So Nicole Kidman has called her daughter Sunday. It’s not quite as eccentric or bizarre as many other names but you can still imagine the kids in the playground “what day is it Sunday?” “what you doing on Sunday Sunday?” and that’s just the nice kids!
Why do celebrities feel the need to give their child a name that is not even a name? We all want to be original and unique but some parents are just damn right cruel when they name their kids!
Nevertheless the wacky names that celebs chose to give their children does supply us with some entertainment. Here are my top 20 favourite celebrity baby names:
20) Apple - Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin. If you’re going to name your child after a fruit I think Grape would have been a much better choice…
19) Zowie - Angela and David Bowie. Yep that’s right, Zowie Bowie. He later changed his name to Joe before settling on Duncan, can you blame him?!
18) Peaches – Paula Yates and Bob Geldof. Is it just me or have we heard this name so much now that it almost seems well normal?
17) Harlow Winter – Nicole Richie and Joel Madden. This name could be quite cute except whenever I think of Harlow I think of the rough town in Essex. Not so cute.
16) Blue Angel – Aislinn O’Sullivan and The Edge from U2. Can anyone with this name ever be taken seriously? Good job she’s the daughter of a celebrity because she’d never be taken seriously in a real job. Can you imagine “Blue Angel will see you now” or “Blue Angel will be performing this operation.”
15) Rocket - Elizabeth Avellan and Robert Rodriguez. They also have kids called Racer, Rebel, Rogue and Rhiannon. Lucky Rhiannon…
14) Bluebell Madonna – Geri Halliwell and Sacha Gervasi. This could really catch on. How about Daffodil Britney? Sunflower Whitney? Or even Snapdragon Cher?
13) Princess Tiaamii – Jordan and Peter Andre. With Jordan’s love of pink and anything girly we could see this coming a mile off, doesn’t mean it’s ok though.
12) Fifi Trixibell – Paula Yates and Bob Geldof. Why do two ordinary named humans – Paula and Bob – give their children such unordinary names?
11) Lark song – Mia Farrow and Andre Previn. The name Lark doesn’t even sound cute without the song bit on the end so god knows what went through Mia’s head when she named her daughter.
10) Tu - Debbon Ayer and Rob Morrow. This is great, the parents knew exactly what they were doing when they named their daughter Tu (Morrow). But what were they thinking?! It may have been a fun pun at first but the poor girl has to live with that name forever, or until she marries… hopefully to someone with the surname Day…
9) Sage Moonblood - Sasha Czack and Sylvester Stallone. Any name with the word ‘blood’ in it should never be considered as a possible name for your child.
8 ) Audio Science - Shannyn Sossamon and Dallas Clayton. This sounds like a character from something like Dexter’s Laboratory. That means it should definitely not be the name of a child.
7) Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily - Paula Yates and Michael Hutchence. Take the first 3 words from this away and the name is pretty good.
6) Moon unit - Adelaide Gail Sloatman and Frank Zappa. I have nothing to say about this name other than why?!
5) Diva Thin Muffin - Adelaide Gail Sloatman and Frank Zappa. Frank and his wife were clearly high on drugs when they named their children. Diva, we can almost forgive, but Thin Muffin? WTF?!
4) Jermajesty - Alejandra Oiaza and Jermaine Jackson. Who the hell names their kid Jermajesty?! You’d expect it from Michael, but not Jermaine, the so-called sensible one of the family.
3) Pilot Inspektor - Beth Riesgraf and Jason Lee. Jason named him after a song he heard by the band Grandaddy called “He’s Simple, He’s Dumb, He’s the Pilot”. If the man had just waited for eight more tracks on the same album he could have named him E. Knievel Interlude which is equally ridiculous but in a much cooler way.
2) Moxie Crime fighter - Emily and Penn Jillette. Nobody cares about middle names right? Fair enough, but that doesn’t explain the Moxie part…
1) Kyd - Tea Leoni and David Duchovny. Not the most kooky or downright ridiculous name but it’s my favourite because it’s just so simple yet so stupid.
Be thankful your parents aren’t stars!
