25 bizarre rock star kids' names

In celebration of the birth of Bingham Bellamy to proud parents Kate Hudson and Muse's Matt Bellamy, here's a gallery of rock offspring with, shall we say, interesting names.

Who: Zuma Rossdale
Parents: Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale.
Why? Well it's better than 'Puma' we suppose..

Who: Zowie Bowie
Parents: Angie and David Bowie.
Why? It was the 70's...He later changed his name to 'Duncan'. Take that, ma and pa.

Who: Audio Science Clayton
Parents: Former Warpaint drummer and actress Shannyn Sossamon and author Dallas Clayton
Why? When your parents are called 'Shannyn' and 'Dallas' you're not going to be called 'Brian' are you?

Who: Rolan Bolan
Parents: Marc Bolan and Gloria Jones
Why? Because 'Mo Mowlan Bolan' was taken...

Who: Pixie Geldof
Parents: Bob Geldof and Paula Yates
Why? Next to Peaches and FiFi Trixiebelle 'Pixie' is kinda dull...

Who: Peaches Geldof
Parents: Bob Geldof and Paula Yates
Why? Next to Pixie and FiFi Trixibelle, 'Peaches' is...Oh you get the point.

Who: Otis Ferry
Parents: Bryan Ferry and Lucy Helmore
Why? So we could all say "Oh Otis, you pro-hunting idiot," one day.

Who: Moon Unit Zappa
Parents: Gail and Frank Zappa
Why? Perfect name for the voice behind 'Valley Girl'. She has a sibling called Dweezil.

Who: Lennon Gallagher
Parents: Liam Gallagher and Nicole Appleton
Why? A Beatles obsession gone too far...

Who: Everly Bear Kiedis
Parents: Anthony Kiedis and Heather Christie
Why? It's like they played the 'what's your porn star name?' game and it stuck.

Who: Seven Sirius
Parents: Erykah Badu and Outkast's Andre 3000
Why? Possibly a superstitious reference to a lucky number or just, you know, two hippies naming a baby.

Who:Bronx Mowgli Wentz
Parents: Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson
Why? It means 'male hair straighners' in Arabic.

Who: Bluebelle Madonna
Parents: Geri Halliwell and Sasha Gervasi
Why? The kid got off lightly considering Geri's dog is called 'Harry Halliwell'.

Who: Apple Martin
Parents: Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow
Why? Possibly to encourage a future of adult alcoholism, "Hi I'm Apple Martin, can I have an apple martini please?"

Who: Bingham Bellamy
Parents: Matt Bellamy and Kate Hudson
Why? Apparently the name has 'family connections'. That was the dog's name wasn't it?

Who: Blue Angel Evans
Parents: The Edge and Aislinn O'Sullivan
Why? Named after his favourite Roy Orbison song, was nearly called 'Ooby Dooby Evans'.

Who:Egypt Daoud Ibarr Dean
Parents: Alicia Keys and Swizz Beats
Why? Prepped for a life-time of bar pick up lines, in the style of "Hi, have you ever been to Egypt baby?"

Who: Dylan Jagger Lee
Parents: Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson
Why? Nearly as bad as 'Lennon Gallagher'...

Who: Bandit Lee Way
Parents: Gerard Way and LynZ
Why? Clearly got confused between 'Naming characters in The Umbrella Academy' and 'naming my actual child'.

Who: Storm Brieann Sixx
Parents: Nikki Sixx and Brandi Brandt
Why? 'Stormbrie-ann' is the most popular brand of cheese in La Rochelle (possibly).

Who: Eja D'Angelo
Parents: Shania Twain and Mutt Lange
Why? There's not much hope if your dad is called 'Mutt' is there?

Who: Lux Gillespie
Parents: Bobby Gillepsie and Katy England
Why? Due to a love of either The Cramps or soap.

Who: Omri Greenwood
Parents: Jonny Greenwood and Sharona Katan
Why? It's probably something to do with trees, isn't it?

Who: Jonas Rocket
Parents: Tom Delonge and Jennifer Delonge
Why? He hearts the Jonas Brothers. Who knew?

Who: Sparrow James Midnight Madden
Parents: Joel Madden and Nicole Ritchie
Why? This is what happens when you play a word association game when drunk in order to name your kid.

I love Lux and Omri.

[morningapproach.livejournal.com]

I love Jonas personally. I am also a fan of Sparrow, Apple, and Bear.

[stormqueen280.livejournal.com]

Hilarious!! But there are a lot of weird names missing here. I mean, they put Peaches and Pixie in the list, but not FiFi? What about the Bruce Willis/Demi Moore kids? Nicholas Cage's kids?

[danne-gerous.livejournal.com]

IKR? Also, apparently Pixie's first name is Little, so it's Little Pixie Geldof.

[stormqueen280.livejournal.com]

OMG, Little Pixie? That's such a mean thing to do to your child...

Also, found this:

[fangirlism]

Bruce Willis' and Nicolas Cage's kids aren't on this list because it's specifically for rock star kids.

[stormqueen280.livejournal.com]

Wow, I missed that completely. But even if you leave just musicians, there are still a lot of weird names, like Fuchsia (Sting), Marquise (50 cent), and the worst of all, Jermajesty (Jermaine Jackson).

[fangirlism]

Oh, I totally agree with that point, lol.

[harinakshi.livejournal.com]

OMFG, Jermajesty??!?!?! That might be the WORST name ever. I'll say it's worse than Marijuana Pepsi!

[harinakshi.livejournal.com]

Some of these really aren't that bad. Especially when you think of some of the really out there names. I mean, how can you put names like Jonas or Lennon in the same category as Bluebelle, Pixie, Moon Unit, etc. At least some of those are real honest to goodness names!

[kjerlandsen.livejournal.com]

I love Lux and Jonas.

[spaceandclouds.livejournal.com]

I really like Lux, Otis, Lennon and Eja, actually.

[mirhanda.livejournal.com]

And Otis is a pretty old name too. I mean he was the town drunk in the Andy Griffin show and that was back in the late 50s or early 60s right? So it must be even older than that, because (if I recall correctly) they deliberately chose old-fashioned sounding names for the show.

[mirhanda.livejournal.com]

*Andy Griffith. Damn fingers, haha!

[ninjanette.livejournal.com]

haha I love Lux! I also don't mind everly or Jonas.

[laminy.livejournal.com]

I said the same thing in the original post, this article sucks. Sure, some of these names are bizarre, but Otis? Jonas? Dylan Jagger, Lennon...in no way are those names bizarre.

[danne-gerous.livejournal.com]

That was mostly why I posted it. There are way worse names than the ones they chose. As well as the poor attempt at snark.

Who: Audio Science Clayton
Parents: Former Warpaint drummer and actress Shannyn Sossamon and author Dallas Clayton
Why? When your parents are called 'Shannyn' and 'Dallas' you're not going to be called 'Brian' are you?

Dallas is an old name. My grandfather was named Dallas and he was born sometime just after the turn of the century, I think around 1910 or so.

Who: Seven Sirius
Parents: Erykah Badu and Outkast's Andre 3000
Why? Possibly a superstitious reference to a lucky number or just, you know, two hippies naming a baby.

Probably two Seinfeld fans.

[harinakshi.livejournal.com]

Or Married with Children fans!

[rosabelle.livejournal.com]

I kinda like Bluebelle and Sparrow.

[duckduckcaboose.livejournal.com]

I think it's so strange how Moon Unit and Dweezil Zappa are always on these kind of lists when Ahmet Emuukha Rodan Zappa and Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen Zappa are not.
