Hollywood baby names

Gwenyth named her new baby "Apple". No disrespect, but it reminded me of how Michael Jackson named his baby "Blanket". I guess in moviestar world, it perfectly fine to have a funky name. But anywhere else, those poor kids would be teased beyond tears!

These people have never heard of the concept of the nick name? Like where you name your kid "Catherine" and then just call them apple?

Yes, what a totally ridiculous name! How can a person cope in the normal world with a name like that. Calling the kid "fruitcake" is just round the corner.
Don't these people think what it's like to be a grow-up with a name like that?

When I first heard about Gwyneth I thought it was a joke or something. People are trying to be too unique with their baby names and forgetting that their child might one day get their face smashed in on the playground for having the name Crayola or Ritz.

"Blanket" is only the nickname of Michael Jackson's latest child who will surely become a mass murderer someday. His children are named Prince Michael, Paris Michael, and Prince Michael II.

With celebs it's all about vanity and trying to outdo each other. I once saved a list of other stars gone wild with baby names:

George Foreman named his offspring George Edward Jr., George Edward III, George Edward IV, George Edward V, George Edward VI, Freeda George and Georgetta.

Everyone knows Demi Moore and Bruce Willis have Rumer Glenn, Scout LaRue, and Tallulah Belle.

Bob Geldof's daughters are Fifi-Trixibelle, Peaches, Honeyblossom, and Little Pixie.

Ving Rhames named his daughter Reignbeau (Rainbow, oh how clever Ving!)

David Bowie's son from his first marriage is Zowie Duncan Heywood (he changed it to Joey as an adult, shocker!)

Erykah Badu must've really liked that Seinfeld episode and named her son Seven.

John Melloncamp's son is named Speck Wildhorse.

John Leguizamo's daughter is Allegra Sky.

Shannyn Sossamon's son is Audio Science.

Jason Lee named his son Pilot Inspektor.

David Carradine named his son Free.

And of course Frank Zappa's children are Moon Unit, Ahmet, Dweezil, and Diva.

I really liked the middle name Sparkle for my future little girl, but everyone convinced me she'd end up a hooker so I dropped it. I'll probably end up using something normal like Grace or Elisabeth. I also like the name Patricia, but if she's the slightest little bit over weight she'll be called fatty patty. I guess celebs think that with all of their fame and money their kids won't be picked on. Of course in Hollywood with all of the "different" names the ones named Bob or Sue will the ones that get picked on for having ordinary names.

I like interesting names, but I also like classic pretty names. Like, if I had a daughter, I'd probably name her Audrey. And if I had a second daughter, I'd probabl do something weird and name her Zelda.

Tallulah Belle sounds like they were trying to sound as southern as possible. "Well, Tallulah Bankhead, she was southern, right? And Belle? Well, a SOUTHERN BELLE." They probably teach that child how to throw tea parties in the late summer evening.

Uma Thurman's (and Ethan Hawke's) kids have some weird names, too. I think one is Maya (not that weird) and the other is Roan, which I'd never heard of before.

Mustn't forget the infamous Frances Bean Cobain.

I like creativity, definitely, but naming your child Apple just sounds like a macrobiotic diet talking.
