30 Celebrities who Gave their Kids Really Dumb Names

[Zoneboy]

In case you’re living in a cave somewhere, you’ll probably have noticed there’s a celebrity baby boom going on. In fact, babies have replaced really big bags and silly looking sunglasses as the accessory of choice. Many of these celebrity babies even come with designer names.

Bruce Willis and Demi Moore hit the dumb baby name trifecta with their three girls, Rumer Glenn, Scout LaRue and Tallulah Belle. With names like that is it any wonder they’re already spotted engaging in party and club hopping? Neither of them are over 21, either. This trio is destined to be famous for being famous. Not an after school job in the lot.

Bob Geldof and the late Paula Yates apparently wanted kids who would be teased mercilessly at school. The achieved this goal after they named their kids Peaches Honeyblossom, Fifi Trixibelle and Little Pixie Geldof.

You wouldn’t expect a mainstream baby name from Casey Affleck and Summer Phoenix. they named their son Indiana August Affleck. Now there’s a state I’d name my kid after.

Considering Alice Cooper’s stage show, it’s rather surprising he named his daughter Calico Dashiell. It could have been worse though, he could have named her Guillotine.

Michael Jackson thought Prince Michael had such a great ring to it, he used it to name both his sons. But don’t worry, he differentiates by calling his youngest boy “Blanket.” Daughter Paris is almost normal by comparison.

Perhaps Sonny and Cher were hoping for a pole dancer when they named their daughter Chastity. Alas, it wasn’t meant to be.

Courtney Cox and David Arquette also have a daughter who won’t have to change her name if she decides to pursue a career in the adult industry. Coco Riley will do just fine.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin thought nothing wrong with naming their little girl Apple. Let’s hope she make it through middle school with no permanent damage.

Geri Halliwell named her little girl Bluebell Madonna. All I can say it’s a good thing she’ll be rich.

Toni Braxton and husband Keri Lewis named their sons after jeans and truck fuel - Denim and Diezel.

Here are more interesting celebrity baby names:

No list of unusual celebrity baby names would be complete without a nod to
the king of the dumb baby names. The late, great Frank Zappa and his wife Gail named their kids Moon Unit, Dweezil, Diva Muffin and Ahmet.

Woody Allen and Mia Farrow- Satchel Seamus and Moses Amadeaus.

Cher and Greg Allman - Elijah Blue

Valerie Bertinelli and Eddie Van Halen - Wolfgang.

Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgewick - Sosie Ruth Bacon. Sounds like something you’d make for Sunday brunch.

David and Victoria Beckham have a trio of curiously named boys: Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.

Eryka Badu - Seven Sirius Benjamin.

Nicolas Cage & Alice Kim - Kal-El Coppola Cage.

Jason Lee - Pilot Inspektor. There are no words.

Michael Hutchens and Paula Yates - Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily. The mind bogles.

Joe Strummer - Jazz Domino

The Edge - Blue Angel. She’s going to fly jets.

Jermaine Jackson - Jermajesty. No. Really.

Penn Jillette - Zoltan and Moxie Crime Fighter.

Jamie Olivier - Daisy Boo and Poppy Honey.

Simon LeBon - Saffron Sahara, Tallulah Pine and Amber Rose which is quite tame in comparison.

Robert Rodriguez - Rocket, Racer, Rebel and Rogue. Guess he’s going for the badass vibe.

David Duchovny and Tea Leoni - Kyd. This way if they forget the name and yell “hey kid!” they have the right child.

Sylvestor Stallone - Sage Moonblood.

Bono - Memphis Eve. I hear he’s not much of a morning person.

Please note Zowie Bowie is not on this list. That’s because his real name is Duncan Zowie Haywood Jones, and Duncan Jones isn’t a dumb name.

To be continued…

[LuLu Rogers]

Actually the Beckham kids names aren't that bad, but the rest of those...wow! :eek:

[Superstar]

Geri Halliwell named her little girl Bluebell Madonna. All I can say it’s a good thing she’ll be rich.

