It's that time of the week again, time for silly celebrity gossip. I promise from now on to make sure it is G rated.
And nothing can be more G rated than babies. Also nothing can be more sillier than celebrity baby names. In the last few weeks some celebrities have had babies and the list of ridiculous baby names have just only grown (yes, even sillier than Powder Puff). Some of the recent names have been:
- Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz: These pop stars have just had their first child and the moniker they have chosen for their little boy is Bronx Mowgli Wentz. Inspired by the tough borough of New York City and "The Jungle Book", I predict lots of school yard fights for this little boy.
- List Bonet and Jason Momoa: This childhood star and her actor boyfriend have just had their second child together, a boy. While their daughter was given the provocative name of "Lola" their little boy was given a slightly longer name: Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa (I had to cut paste that one). Nakoa means “warrior,” while Mana refers to “strength/spirit,” and Kaua — “rain” — and po — “dark” — refer to the conditions at the time of his birth. The second middle name, Namakaeha, is also Jason’s. I am afraid if I repeat that name out loud three times, I will evoke rain clouds.
- Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell: these actors just gave birth to twin daughters and they decided to name them Dolly Rebecca Rose O’Connell and Charlie Tamara Tulip O’Connell. Dolly was named after "Dolly Parton" not the lacy cloth your grandmother use to put on her couch armrest. Charlie was named after her Uncle Charlie, but don't worry about her as she has the ever so feminine "Tulip" to fall back on.
- Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck: this celebrity couple just had their second daughter and we haven't heard what the name is yet but seeing as they named their first daughter "Violet" (aww, I love that name) I am guessing they will keep it normal and maybe name her after another flower. Maybe Daisy? Lily? Poison Ivy? Fern? Cactus Puss? We will soon find out. UPDATE: A little surprise here, the baby girl was named Seraphim Rose Elizabeth Affleck. I knew there would be a flower in there somewhere, but the first name is actually a little bit original. I didn't know Jen and Ben had it in them.
What do you think is the most ridiculous celebrity baby name of all time? My top ten of all time are:
1. Fifi Trixibell: Bob Geldof and Paula Yates (also parents to Peaches and Pixie)
2. Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily: Paula Yates and Michael Hutchence (Paula Yates again!)
3. Moxie CrimeFighter: Penn Jillette (also father to Zolten)
4. Rocket: Robert Rodriguez (also father to Racer, Rebel and Rogue)
5. Moon Unit: Frank Zappa, also father to Dweezil and Diva Muffin
6. Pilot Inspektor: Jason Lee and Beth Riesgraf
7. Jermajesty: Jermaine Jackson and Alejandra Genevieve Oaziaza (previously married to Jermaine's brother Randy)
8. Heaven: Lil' Mo (also mother to God'Iss Love Stone)
9. Apple: Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow
10.Ocean: Forest Whitaker (also father to Sonnet and True)
This makes me wish my mother didn't have my goodies snipped off as I would have had so much fun naming my litter of pups. I would have kept up the "Puff" tradition as my name is Powder Puff, my cousin is Coco Puff so I could have named them; Puff the Magic Dragon, Cream Puff, Power Puff, Curry Puff, Puff Daddy, Puff of Smoke, Poppy Puff, I can go on.
So next time you think of lecturing my mother on mine and Q-Ball's name, just think of this list and shut your mouth! Chow for now!
