I'm sorry if this has been posted already, but I did a search and didn't see it. I came across an article on iVillage that lists the worst names that celebrities have used:
http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/23631411/?pg=2&#TDY_Names_Bad>1=43001

ETA: It gets worse, I clicked through the rest of the article and it also lists diseases, food, etc that people have actually named their children according to the census reports.

I completely and utterly disagree with three of them. Knox Leon, Sunday Rose and Apple. I like those names.

Yes, the other ones are fairly awful.

Why am I always surprised when Frank Zappa doesn't make these lists?

some of them are embarrassing at all. ones that didn't make the list, but probably should have:

banjo patrick - son of rachel griffiths
george I, II, III etc - sons of george forman
jermajesty - son of jermaine jackson
moon unit, diva muffin & dweezil - children of frank zappa
peaches & pixie - daughters of bob geldof
speck wildhorse - son of john mellencamp
tu morrow - daughter of rob morrow

i think apple is kind of a ridiculous name, but i guess i've gotten used to it. i think the WORST part about her name is the fact that her full one is apple martin. apple martini...??