I don't think Bluebell Madonna is that bad. I wouldn't call a kid that, but compared some of the other names listed, it's pretty tame :lol:

I think Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin's kids' names are terrible - Apple and Moses. -_-

[LoveMrsG]

I think they're all nuts!!! I don't understand why celebrities have to be so ridiculous when naming their children. How badly do they want their kids to be made fun of, anyway??? Jermajesty...Denim...Apple...??? Good Lord! And did Valerie Bertinelli and Eddie Van Halen think they were living on The Munsters or something when their son was born??? YIKES!!! :crazy:

[LoveMrsG]

Oh yeah, one more thing...I still can't get over Michael Jackson's son's name...BLANKET!!! :eek: That poor kid's going to be picked on sooooo badly. I feel so sorry for him.

Just to set the record straight, Valerie and Eddie named their son after
classical composer Wolfgang von Mozart. It sort of makes sense (albeit in
somewhat twisted way) when you consider that the child's father is a musician.

(It could've been worse; they might have named him after Ludwig von Beethoven!)

[LoveMrsG]

Sorry to keep replying like this, but I just thought of something else. You guys know Isabel Sanford, the woman who played "Weezy" on "The Jeffersons"? She's my most favorite actress ever, and I love Louise Jefferson soooo much, but while we're on the subject of celebrities' kids' names, I've seen in a couple of articles where her three children's names are listed: Pamela, Eric, and her other son's name is listed as Sanford Sanford. Now I'm not saying there's anything wrong with her giving one of her sons her last name. A lot of women do that. I'm just saying that I REALLY hope that that was a misprint or something and that he hasn't gone through his life with the exact same first AND last name. It probably was just a mistake and she gave him her maiden name and he's got a different last name. Weezy would definitely have more sense and compassion than to stick her kid with the same first and last name.

You're right. It could have been a lot worse! :lol:

Yeah, but when he gets older and he tells people his name is Blanket, when they go HUH? all he has to say is my dad is Michael Jackson, then no other explanation is needed!!:D

So I guess the Phoenix kids names - River, Leaf(who later went back to his real name, Joaquin), Summer, Rain & Liberty are rather tame compared to some of those on that list!!

Then there's George Foreman who simply just named all his sons George!!:crazy:

Yeah, Summer, Rain, and Liberty do sound pretty tame compared to a lot of the others. And you're absolutely right. When he tells people his name and they go, "Huh?!" all he has to do is tell them who his father is and they'll immediately understand and sympathize! :lol:

[Ireneparalegal]

I have always liked Cher's daughter's name, Chastity. Back when Cher's son was born, Elijah Blue, I thought, "How awful." Now, I don't think much of it. Elijah is a boy's name, many have that name. I realize Blue is not a common name at all, but when you say his full name, it really doesn't sound bad at all. So, back then what we thought were horrible names, are now tame compared to what is now out there.

[Chocolate Moose]

Dont' forget John Revolting, errr Travolta; whose son is Jett.

[PrettyinPink55]

Jermajesty!?!?! :lol: :lol: :lol:

[BarneyFife]

The worst one in my opinion is Wolfgang. :lol: I would of grown up hating my parents if they named me that.:lol:

[Ireneparalegal]

^^^They call him WOLFIE. :eek: Great name...at Halloween.

Was Paula Yates on drugs??

Was Paula Yates on drugs??

That's what killed her and it almost did the same thing to her daughter.

Peaches Geldof in Overdose Scare

Sir Bob Geldof's daughter Peaches has sparked fresh fears for her health following a suspected drug overdose on Sunday.

The 19-year-old was reportedly administered emergency CPR by a friend after she was found lying unconscious in her north London flat.

But she refused to go to the hospital for a medical examination, because she was terrified of her musician father finding out about the drug scare.

A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "Peaches could not breathe for several minutes after suffering a respiratory arrest.

"If she had not received this she could have died or she could have suffered brain damage. Peaches had gone into respiratory arrest, in which a patient's breathing stops but heart doesn't."

A spokesperson for London Ambulance confirms its crews attended the scene.

Earlier this year, the teenager hit the headlines after she was caught on tape reportedly buying drugs. She escaped police charges because of a lack of evidence.

Peaches Geldof's mother, British TV presenter Paula Yates, died of a heroin overdose in 2000. She was 41.

[Ireneparalegal]

Not only that but Paula Yates had a daughter with the late singer, Michael Hutchence of INXS. She never got over his death and was in a deep depression while battling over Michael's family over the daughter the two shared, TIGER LILY. Yep, that is her name.

