CELEBRITY BABY NAME REVEAL: Ozzy

Jack Osbourne, son of the late heavy metal legendary 🀘rocker Ozzy Osbourne (born John Michael Osbourne) aka the "Prince of Darkness" — has just had his own "Princess of Darkness"  — with the birth of daughter named after her grandfather: πŸ“›Ozzy πŸ’—  

Her full name is πŸ“›Ozzy Matilda Osbourne. πŸ“›NameberryπŸ’ says, "Ozzy is derived from the Old English element os meaning "God" or "divine", or from the Irish oss meaning "deer". This grandpa-esque nickname traditionally short for masculine names like Osmond, Oscar, or Oswald is starting to get traction on its' own, thanks to its cool, zippy sound." 

Behind the Name says Ozzy is a variant of πŸ“›Ozzie (which is a diminutive of πŸ“›Osborn). BTN points out, "a famous bearer was the British musician Ozzy Osbourne (1948-2025), though in his case it was a nickname based on his surname." Biography.com writes, "he acquired the nickname Ozzy in elementary school, where he struggled with dyslexia."

I'm not an Ozzy Osbourne fan but I am a fan of his granddaughter being named πŸ“›Ozzy after him πŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΎ  it's a very sweet tribute πŸ₯° plus a pretty cool 😎 name to carry as a girl. 


Some Ozzy the musician fan comments on πŸ“›Ozzy the πŸ‘Άbaby girlπŸ’—:

 

 "The most perfect name she could have ever received!!"

 "I love her name I'm sure Ozzy is smiling."

"The sweetest name. Her Papa's gotta be so tickled watching over."

"Yay, we have another Ozzy Osbourne! The world is right again."

NAME OF THE DAY: Tilly

Like AI artist Xania Monet, Tilly Norwood is going viral for being an AI actress. So today I will talk about the titillating name πŸ“›Tilly.

Tilly is a diminutive of the name πŸ“›Matilda: "from the Germanic name Mahthilt meaning "strength in battle", from the elements maht "might, strength" and hilt "battle"." Variants of Tilly include: πŸ“›Tillie and πŸ“›Tilda.

Nameberry says, "As a stand alone name, Tilly is cutesy but not flimsy, a favorite in England and Wales where nicknames as given names are very much the norm. Tilly has the potential to catch on in the US, given its similarity to the popular Lily and Ellie and the rising stars Millie, Billie, Kallie, and Nellie." Tilly was #165 on England's most Popular Baby Names list for girls in 2024. Meanwhile in the US, Tilly was #953 on the most Popular Baby Names list for girls in 2024. Nameberry notes Tilly has been "racing up the US charts." Tilly is also a surname πŸ“› a la actress sisters Jennifer and Meg Tilly.

The most Tillys live in πŸ“California fittingly followed by πŸ“Rhode Island surprisingly.

I am undecided about the name πŸ“›Tilly... πŸ€” I don't hate the name but I don't like it as in I'm not crazy about it. πŸ˜– It does have a flirty 😘 vibe to it that I do like... I am a bit taken aback 😦 Tilly is in the top 1000 most popular baby names for girls in the United States actually. I really did not know Tilly was such a popular name. 🀷🏾‍♀️ πŸ“›Matilda, the name Tilly originates from, is #410 on the most Popular Baby Names list in 2024. And that makes sense. It is pretty cool the original name and nickname made it to ⬆top of the πŸ“›name charts πŸ“ˆ together.

To me, πŸ“›Tilly sounds just like an old-fashioned name an old-school πŸŽ₯ movie star ⭐would have, therefore I think it's an unconvincing name choice for the new AI actress in Hollywood  Tilly Norwood — to have. πŸ˜’
