Baby Names

So,

A friend of mine just posted the nature of celebrity baby naming recently with this little tweet. " Pete Wentz named his firstborn Bronx Mowgli Wentz. I'm calling it now: the next one will be named Soho Aladdin." (Chromefox Twitter 2008) The problem is I think this weird baby naming thing has become an epidemic. Here are some examples of other recent celebrities baby names:

1. Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale: Zuma Nesta Rock Stefani-Rossdale
(In my opinion a combination of their love for free online games, Nestea and a music genre)

2. ABC Soap Star Ingo Rademacher's fiancee, Ehiku, gave birth to their first child, Peanut Kai
(Now apparently Kai means "water" in Hawaiian, so this means their child's name is Peanut Water; that sounds wrong on so many levels)

3. Jenna and Bodhi Elfman: Story Elias

4. For British pop singer Jordan and husband Peter Andre: Princess Tiaami
(The "princess" is not a prefix, that's her first name!)

5. Don't even get me started on all the names of Brad and Angelina's kids........

6. We all remember that Gwenyth Paltrow named her kid Apple

7. Geri Haliwell named hers: Bluebell Madonna

8. "40 Days and 40 Nights" star Shannyn Sossamon named hers: Audio Science

9. Last and definitely my fave: Jermaine Jackson, of Jackson 5 fame named his son: Jermajesty

There are lots of really cool sounding original names out there today that won't cause teasing on the playground, the endless hound of the paps, a continual wedgie in middle school and then social ridicule for the rest of their teen life. I really hope some of these people just outright change their names for their own sake. Really what's wrong with calling your kid Sara or Kaitlyn or Andrew or Kevin?