Also, Paula had found out 6 months after the death of Micheal, that the man she thought was her father, was NOT. Another man was determined to be her natural father. Imagine the pain this woman must have endured? So sad. :rip:

[dawsongirl]

Now that you all say this, I think I remember reading about this woman.

[catlover79]

Jermajesty!?!?! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Yes, I knew about that. :eek: Jermaine also has another son named Jaffar. No, I'm not kidding!

[PrettyinPink55]

These all sound like names for pets not people!!! :lol:

[Lodee]

I wonder why Frank Zappa's kids didn't make the list. They have weird names.

[Hollow]

Fifi
haha. when i took a childcare course in high school we had to take simulation infants home to care for, and i wrote "feefee" on the fake birth certficate just for the lulz.

Chastity
i knew a lady by that name...doesn't seem weird to me.

Denim and Diezel.
gross, that kind of turned my stomach.

Moses
i knew a guy named moses in high school. a little strange, but eh...it's from the bible.

Wolfgang
that was mozart's first name (well actually it was johann but he went by wolfgang amadeus mozart). the guy could have been named after him, i suppose, having a musician as a parent.

Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.
isn't brooklyn a common name? romeo doesn't sound bad either, though maybe i'm just comparing it to some other names on this list.

Amber Rose
well, amber and rose are both common names.

i thought some of the names were pretty...though some sounded more fitting for shampoo bottles than people.

[phoebe7165]

I'm surprised nothing was mentioned about Rob Morrow. He named his daughter Tu, so she would be called Tu Morrow.:crazy:

Can you imagine when the teacher is calling roll?? "Tu Morrow, is Tu Morrow here today?":p

[Ireneparalegal]

I wonder why Frank Zappa's kids didn't make the list. They have weird names.
They are on the list. ;)

Nicole Richie named her daughter, Harlowe. I like that name.

[Lodee]

They did make it.
You and Irene are right! He is on the list. :crazy: Now how'd I miss that? :lol:

Irene, I like Harlowe too. It's just different enough without being weird.

[Zoneboy]

They are on the list. ;)

Beaten to the punch again. :lol:

[Zoneboy]

You and Irene are right! He is on the list. :crazy: Now how'd I miss that? :lol:

Don't give me any credit, She posted first.

[Ireneparalegal]

Great minds think alike Charles. ;)

[Lodee]

Don't give me any credit, She posted first.
Okay! Irene, they are on the list! How'd I miss that? :lol: :lol: :lol:

[phoebe7165]

No list of unusual celebrity baby names would be complete without a nod to the king of the dumb baby names. The late, great Frank Zappa and his wife Gail named their kids Moon Unit, Dweezil, Diva Muffin and Ahmet.

I just looked up Dweezil and the name that is registered at the hospital he was born is Ian Donald Calvin Euclid Zappa because the hospital refused to register the name Dweezil. Gee, you think??:D

[Shine]

I think they're all nuts!!! I don't understand why celebrities have to be so ridiculous when naming their children. How badly do they want their kids to be made fun of, anyway??? Jermajesty...Denim...Apple...??? Good Lord! And did Valerie Bertinelli and Eddie Van Halen think they were living on The Munsters or something when their son was born??? YIKES!!! :crazy:

Eddie and Valerie named their son after Mozart, who is Eddie's favorite classical composer and who's full name was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. :)

[phoebe7165]

The dude from Coldplay and that fat canker bitch from "Shallow Hal" gave their kid a name like Pumpkin or apple or something really stupid. Their other kid has a stupid name too like Moon or Star or something lmao. Oh and Michael Jackson!

OK, first of all, that "fat canker bitch" you're talking about is Gwyneth Paltrow, and I happen to like her. I don't think she's a fat bitch. Gwyneth and her husband Chris Martin have 2 kids, Apple & Moses.

They're already on that list of Zoneboy's 1st post.

[tv star collector]

Eddie and Valerie named their son after Mozart, who is Eddie's favorite classical composer and who's full name was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. :)

Thanks for the correction. I knew Mozart's first name was Wolfgang; wasn't
sure about the middle name.

[Ireneparalegal]

The dude from Coldplay and that fat canker bitch from "Shallow Hal" gave their kid a name like Pumpkin or apple or something really stupid. Their other kid has a stupid name too like Moon or Star or something lmao. Oh and Michael Jackson!
She is far from fat, she has no canker sores that I know of and I hardly think she is a b**ch. :lol:

Gwyneth and Michael Jackson are on the list that Zoneboy provided on the first page.

