What’s in a name? A child by any other name would perhaps…just be silly!
When I was pregnant with my first, and we thought she was a boy, my father came up with a name for him that would have necessitated psychological counceling. Are you ready? Horace Morris. Yes, he would have been Horace Morris Tabares.
No! We didn’t name our son Horace Morris (Dad was kidding), but there are some celebs who have named their children things that sound equally as ridiculous:
Jermaine Jackson named his dd Jermajesty. Penn of Penn & Teller named his child Moxie Crimefighter. The one and only Frank Zappa named his children: Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet and Diva Thin Muffin (My personal favorite.).
Forest Whitaker’s SON’s name is Ocean. Sylvester Stallone’s dd is Sage Moonblood. Jason Lee’s son is called Pilot Inspektor and Nicolas Cage’s son is Kal-El. (I think Nick had been watching too many Superman movies.)
Then there are other folks who named their children: Tu Morrow, Fifi Trixibelle, Audio Science, Crystal Blue Persuasion, Seagrim 7, O’rangejello (I guess he liked Orange Jello!) and Repeter! (Repeter would, of course, be Peter’s son whom they didn’t want to name Peter Jr.)
But the one that takes the cake for me is Tea Leoni and David Duchovny who named their kid, Kyd! Now THAT’S original!
Got any you’d like to share? Post a comment. And remember, to name a child something silly is a “Terra Bell” thing!
