[laminy.livejournal.com]

Sugar Ray singer, former Extra co-host Mark McGrath and his fiancee Carin have welcomed a set of twins: Lydon Edward and Hartley Grace.

Perez Hilton praised them for not giving the kids horrible names, but I'm not so sure. WDYT?

No, those are pretty bad. Lydon and Hartley? WTF? At least the middle names are nice enough and they could use those if they wanted.

Don't like any of the names... Lydon makes me think of lying and Hartley, Harley or Heart. Not so great, really made up sounding, too.

I like the middle names, A LOT. Why did they have to use such bad first names???

Why not Lyndon?

They sure aren't the worst ever, but Hartley makes me want to throw up a little.

To me, Lydon and Hartley are...bad. Haha.
I hate Grace, but Edward is okay.

I saw this last night and was going to post. They're...not good. :(

I'm with you, I think Hilton's praise is unwarranted. Yuck

[jeweledvixen.livejournal.com]

Oh, Perez! You idiot! You have zero taste in anything. These names are pretty damn bad. They aren't as bad as say, Fifi Trixibelle or Pilot Inspektor, but they are BAD!

They're not horrible, but they're not great, either. Blargh.

Don't like Lydon AT ALL.
Is Hartley for a girl..? If so, what the?
I used to work with a little 1 year old boy called Hartley- he was adorable so now I'm kinda warmed up to that name!

Well, I sure wouldn't call them GREAT names, but they're not horrible. For horrible, see the above post about the girl named Diesel James Harley.

lololol I bet the boy is named after Johnny Rotten (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Rotten).

I hardly see how these are horrible names? not my style, but not worthy of playground beatdowns.

fwiw

he explained the reasoning behind the names:

When it came to choosing names, McGrath and Kingsland, who have been together for 16 years, looked to his Irish heritage for inspiration.

The twins’ first names — Lydon and Hartley — are Irish surnames “that we just really liked,” says the new dad.

The babies’ middle names also have a special meaning to the couple: Edward is McGrath’s father’s name, and McGrath translates to “grace” in Celtic, the rocker explains.