[Furienna]

Oh yeah, one more thing...I still can't get over Michael Jackson's son's name...BLANKET!!! :eek: That poor kid's going to be picked on sooooo badly. I feel so sorry for him.
Well, if his brother isn't around, why can't he call himself "Prince"? And it's not like he will go to a normal local school like almost everyone else, so I don't think there will be so many chances for other kids to pick on him. They also might start calling him something else soon, when he's getting older.

And considering how other celebrities give their kids weird name too, I think you should get off Michael's back! :mad:

[dawsongirl]

Not weird names exactly...but how about George Foreman naming all his sons George?? WTH??

[Ireneparalegal]

And considering how other celebrities give their kids weird name too, I think you should get off Michael's back! :mad:
Wow!

:crazy:

I will say Michael is no longer the person I grew up listening to and enjoying his talent. He is WEIRD AS THEY COME.

she isn't on anyone's back, just commenting his son's name; why don't you get off hers?

Man, are you mean!

[Furienna]

Wow!

You don't know him, and you have no right to say he's weirder than anyone else. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all!

I wasn't talking only to her.

You don't know him, and you have no right to say he's weirder than anyone else. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all!


I wasn't talking only to her.
It doesn't matter who you were talking to. This is a message board and I say Michael Jackson is weird. It is weird having little boys in his bed doing God knows what. He admitted that, he never denied it. I can say what I want abt him. And if anyone else says he is weird that is their feeling too. Don't take this personal. It is not towards you.

I agree, The fact that Michael Jackson is a weirdo has been discussed often on this board. Why all the backlash now?

[Furienna]

I love him, so I do take it personally. You could just as well have bashed my brother or my sister or a dear friend of mine on a message board. It's the same feeling for me. And I'm not taking crap about Michael from anybody. You don't know him, so shut the Hell up about him! The fact that he's famous doesn't make him fair game for any of the crap he's getting! He has feelings too. He's a human being too. And his two oldest kids are old enough now to surf the net and see what people write about his dad. How about showing some consideration?

Who are you to tell people to shut the hell up on this board? There was a time that I liked him as well but whether you want to admit or not, The man is indeed a weirdo and how you or anyone else can deny that is beyond me. I actually feel sorry for him but he brought it on himself.

[Furienna]

So if you do feel sorry for him, then why can't you understand that the last thing he needs is people bashing him? He needs love, not this hate. No matter how "weird" you think he is, he has done nothing to deserve all this crap! You people are acting just like those awful kids, who used to bully me in elementary school. They didn't have any synpathy for anyone and hurt people's feelings just for a short moment of "fun", and you're doing the same thing right now. But at least, they were kids. Maybe they didn't know better. But you should know better! You should act like mature adults you supposedly are and have some consideration for other people's feelings!

[Zoneboy]

No matter how "weird" you think he is, he has done nothing to deserve all this crap!

Sleeping with boys, Dangling his own child over a balcony, I rest my case.

[Furienna]

So what? None of that has hurt anybody. And it's not any of your business.

[Zoneboy]

I'm sorry, We've really gotten off-topic here and I didn't start this thread to bash Michael or anyone else.

[Furienna]

Fair enough. Let's stop this.

[JT]

Half of the names on this list are perfectly fine. They're unique and memorable and to be honest, I think the people who care so much about these things are the ones with the problem.

And I'm not taking crap about Michael from anybody. You don't know him, so shut the Hell up about him! The fact that he's famous doesn't make him fair game for any of the crap he's getting! He has feelings too. He's a human being too. And his two oldest kids are old enough now to surf the net and see what people write about his dad. How about showing some consideration?
Um...excuse me...I just now got back to this thread and to say the least, I'm a little shocked. For all the people who spoke on my behalf in my defense, let me say a big "Thank you!" That was very sweet and thoughtful of all of you. And to you, Furienna, I did NOT mean that post like I was trying to "attack" Michael Jackson personally. I was doing what a message board is supposed to be for...stating your own personal opinion, and it happens to be my own opinion that for Michael Jackson, along with any person whether they are a celebrity or not, to stick their child with a name like Blanket or Denim or Apple or Jermajesty or whatever that is bound to make their child a subject of ridicule, whether in the classroom or just out in the world in life, is a cruel thing for a person to do. I wasn't trying to "single out" Michael or anything. We were on the subject of weird names celebrities give their children and the name "Blanket" for Michael Jackson's son just happened to come to my mind so I brought it up in the discussion, and it happens to be my own personal opinion that naming your child "Blanket" is an outrageous thing for a person to do, I don't care if that person is Michael Jackson or just the average Joe Smith down the street.

