So Busy Phillips had her baby

[joenali]

I knew a Cricket a long time ago . I like it!

I guess I'll be the one to say Cricket makes me really squeamish. Birdie isn't terrible though.

I've never yelled out someone's name in the throes of passion.

Probably didn't have a partner with a good name.

I like Busy Phillips, but she is not famous enough to name her kid something like Cricket.

[nursewife]

I really love that name. I've always been fond of makes like that for some reason.

2 pages of responses and no one has read Lola and the Boy Next Door? ;-(

I like it, but because of that book I think of it as a boy's name.

I like Cricket.

My dad sold my Cricket doll at a garage sale for $12.50 and those MFers are totally worth more on eBay now. Painful memories!

I was actually coming in to say though that I have a friend named Birdie, and she is pretty high up in a major company. She is also like their gay spokesperson (for real) and is in a bunch of promotional materials about their same-sex partner benefits. Successful Birdie!

My dog's NN is Cricket.
But I think it's cute for a girl, like Piper or something.

I have never heard this name before for a girl. My only frame of reference is It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and that guy doesn't really sell the name.

Very country club.

My nickname is Cricket, it started when I was about 2. I like having it as a nickname, I think it's cute.

I kinda like both names, in a cutesy kitschy way, but don't birdies EAT crickets?

I was just going to say that, birds eat crickets if I'm not mistaken
Maybe that's part of the "charm"

Anyway I knew a Cricket growing up. Her last name was meadow so it fit I guess. I forget her brothers name but it was equally...um...different

I'm not entirely against it

My friends almost named their daughter this. Then our friend named her dog Cricket.
