they hit 8 years old!
