Silly Celebrity Baby Names

A List of The Most Stupidly Named Kids in Hollywood!

by Andrea Francese

Whether it was for the sake of a good joke, a desire to force certain careers or simply an ego issue, celebrities have picked some wild names for their wee-ones.

Celebrities are everywhere these days and it seems like they are constantly pregnant. Jennifer Lopez and Mark Anthony just welcomed their twins into the world. Nicole Richie delivered a baby girl recently and Christina Aguilera became a first time mum as well. While celebrities are enjoying fertility galore it appears they have forgotten an important part of the equation, giving their child a solid name. But the current patch of new celebrity parents can’t be blamed entirely for bad names; it has been a trend in Tinsletown for some time now.

Those celebs are a talented bunch and no one can accuse them of being too uptight. Just look at some of the names they conjured up...

In the 1970’s, David Bowie had a funny idea. He thought it would be a great idea to name his son Zowie, Zowie Bowie (okay in all fairness Bowie’s real surname is Jones) but the giggles still came. Zowie, an advertising exec, eventually changed his name to Duncan.

Jason Lee also has a fine sense of humor. In 2003 he and his fiancé settled on Pilot Inspektor Riesgraf-Lee for their son. It’s all fun and games on the birth certificate but what happens when Pilot actually grows up?

In 2005 Penn Jillette took his act off stage and decided to charm his new baby girl with a comical name. He is the proud papa to Moxie Crimefighter, because who is going to know her middle name anyway?

It is hard being raised in Hollywood. Children can lose sight of their goals and turn into train wrecks at the first sound of free flowing martinis. Some celebs have taken matters into their own hands and have worked hard to ensure success (or lack thereof) is instilled early.
