Celebrity Chatter: Weird Baby Name Game Continues
Julia Roberts Joins Other Celebrities Who Choose Kooky Kids' Names
Not that there's anything wrong with that, but Hazel Patricia and Phinnaeus Walter Moder can exchange notes on parental naming with the likes of Apple Martin (Gwyenth Paltrow and Chris Martin's baby girl), Caspar and Clementine Vaughn, (children of Claudia Schiffer and Matthew Vaughn), and the two Prince Michael Jacksons (the second Prince Michael's nickname is Blanket and you know who their dad is.). Their cousin's name is Jermajesty (he's the son of Jermaine Jackson.)Then there are Fifi Trixiebelle, Peaches Honeyblossom, and Little Pixie, daughters of rocker Bob Geldof and Paula Yates. Model Christie Brinkley has a daughter, Saylor Lee, with husband Peter Cook.Like many parents, children's names sometimes recall special occasions. Like Sean Penn and Robin Wright's son who is named Hopper, allegedly because Penn was working on a film at the time with Dennis Hopper. Hopper has a sister named, Dylan, by the way.
But who knows why Bruce Willis and Demi Moore named their children Rumer, Scout and Tallulah Belle?I must say that the man who started it all, in my opinion, was Frank Zappa who named his children Moon Unit, Diva, Dweezil and Ahmet Emuukha Rodan. And speaking of musicians, Cher and Sonny Bono broke the mold with daughter, Chastity's name and Cher's son with musician Greg Allman was also the unforgettable Elijah Blue.Sports figures are also not exempt from the baby name game. Remember fighter George Foreman, who named his kids George Jr., George II, and George III?I'm just grateful that my mother didn't decide to name me after her and her mother. What kind of name would Mabel be in the 21st century? Although it did become fashionable after sitcom parents Paul and Jamie Buchman named their daughter, Mabel, in "Mad About You."It got me thinking. If I were to have a daughter or son, I'd love to name them Chatter.Speaking of babies, the Material Girl Madonna has been dropping hints that she may want baby No. 3 to join sister, Lourdes, 8, and brother, Rocco, who is now three.Even though Madonna is 46, she continues to be in tip-top shape.A physician I spoke to said that there could be some risk factors for Madge because of her age, but because she's had two healthy children and maintains an active lifestyle, she should be OK.It was People magazine that asked the diva about more kids."I'm going to have fun with my husband and see what happens," according to the publication.Top Hairstyle Of All Time
