Your list title nailed it; we really do have Frank Zappa to blame for the awful baby-name craze. Remember when people made fun of the names Moon Unit and Dweezil?
In the movie "Baby Mama," you overhear a mother in the park calling to her kid named Wing Span.
In other news, Cate Blanchett just gave birth to her third son and named him Ignatius.
From Overheard In New York:
Angry woman to friend: I have a contention with the way people pronounce my daughter's name. I did not name my daughter 'Lady Nasty'! I named my baby girl 'La Dynasty.'
Hee!
Lourdes Maria.
Oh my lord, Jermajesty. That name just sends me (and my entire family, if we happen to be talking about cuckoopants celebrities and I bring it up) into hysterics.
Oh, P.S.: Jamie Oliver (father of Daisy Boo)'s other daughter is called Poppy Honey.
And speaking of Poppy -- the first two names of actress Poppy Montgomery are "Poppy Petal," her four sisters are Lily Belle, Rosie Thorn, Marigold Sun, and Daisy Yellow, and her brother is named Jethro Tull. No kidding: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0599889/bio! Lily Belle totally won the name lottery in that family.
Glad to see Jermajesty (Jackson) already on this list, along with other favorites.
Surprising Apple (Gwen Paltro's daughter) didn't make your list, although I LIKE that name for a girl, people considered it shocking that she used it.
Is this list restricted to celebs only, cuz there's a guy that named himself: TroutFishingInAmerica. Worst name EVER!
Shanda Lear
William (Bill) Powell Lear (26 June 1902 – 14 May 1978) was an American inventor and businessman. He is best known for founding the Lear Jet Corporation, a manufacturer of business jets. Bill Lear and his fourth wife, Moya, had four children: John, Shanda, David and Tina.
Still, sionnach, you must admit that Usnavy is a snazzy name. ;->
Trivet, I was just coming here to post that article! :-) The accompanying blog posts list lots of odd names, too.
It would never happen in Venezuela: Ni Hitler ni Superman
Some of these names made it into this article in the NY Times today.
How did I miss some of these! Audio Science and God'iss Love are my favourites. Marvellous!
This list makes me love my parents even more.
If I had to guess, I'd think everything but the baby.
I saw the first two of these names on the Wordie front page (actually the last two on the list, but first added), and thought "Oh, sionnach's up to his old madeupical tricks again! That sionnach! What a card!" and then I realized he wasn't kidding.
Reprehensible celebrity baby names, you describe. Is it the celebrity or the baby or the names that are reprehensible?
I have a shameful confession--I kind of like the name Fifi-Trixibelle.
But not for a human.
