Celebrities get a bad rap with the propensity of many to give their babies weird names. They aren’t any more likely than non-celebrities to get overly creative with their nomenclature; they’re just better publicized. Still, where do parents come up with some of these things? And why do they want to do this to their children? A few (celebrity and non-celebrity) names I’ve heard over the years:
- Ima Hogg (’nuff said)
- Dweezil & Moon Unit (C’mon! Patek Philippe sounds more like a baby name, and it’s a watch!)
- George, and George, and George, and George, and George Foreman … (The name isn’t bad. But here a little more creativity might’ve been helpful!)
- Autumn Skye Woods (All beautiful names. But together, they seem like a little much.)
- Jermajesty (That sounds like a setup for chaos in the household. “And what would you like for lunch, Jermajesty?”)
- Tu Morrow (Uh huh. That’s just “tu” cute.)
We, on the other hand, enjoy imagining the possibilities, for entertainment, while recognizing that we would never, ever actually bestow such names upon our helpless children.
Like Lottie. Lottie Ramey.
How about Shady Oakes (my cousin) or Tomorrow (former nail gal)?
