They're all Meatheads!

[Hodar]

Celebrities being shallow, self-centered and selfish?

Who'd have thunk?

[cmsgop]

Chick down the street from me named her kid Indigo "It's a Boy", Poor Bastard...

[svcw]

What is wrong with the name Moses?

[Graybeard58]

Moon Unit and her brother Dweezle Zappa.

[Borges]

Many times I sit and ponder the fine distinctions between spunk, gumption, moxie and wherewithal.

[GSlob]

It should have been not "Apple", but, at least "Quadra", or, considering the child's age, "Powerbook".

[DoughtyOne]

Frankly, I could care less that these parents are even on the planet, and when it comes to their children, I care even less.

What passes for celebrity in this nation bores the hell out of me.

I like it when people make stupid choices hyphenating their last names. The friend of a friend married a woman whose last name was Jolley, and his name was Berger. Yes, Jolley-Berger for the kid. I can't remember what they actually named the poor girl but I was saying if it was a boy they should name him Buster Harry.

[Lost Dutchman]

I came across as a centralist...

Probably because the questions were so vague I answered maybe to most of them...

"It's like having a mini me," said a clinical psychologist in Los Angeles. "The child is a part of them, not an individual. It's an appendage."

Yep. If only this was only a Hollywood problem. Poor kids.

I like the one in the book "Freakanomics" best. The author studied the weird names people gave to their children, and the economic effect it had upon them. A set of twins were named "Lemon Jello" and "Orange Jello". When he interviewed the mother, she set him straight, "the names are le mon jello, and or ange jellon", in kind of a frenchy twist.

Typo on first try...........so solly

I can't stand Gwyneth Paltrow, but I don't see what the hell is wrong with the name Moses. Why is Moses bad and Peter good? They're both Biblical names. I mean, Judas would probably be a bad choice, but Moses is ok. Moses Malone is a cool name. I mean, if everyone were named Bob, Jim and John, that'd be pretty f-ing boring. Sure, celebs come up with dumb names (Moon Unit springs to mind), but then again, using the same old names over and over is pretty dull. There has to be a middle ground somewhere.

"Why Stars Name Babies Moxie, Moses and Apple"

I think they’re all interesting names, a couple are cute. My first son is named Rush. If we had a girl, I was going to call her Tuesday. Last week I met a little girl named Liberty. People who have a problem with that would probably bore the crap out of me.

[Popman]

[Budge]

Not just clebrities. Couple here in town named their boy...here's how it's pronounced... she-'ted

He's an adult now.

I'm not going to post how it's spelled, I might get kicked off for talking dirty!

My, and NC KERR's, older brother, Dan (aka "Sauce" of "Nymph Records"), an ultra liberal, who is 31 years old and still travels the nation as a hippie with a music career that just won't take off (view his profile at (caution!): http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=13180816 ), named his daughter Atari Tuesday Kerr.

[Calvin Locke]

I'm trying to finish up a book on a Hollywood agent. He supposedly came up with the names Rock Hudson, Rory Calhoun, Troy Donahue, etc.

It became a running joke/game, so Bogart contributed "Dungg Heep", Tony Curtis liked "Ben Dover", some columnist penned "Wyatt Trash"...

[Lady Jag]

Yeahbut, the original Meathead suffered from intelligence lightyears beyond these actor thingies!
