Celebrity kids' names

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

Ok, now I have to ask: does anyone know WHY Britney Spears' kids are ALWAYS called by their full names (first and middle) ? It's always Sean Preston and Jayden James, in the press, in the web news, everywhere. Is that a Southern thing to do? Do you think they actually go by those names at home? For some reason, I'd always thought it was just the media that had somehow gotten into the habit of doing that with her kids, but then I read that she sent out XMas family cards, signed with her name and her kids' full names.

So what's the deal? I've never heard it that way with any other celebrity kid.

I think it may be a media thing just as much as a Southern thing (if, in fact, it is a Southern thing). After Nicole Kidman's daughter was born, she was always referred to as 'Sunday Rose'; very rarely was it ever just Sunday. It's died off now, but it does happen.

I've got no problem with it, I just think it has it's place. And Sean often gets called 'Preston' (Britney even has a necklace with 'Preston' and 'Jayden' on it) which sometimes makes me wonder why she didn't just call him that in the first place.

i heard that she and kevin were planning on naming him preston, but kevin convinced britney to use sean as his first name after they got a message from diddy (aka sean combs) saying congratulations on the pregnancy. i have no idea if this is true though..just something i heard.