Funny...you get on my case for "attacking" Michael but yet you attack me for merely stating my opinion. Like I said, that's what message boards are supposed to be for...discussion of our own opinions. Did you honestly believe, since we were on the subject of strange names of celebrities' kids, that Michael Jackson and Blanket WOULDN'T come up??? And for the record, again, you seem to think I've singled Michael out...I also stated that I thought it was strange giving a child a name like Wolfgang and I said that I hoped that Isabel Sanford's son didn't have the same first and last name like I've seen it written in a couple of Internet articles, and she's my favorite actress for Pete's sake! You are blowing this absolutely out of proportion, and a lot of people have said a whole lot worse about Michael besides what I've said, which is the truth: that it's a shame his kid has to go through his life with a name like Blanket and that anybody who would give a kid a name like that is nuts. Whether Michael Jackson does it or any other celebrity or just a regular person, in my own opinion, sticking your kid with a name like Blanket is a cruel and insane thing to do. End of story. Chill out!

thank you...i wanted to say all that but i didn't want to seem like i was trying to get too involved. if there isn't already, there needs to be a rule here against backseat moderating.

And his two oldest kids are old enough now to surf the net and see what people write about his dad. How about showing some consideration?
i think that ****ty emo/pop-punk bands such as fall out boy, paramore, and panic!!!11one at the disco all suck major ****. none of those ******* have an ounce of talent and are nothing but horrible, amateur vocalists breaking every rule of proper singing technique while they sing childish lyrics with irritating, musically unstylistic guitar motives in the background. the ****ass from fall out boy is the worst vocalist ever. i don't understand how anyone enjoys listening to vocalists using horrible diction and breath control, GASPING for air between every line. he's clearly never had a singing lesson in his life and it's a disgrace to us trained singers. as far as lyrics, the girl from paramore is the worst. i can't listen to them without cringing because her immature lyrics make me feel so embarrassed for her. if i were her, i'd just kill myself out of shame for releasing such garbage to the public.

i can say whatever i want. people in authority here have stated things that they don't like about celebrities plenty of times. there's no rule against it.

LoveMrsG, I really wasn't attacking you. I wasn't even attacking anybody on these boards in particular. I was just defending Michael Jackson, because I love him. I wish you can understand that. Because this isn't just about people thinking "Blanket" is a weird name. It's about they saying mean things like "Michael Jackson is his father, that explains it all".

And about Blanket, "Blanket" is not his real name. His real name is Prince II. But since his older brother is Prince I, I guess they had to be give him some nickname to tell them apart. The boys are named after their great grand- father and their great great grandfather, but I still don't know why Michael gave both his sons the same name. But I think Blanket will get another nickname when he's older.

If this was your brother or sister, you'd have a case, but it isn't, so you don't. This is a message board where members are allowed to give their opinions. Fans of celebs being bashed don't have the right to tell others to stop.

Now this ends this part of the discussion. No clapping or agreeing with me. The person has been warned, and it ends here. In fact, I would have appreciated this issue being reported sooner, as opppsed to members playing moderator.

[.:BF:.]

Oh yeah, one more thing...I still can't get over Michael Jackson's son's name...BLANKET!!! :eek: That poor kid's going to be picked on sooooo badly. I feel so sorry for him.

Hmm... I wonder why Michael Jackson would name his "little boy" Blanket? :grrbald:

[Furienna]

Again, it's not his name. His name is Prince.

Someone please explain to me why these names are dumb...These aren't even names that would solicit teasing or the such. They'd get questions and maybe even compliments, but would there be much teasing for a person named Nico? Or Luna? Or Jaz, or Heaven, or Ellery?

And instead of looking down on people for giving their children unique names (names that could be legally changed at any time), why won't people look down on those who tease someone because of what their parents named them?
