Celeb names.

[paperboat118.livejournal.com]

So, lets talk about celeb's names.
Most of the time, they have ludo-crazy names, but sometimes not.

For instance:
BAM MARGERA.
Who in the hell would name their kid Bam?!
[obviously April and whatshisface]

Ava Elizabeth is Reese Witherspoon & Ryan Phillipe's daughter.

Deacon is okay, but it makes me think of church, and Im not a religous person, so it's not my fave name.

I love the name Kelly Brianne [Clarkson]. I wouldnt name my daughter Kelly, too popular, but Brianne is gorgeous.

What celeb names do you find terrible? Good? Great?

I think Bam's name is Brandon and then he just got the nickname Bam...which I can totally see haha.

Ava Elizabeth is lovely, but I don't like Deacon at all.

I don't like most celebrity baby names. Jamison and Piper are kind of cute (Piper--Gillian Anderson and Jamison a few celebrities)

worst names ever i think though....
Bob Geldof/ Paula Yates --> Fifi-Trixibelle, Peaches, Pixie

[paperboat118.livejournal.com]

oh lord, those are worse than Apple!

[lkw18.livejournal.com]

if their parents weren't famous....oh lord...

[a-purple-dream.livejournal.com]

I like Brianne but not Kelly (know a girl with the name, don't like her much)

[mooselet.livejournal.com]

I believe Brianne is loads more popular than Kelly nowadays. : )

I've always liked Catherine Zeta-Jones name, I think it has a really nice flow. Most celeb baby names aren't my style.

I said the EXACT thing last night about Bam.. to my husband. How weird.

- Apple... I know there's a lot of flack about this, but it doesn't seem any stranger to me than naming your daughter after a flower or herb (Sage, Rosemary, Bailey, Violet, Rose). I like that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner named their daughter Violet - very pretty.

- Phinnaeas and Hazel are ok but not my style (Julia Roberts' kids)

- I've commented before and I'll say it again - Alabama Barker is a crappy name.

- Sean Preston isn't terribly offensive although it reminds me way too much of the names teen girls gave their kids in my high school. Not sure why!

- Jack & Henry are popular among celebs and I like those.

- I don't like Maddox and Zahara -- Maddox seems very trendy to me and sounds like a product name, and Zahara is like a bastardization of Sahara, and I feel like that's a pretty rotten name to give a baby from Africa. Why not just name her Africa? And my aunt will name her adopted daughter Korea? Eh, not a fan. (Angelina Jolie's kids)

- Carys is kind of pretty (Catherine Zeta Jones/Michael Douglas), but why Dylan?? Seems uninspired.

taylor hanson's kids are jordan ezra and penelope anne. :\

[invisiblegirl4.livejournal.com]

I like Penelope Anne! I think it's cute. Forgive my ignorance, but is Jordan Ezra male or female?

[solyma.livejournal.com]

jordan ezra is male.

[paperboat118.livejournal.com]

I love the name Ezra.

[solyma.livejournal.com]

really? it's alright, i guess.

[timed.livejournal.com]

Me too. For a middle name, anyway.

[babyhoyt.livejournal.com]

talyor hanson has kids?!?! isn't he like, 18?

[solyma.livejournal.com]

haha no, he's 22 i think... turning 23 soon.

[babyhoyt.livejournal.com]

*sigh* when did I get so old?

but he's the sort of person I point out to hubby and say, I can't believe HE has a kid, and WE don't! we are so behind!

[solyma.livejournal.com]

haha aww! he started out young, though.. he was a husband/dad when he was 19 i think. so you're probably not behind- he's just way ahead! :)

[babyhoyt.livejournal.com]

I'm just being average again :) avg height, avg shoe size, avg marrying age, avg baby age!

[bellisima87.livejournal.com]

I think that Ava Elizabeth is such a cute name and I would definitely name my daughter Ava Elizabeth.

I don't like the name Paris and Brooklyn and all that crap..

[xfadedstarletx.livejournal.com]

Bams name is Brandon, as the first commenter pointed out :)
I watched a show on celebrity baby names and some were just ridiculous, like that one, Pilot Inspektor, I think cant remember who did that though.

I do like Ava, that was going to be my sons name if he was a girl, and I really like Violet (Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garners baby), Im not a big fan of Sean Preston though.

[composure.livejournal.com]

Jason Lee's child was Pilot Inspektor, just for the record.

[http://users.livejournal.com/---babylove/]

i remember that pilot inspektor from that show on VH1... heh. I can't remember who's kid it was, though...

rumer - (demi moore/bruce willis) it's just stupid.

maddox - (angelina jolie) i personally like this alot, and always have.... hmmm.

Zowie Bowie - (david bowie) ridiculous...

jermajesty - (jermaine jackson) nothing really to say about this...

someone named their baby banjo, can't remember who...

[invisiblegirl4.livejournal.com]

Pilot Inspektor is Jason Lee's son's name. I forgot who the mother is though.

[sl33pyhed.livejournal.com]

Rachel Griffith from Six Feet Under, I think.

