So back in June, Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter welcomed their first child into the world and last week we discovered he was named 'Christopher Carlton Cumberbatch'. Straight away is there anything wrong with that? He has a first name, a middle name and a last name. Funny enough though, they all begin with 'C'. That's pretty cool right? Apparently according to 'Heart Scotland' these two lovely parents have 'Lost the plot when it comes to naming their child' Why is that you may ask? I'll tell you.
Because it's apparently a 'Tongue-twisting name'. You really just can't make this shit up.
Stuff like this annoys me to no end. They named their son Christopher which is a beautiful name which of course can be shortened to Chris. The important thing is, is that it's an ordinary name. We're used to seeing Christopher's around. So why is it such a news worthy thing that their sons full name has three C's?
One of the most popular and familiar reality TV show families; The Kardashians have done this. Kris, Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian. So what is actually the big deal?
Is it the fact that Carlton is his middle name? Benedict's fathers last name is Carlton and it's very common to have surnames as middle names. My dad's middle name is Gourley, which is the last name of relations on either his mother or father's side.
My final comment is that so what it's a tongue twister of a name? Anyone's name said three times fast will be a tongue twister. As if people are going to meet him and go 'Alright Christopher Carlton Cumberbatch?' Come on people! They are perfectly sane first time parents who named their son an ordinary name. I wish the couple all the best and I bet you he's absolutely beautiful.
Yours Faithfully,
