This is (obviously) inspired by Sal's thread of the dumbest names that celebrities have given to their babies. (Nice thread. :) )

But many have given their children perfectly nice names, so I thought I'd list some.

To start off...

John Lennon:

Julian Lennon (full name John Charles Julian Lennon), born 8th April 1963. Julian is one of my favourite names.

Sean Lennon (born 9th October 1975.)

Then there's the Bee Gees.

Barry Gibb has five children:

Steven Gibb
Ashley Gibb (male)
Travis Gibb
Michael Gibb
Alexandra (Ali) Gibb

Robin Gibb has three:

Spencer Gibb
Melissa Gibb
Robin John Gibb

Maurice Gibb had two:

Adam Gibb
Samantha Gibb

I like all of those names.

Ashley Gibb (male)

I never have liked names that were more girl names than boy names given to boys. But you're right, at least it's normal.

On the current celeb front, I'll give props to Britney Spears...Sean Preston is NORMAL. I was actually surprised.

I absolutely love Rachel Griffith's daughter's name, Adelaide. That's a beautiful old English name.

Unfortunately she named her son Banjo. :rolleyes:

I like that name too. I'm glad she gave that name to her baby. It's a nice sounding name. :)

Nancy McKeon named her daughter Aurora. It reminds me of a princess and I think it's such a pretty name :) (And I'm not just sayin that:D)

I think Britney Spears babys name is sensible: Sean Preston.

I did not know this. :)

In my junior year of high school there was a girl named Aurora in my math class. She wasn't exactly a princess though.:lol:

Barry Gibb is from England, where the name Ashley is more of a boy's name than a girl's name. I gather the opposite is true in America, though.

I grew up being used to it being for a boy, and was surprised when I first came across a girl called Ashley. Now I think it suits both well.
