or other oddball baby names.
distinctive names can spur teasing and mist.reatment
it could have long-term effect on the child.


and here i thought how much worse can it get than Starbux or Version2.0?

well, even naming your child after your favorite appliance doesnt compare to this:
Moxie Crimefighter
Pilot Inspektor

or naming them after cars.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

There's Beyonce and Jay Z's Blue Ivy, Penn Jillette's son, Moxie Crimefighter, Bono's daughter Memphis Eve, actor Jason Lee's son Pilot Inspektor, and the list goes on and on.

What's even worse is that Moxie Crimefighter is Penn's daughter, not son.

 

[Rumpltzer]

The future generation of strippers aren't going to name themselves! They need prodding.

Celebrities are fucking weird. At least they're not naming their daughters morgasm and their sons sausage gravy.

And this little nugget from Freakonomics:

The California data establish just how dissimilarly black and white parents have named their children over the past 25 years or so—a remnant, it seems, of the Black Power movement. The typical baby girl born in a black neighborhood in 1970 was given a name that was twice as common among blacks than whites. By 1980, she received a name that was 20 times more common among blacks. (Boys' names moved in the same direction but less aggressively—likely because parents of all races are less adventurous with boys' names than girls'.) Today, more than 40 percent of the black girls born in California in a given year receive a name that not one of the roughly 100,000 baby white girls received that year. Even more remarkably, nearly 30 percent of the black girls are given a name that is unique among every baby, white and black, born that year in California. (There were also 228 babies named Unique during the 1990s alone, and one each of Uneek, Uneque, and Uneqqee; virtually all of them were black.)

And this little nugget from Freakonomics:

They said that had something to do with economics among poor people and them wanting to name their kids something 'unique' so they would stand out and become stars. The reverse they said happened, kids with those weird names committed crimes more so I wonder if that holds true for these whack job names of the star's kids.

i hoped it was his daughter.

Moxxi is famous and is one of the favs in cosplay:

 

[T_Yamamoto]

theres a pornstar named siri

 

[Printer Bandit]

what about suri?

 

[natto fire]

LOL, am I really supposed to feel sorry for silver spooners because of their name? And any parent that is so far up Apple's ass that they would even contemplate naming their child Siri is going to be a bad parent regardless of if they actually go through with it.

Some people are just dumb

 

[PottedMeat]

this dude turned out pretty normal:

Zowie Bowie

 

[bigrash]

I'm gonna name my kid president.

 

[amdhunter]

I'm naming my kid Atot.

 

[Imp]

Was it Sarah palin's former son-in-law (or whatever the hell you call someone who knocked up your daughter accidentally and never got married -- daughter's baby daddy) that named his kid Colt?

 

[Farang]

Weird names for celebrity kids actually makes a lot of sense. It basically says 'You don't need to give a fuck about anything because you're born rich and can be famous if you want'

 

[Stifko]

what about suri?

I dated a chick named Suri. She was very easy on the eyes but her personality was not so hot.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Would be a funny name for a kid especially if you train her to talk like a robot. She would need to have a really sexy voice and be good at memorizing phone numbers.

 

[Iron Woode]

my ex-gf's name is Angie Dust.

guess what her birth certificate says

Phencyclidine?

Phencyclidine?

LOL

:awe:

 

[SparkyJJO]

Obviously you don't want to name your kid Siri otherwise apple will sue you for eleventy billion dollars.

 

[PieIsAwesome]

Siri sounds like a nice name I think. Unfortunately its been hijacked by Apple for the time being.

 

[Chapbass]

A friend of mines g/f is named Siri (shes in her late-20's), and shes not a big apple fan at all. I feel really bad for her, because now everywhere she goes its like "oh, like the apple girl?" "yes...like the apple girl...."
