A twin brother and sister entered the world on July 12 and were bestowed these names: Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline. Considering they were born to a celebrity couple, namely Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, these little ones dodged a serious bullet. Others born into the tiny victimized class of the celebrity baby have not been so lucky, and the wee Jolie-Pitts will surely be grateful if they ever share a sandbox with Freedom and Reignbeau, Ving Rhames' children, or Pilot Inspektor, Jason Lee's child, or Jermajesty, Jermaine Jackson's son.

The Green Bay packers had a guy named Terdell Middleton.
Always wondered what they called him for short.

I really feel sorry for these kids that are burdened with such strange names. They’ll never be able to go into a store and see their name on a cup or other souvenir that most kids can...............

One black comedian on a late night talker I watched said he named his daughter “Mary”, because he figured there was enough of a glass ceiling in her life already.

I saw a stand up routine with black comedian Chris Rock, where he lamented the names black people have been coming up lately.
It's like the first thing momma sees after giving birth becomes the name. Or something to that effect.
I couldn't believe it. Funny as hell routine, but if a white comic had done it, he would have been crucified.

What about Dick Trickle, or Misty Hymen?
Sheesh. I would have socked my parents in the mouth.

William Lear, of Lear Jet fame, named his daughter Crystal Shanda.
If Tuesday Weld (old actress) married Hal March (old movie producer), she would have been Tuesday March the II.
I went to school with a girl named Penny Nichols.

I heard of a couple in China who wanted to name their daughter “@”
the internet symbol “AT” is prounounced in China as “ai ta” which sounds like the characters for “love her.”
