I'm not sure I believe this...

But if it's true? Shit.

It's just SO COOL and UNIQUE to name your kid after a murderer. Fucking idiots.

Oh, christ. That's up there with Kal-el Cage and Tu Morrow.

(I bet all celebrity baby names are a secret plot by psychologists, so that they've got a ready made clientele with tons of money in about twenty years.)

I like it. :) But then, I know a lot of dogs named Capone.

[razzle-spazzle.livejournal.com]

Good god.

Mob murderer reference aside, I like it.

Shall consider* it gossip. I mean, last time I checked they weren't even admitting they were expecting.

Regardless, poor kid will never live down the reference. That and there's just something about the name itself that sounds absurd. Not that it put them off before. *rolls eyes*

Am going to have to become 'naming consultant to the stars', then get them to use decent names. You can be 'cool' without scaring your kids for life.

*which is of course a synom of 'pray profusely that...'

Sigh. Why must celebrities give their poor children names that (if they were average kids) would get them beat up at school? :P

apple. capone. bleh

[rockstargrrrlie.livejournal.com]

Agreed.

[composure.livejournal.com]

To each their own.

[dionysia.livejournal.com]

Not.

Capone and his big sis Apple will definitely be getting their lunch money stolen in grade school. Poor kids. Oh wait, mommy and daddy are big celebs so it's quite alright that their named after a murderer and a piece of fruit.. *sigh*

[ewaeva.livejournal.com]

Ummm... serial killer reference aside, Dahmer and Manson are also OK.

I don't know how you can get around the reference.

Someone's sarcasm detector is WAY off.

[ewaeva.livejournal.com]

*hides under desk in shame... but also relief. And adjusts sarcasm detector*

Will you forgive me, given that some people _unsarcastically_ said that they liked it?

Some of the name suggestions in here that I thought were jokes turned out to be perfectly serious... so the sarcasm detector is not always to be trusted!

Oh, please God, no. Isn't there SOMEONE in their family that can stop them from naming their children ridiculous things? I know Apple is out there, but Cappone is just horrendous. I've actually warmed up to thier daughter's name, it's actually pleasant sounding (for a baby, but not on a woman). But Cappone is terrible.

Let's pray, pray, PRAY it's gossip. lol

What a moron.
When will celebrities realise that their children will one day be grown-ups and not 6 months old forever? I would change my name as fast as possible if it were Blue Angel (Blue skadoo, we can too! *booooiiinnggg!*), Fifi Trixibelle (is it a child or a poodle? Actually, I wouldn't even name my poodle that), Zahara Marley (sounds like a fortune-telling woman in a batik mumu who charges $2.99 per minute on the phone), or Nevaeh/Madison/Eva/Ava/Isabella/Kaylee (if I hear any of those names one more time, I'm going to slap someone).