[lavandersparkle.livejournal.com]

Okay for starters I absolutly hate Chasity (Sunny and Cher's daughter), Apple ( Gwenyth Paltrow's daughter), India (Sarah McLachlan's daughter), Banjo (Rachel Griffith's son), Martina (As in Martina McBride), Zowie (David Bowie's son), Coco (Courtney Cox Arquette and David Arquette's daughter), Ireland (Alec Baldwin's daughter), Aquinnah (Michael J. Fox's daughter), Fifi Peaches and Pixie which are all Bob Geldof's kids, and Ryder (Kate Hudson's son).

But I really like Violet (Jennifer Garner's baby), Lily-Rose (Johnny Depp's daughter), and Elizabeth Scarlett (first name and middle name this time also one of Mick Jagger's daughters).

[babyhoyt.livejournal.com]

I am not keen on Coco, but I think it was Courtney Cox's nn growing up. so I'll let it slide.

[trissyd.livejournal.com]

How about the infamous names of Frank Zappa's children:

Moon Unit Zappa, Diva Muffin & Dweezil Zappa

*sigh* Those have got to be my personal favorites!

[knightanika.livejournal.com]

Michael Jackson's children. Paris, Prince Michael and Prince Michael II... Nothing like naming your sons after yourself not once...but twice! Poor Poor children.

[anapology.livejournal.com]

Prince Michael Katherine is a girl :-/ ick...poor girl!

[knightanika.livejournal.com]

ah...i didn't know that.

That poor poor girl!

can I steal your icon and give you credit?

[colin-chaotic.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised that no one's mentioned Rob Morrow's daughter yet. You know, Tu.

That's right. Tu Morrow. That poor child.

[invisiblepet.livejournal.com]

Do like:
Sarah McLachlan's India (what do you expect from Sarah?? It fits her)
John Travolta's Jett
Kim Basinger's Ireland
Nicole Kidman's Isabel

Don't like:
Angelina's Mad Ox
Julia's Phinneas
George Foreman's naming style
Madonna's Rocco
Pam Anderson's Dylan and Brandon (90210 anyone?)

[timed.livejournal.com]

Hahahah it's Maddox. But Mad Ox made it look really funny.

[invisiblepet.livejournal.com]

I know. I have trouble seeing the correct pronunciation when that name is in print. Mattox or Mattux might've been easier.

[babyhoyt.livejournal.com]

I find it wonderfully refreshing when a celeb uses a "normal" name. Britney drives me crazy, but thank you for going so simple as Sean Preston! Julia's Phinneas isn't normal, but from a great classic novel, so ok.

[anapology.livejournal.com]

I just picked out a couple of celebrity girls names

Ava Elizabeth, Ava was original when Reese named her daughter..
Anais- (Meg Matthews & Noel Gallagher)- One of my all time favourite names
Coco- (courtney cox & David Arquette)I think this is cute... a little over the top but pretty.
Iris- (Jude Law & Sadie Frost) Lovely lovely lovely
Seven- Ahh i love it! Sorry if that's really weird!
Cicely- (Sandra Benhard) I love this name
Isabella & Connor- (Nicole Kidman & Tom Cruise) These are such pretty names
Lily-Rose Melody (Johnny Depp)- Lily, Rose & Melody are all pretty names but all together it sounds wayyy over the top
Emerson Rose (Teri Hatcher)- Ehhh Emerson sounds like a boys name to me

[miss--nikki.livejournal.com]

I can't believe no one NO ONE brought up Jillette & Emily Penn (Jillette Penn is from Penn & Teller show on Showtime I think they are magicians, and Teller NEVER speaks) anyway Jillette & Emily named their baby girl Moxie... not so bad... but they named her... drum roll

Moxie CrimeFighter Penn... and what's even worse is WHY they did it. According to CBS they did it because when their daughetr gets pulled over for a speeding ticket she can say, "but officer we're on the same side my middle name is CrimeFighter." Ha. (I hope that reason is a joke)

I personally think Apple is adorable, it took me a long time to think that because at first I laughed, but when you think about it, it is cute. It's an adorable little girls name and isn't so bad as say Pilot, or CrimeFighter, or some of these other crazy names.

Hazel is cute, but Phinneas is weird (classic, but odd), Ireland is cute and different, Ava is what I want to name my baby girl. I think a few Celebs have choosen Lola too which is cute. (Madonna's girls name is actually Lourdes but calls her Lola.)

Tu Morrow... is just ridiculous. 9But no one will ever forget.) ;-)

[composure.livejournal.com]

Nelly has a daughter named Chanel. I think that's adorable.

[nosleepnever.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised no one mentioned David Duchovny and Tea Leone. Their son's name is KID. WTF? "Come 'ere, Kid!" *note as all kids in the playground turn around*

[cathkitten.livejournal.com]

It's actually Kyd, which is even worse!

[cathkitten.livejournal.com]

Kate Winslet named her daughter Mia Honey, which I think is cute in a "Good thing she never had a chance of being Supreme Court Justice" sort of way.
