Celeb Babies!

Actress Shannyn Sossamon had a son recently and named him Mortimer. What do you think? Is that an improvement over her 8 year old son's name? His name is Audio Science. Mortimer is a legit name of course. It doesn't sound very attractive. I'd rather be a Mortimer than an Audio Science. 

Jeremy Sisto and his wife recently welcomed a son named Bastian Kick. I like Bastian as a nickname for Sebastian. Kick is just dumb. Jeremy's daughter is named Charlie-Ballerina.  Which is worse? I think the girl's name is worse. Why Ballerina? Is that what they want her to be? What if she hates dancing? I don't get it. 

Jessica Simpson is due with a baby girl soon. I am afraid of what she might name her kid. Jessica has said that it is not a typical name but you can find it in the dictionary. 

I'm so sorry it's been too long since I made a post. I will try to post more often. 

Is this bad?

Jason Bateman and his wife Amanda named their daughter Maple Sylvie. I don't like the name. I don't think it's that horrible considering other celebrity baby names. Maple makes me think of Maple Syrup. Especially paired with an "S" middle name. I do love Sylvie though. Jason and Amanda have another daughter named Francesca Nora. That name is gorgeous. 

Blue Ivy

That is the name of Jay-Z and Beyonce's baby girl. What do you think? I like Ivy. I hate Blue. Ivy Blue would have been better.

Diesel Daigle

Terrible, right? Yikes! Diesel is dumb enough on its own. Combined with a rhyming surname it's unbearable. Jennie Finch and Casey Daigle named their son Diesel. Diesel's older brother is Ace Shane. BTW, Diesel's middle name is Dean. LOL Jennie Finch is an olympic softball player and her husband is an MLB pitcher.

Bad Celebrity Baby Name

Vince Vaughn and his wife Kyla named their daughter Locklyn. I can't even begin to describe how gross this name is for a girl. Why do they always misspell male names when they use them on girls? It doesn't make the name look feminine or cute. It looks dumb! I hope Lochlan won't become a Finley for girls. Finley is becoming popular for girls because Angie Harmon and her husband named their daughter Finley. Does anyone actually like this name on a girl?

Little Sparrow

To the woman who commented that Braylee is unique.. It's not. I've seen it spelled Braylee, Braylie, Brayli, Braelee etc

Now, to the big news of the day..

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden have named their son Sparrow James Midnight Madden. Does anyone like Sparrow? I think it's horrible. A sparrow is a weak little bird. And the sister is named Harlow. I'm sensing a trend. Suggestions for a sibling: Bow, Glow, Afterglow, Arrow, Bungalow, Elbow, Hollow, Marshmallow, Wheelbarrow, and my favorite.. Shallow.

A celebrity birth

Jamie Oliver is a chef from England who is best known as The Naked Chef. Jamie and his wife, Jools have 3 daughters. Poppy Honey(7), Daisy Boo(6) and a newborn daughter named Petal Blossom Rainbow. Daisy is a fine name. Boo? What the heck is Boo?Poppy makes me think more of someones Grandpa than a flower but it's not too bad. Honey is a good name for a stripper. Petal Blossom Rainbow sounds like a name an 8 year old would come up with for her new baby sister. Did it occur to them that Petal sounds like pedal and peddle? Blossom will always remind me of the TV series. Rainbow reminds me of Rainbow Brite. Speaking of 80's cartoons.. Petal Blossom Rainbow sounds like the name of a My little pony. I wonder what they would name a boy. I think Branch Treestump would work. Or maybe Rock Ocean Bay. Got any suggestions on a name for a 4th child for Jamie and Jools? Leave your suggestions in the comments section.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I'm all for people using names that represent their background, but lets be real... What is with people name their kids Ireland? Americans who have very little Irish blood love to use Irish surnames for girls like Murphy, Reagan, Riley, Kennedy etc I'm not saying you have to be Irish to name your child Ryan or Siobhan but please stop using surnames and faux names for your children. Don't go around claiming to be proud to be Irish and then giving your child a hideous name like Irelynn which a real person from Ireland would never use.

Celebrity baby names

We all know that celebs have been giving their kids ridiculous names for years. Frank Zappa was one of the first celebs to give his children wacky names. His kids are Diva, Moon Unit, Dweezil, and Ahmet. Ahmet is actually a real name. It's the Turkish form of Ahmad. I bet he feels lucky. Bob Geldof and Paul Yates named their kids Peaches Honeyblossom Michelle Charlotte Angel Vanessa(That's one child), Fifi Trixiebelle and Pixie. Paula also had a daughter with Michael Hutchence named Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily. John Mellencamp and his wife, Elaine have two sons named Hud and Speck. John alson has two daughters from a previous marriage named Teddi Jo and Justice. This trend is still going strong today. Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow have a daughter named Apple. Nicolas Cage has a son named Kal-El. Pete and Ashlee Wentz have a son named Bronx Mowgli. I could go on forever.. The interesting/sad thing is that non-celeb parents are influenced by celebrity baby naming trends and the celebrity world in general. The name Miley was never on the baby name charts until 2007 when it broke onto the charts at #278 out around 1,000 names. It will be fun to see how this name does for 2008 when the naming stats are released some time in May. Miley's actual birth name was Destiny Hope. I say was because she legally changed it to Miley Ray Cyrus last year. Miley came from a nickname her father called her. (Smiley) It got shortened to Miley and the name stuck. I can't imagine naming my child after some other child's nickname. What is wrong with people? Don't these parents realize how embarrassed their daughters are going to be in the future when they realized they were named for a teen Disney star? It wouldn't be a bad thing if it was a common name like an Ella or Penelope. One of the problems with names like these is that they date the child to one time period. Everyone knows how old a woman named Shirley likely is. The same thing will happen to all the little girls named Miley when they get older. They will be stuck with a ridiculous fad name. It's like being forced to wear the same hairstyle or trend for your entire life. Can you picture yourself wearing skinny jeans for life?
