"Both [Petal] and Jools are doing well. The Olivers would like to thank midwives Linda Ordish and Elaine Porter and also obstetrician William Dennis for their wonderful help and support," a rep for the celebrity chef said in a statement. "Jamie and Jools are both completely smitten with Petal already, and Jamie is looking forward to two weeks paternity leave to spend quality time with his four beautiful girls."

Just two days ago Jamie was busy cooking for President Obama and numerous world leaders at the G20 summit in London.

Wow, it's hard to believe they could be that cruel to their own children! I don't think celebrities think this through and realize that these kids are going to have to live with these names for a lifetime.

If celebrities must breed, they should not be allowed to choose the baby names!!

(With some exceptions - all Charlie Sheen's kids have normal names - Cassandra, Sam, Lola, Bob and Max, for example.)

I agree!! Most celebrities shouldn't be allowed to pick baby names. We don't need any more Dweezils, Moon Units, or Kal-Els!

Daisy isn't a bad name. But Poppy and Petal are goofy names.

After a few diapers, they can change them to Poopy and Stinky cuz that's about as stupid as what they are now.

Good grief they are getting worse!!

i think its basically become a contest in Hollywood now, who can pick the most unusual name.

Yeah, at the expense of the poor kid.

The Bee Gees all gave their kids nice names. Well, I think they're nice names.

Barry Gibb has five children - four boys and a girl. His daughter is named Alexandra (Ali for short) and his sons are named Stephen, Ashley, Travis and Michael (Ashley is predominantly a male name in the UK where the Bee Gees are from.)

Robin's children are named Spencer, Melissa and Robin-John.

Maurice's children are named Adam and Samantha.

I like the names of John Lennon's sons (Julian and Sean.) Julian is one of my favourite names.

Not all celebrities give their children unusual names. Quite a lot stick to traditional ones.

In defence of the more unusual names, though, I have to say that I like some of them. You've probably all heard of the actor River Phoenix who died in 1993 at the age of 23? (Joaquin Phoenix is his younger brother.) Well, River's parents were hippies and they gave most of their children "nature" names which I think are lovely. River was of course named River (River Jude), his brother is called Joaquin (but was nicknamed Leaf as a child) and his sisters are called Rain, Liberty and Summer.

Those are lovely names. Especially River. I love the name River Phoenix. It sounds so fresh and pretty.

Say WHAT?? Poor kid...

The Bee Gees gave their kids good names, though.

I think River Phoenix is a lovely name. His parents weren't famous though. Although their son would be.

MonarC · 04-04-2009, 12:44 PM

I guess some people are tired of the same old names. Maybe they are just trying to help their child stand out with an unusual name. Poor kids.
