So, unless agents and publicists are stirring things up to get lots of
press coverage, there's supposedly a controversy raging between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt over what names to give their twins who are due approx. August 19th. Of concern to me, as an author and professional astrologer, is that Angelina, as a Gemini, would be so selfish or thoughtless as to use "Castor and Pollux" to describe twins due to arrive in August, when the Sun will be in either Leo or Virgo. Maybe it would be a nice touch to use these as middle names, with a normal name as a first name. But "Castor" and "Pollux" are obscure mythological names, not names designed to make a kid popular or successful. It Might Not even be BOYS ?!! What's Up with That?? But there's something even worse! When I first saw this story I thought sure the story would be about a pair of BOYS, since Castor and Pollux are both male names, and that they were "due" within the next month or so, while Sun transits the Sign of Gemini. No! Was I surprised! AUGUST 19th??? That is right on the cusp -- at the end of the Sign of Leo and the beginning of Virgo. The only possible match-up I can think of at the moment is that Virgo has some traditional connection to gardening and plants of various kinds, and Castor (the castor bean) is a kind of plant. That still leave "Pollux" out. Brad's the father? So the child would be "Pollux Pitt?" and the other one, "Castor Pitt?" Ugh! No matter WHAT you call 'em, it's their last name that's problematical -- "Pitt!" Call 'em anything you want, they'll be a "Pitt". Marilyn Pitt, Bobby Pitt, Susie Pitt, Sam Pitt, Danny Pitt, Maxwell Pitt, Adrian Pitt, Erica Pitt, --take your choice! Maybe their last name will be hyphenated, "Jolie-Pitt", but is "Pollux Jolie-Pitt" much better? Give 'em More Appropriate Names for their Sign, Angelina! Lookit! If this is BOYS who end up being born under the Sign of LEO, then I'd say name 'em something vaguely cat-like or with lion-like characteristics, heck, name 'em "Leo" and "Felix" for gosh sakes, if you want to go "astrological" with names. The film actor from about 50 years ago: Rip Torn, comes to mind. Call one "Tiger" or "Ty". Or take a good quality of felines and turn that into a name. Just don't call one "Catsup" or "Bobcat". Actually, that's not half bad. "Bobcat Pitt". What about if they're born in the last 10 days of August, under Virgo? Virgo has traditional associations with health and chastity, --well there's ONE name, for a girl, anyway, "Chastity", or "Chase" as a shortened, simplified form.. Although Cher's naming her daughter "Chastity" doesn't seem, in retrospect, to have been a wise choice of names.. Having to do with gardens, herbs, and gardening are noted Virgo sun-sign attributes. So the French name for a garden, "Jardin" might be nice. Love of small animals is another very general Virgo trait, but that doesn't mean go and name 'em "Squirrel" or "Bunny". Well, nothing wrong with "Bunny", is there? Although "Bunny Pitt" rhymes with the movie, "Money Pit". "Nick-Naming" / "Feminizing" the Male Names, Castor & Pollux, MIGHT Be The Best. By the way, I haven't read the news stories yet (this story hit me like a ton of bricks and I immediately wanted to post my thoughts about the names!) but has ultrasound revealed for sure that it will be boys -- or girls? Or one of each? Unless the parents know "FOR SURE" that this is going to be a pair of boys, then the names mentioned are out of the question. It would be as inappropriate to call a girl Castor or Pollux as it would to call a boy Helen (of Troy) or Angelina. It is incredible to think a mother would want to call a pair of GIRLS, these ancient Greek BOYS' names. Ugh! Here's an idea! They could "feminize" the male names Castor and Pollux. These names easily resolve into Cassie and Polly. That way everyone can be happy.

The universe is likely to have over 100 Billion galaxies in it, each containing hundreds of Billions of stars, the majority of which are likely have planets orbiting them. How's that for a ton of bricks? Yet this celebrity nonsense is what you pass your time on Earth with? Even in such a vast Universe I don't believe humans are insignificant because we can measure and conceive of it. But what happens when we don't bother? Dude, my advice is to try making yourself a little less insignificant. -- Greg Crinklaw Astronomical Software Developer Cloudcroft, New Mexico, USA (33N, 106W, 2700m) SkyTools: http://www.skyhound.com/cs.html Observing: http://www.skyhound.com/sh/skyhound.html Comets: http://comets.skyhound.com To reply take out your eye |
