What is the deal with celebrities and other famous people naming their babies crazy names?

I thought Apple was a little weird, but then I watched a show on VH1 and there was really a kid named Banjo, and another named Pilot Inspektor (spelled like that). Theres was alot weirder names too.

I saw that show! It was Jason Lee that named his kid Pilot Inspektor right?





I think if the name has a meaning, like the maybe the mother's maiden name than it's cool. I think Tom Cruise's baby's name is cute, Suri. It's supposed to mean Princess but i forget which language it is.
Reply:Honest answer here. If you think about it, the majority of celebs out ther have lived thier whole lives striving for attention. Actually it is necessary for thier carreers that they do so.Therefore in order for them to gain ever-going attention, they name thier kids attention getting names. Its really more for THEM than the kids though. It is simply in thier nature to do this! What gets me is that after they do, they are always having to shield thier kids from the media and complain constantly of thier lack of privacy. The celebs don't always use the best judgement but as I said before, its in thier nature and all they know. Thanks, J
Reply:I watched that too! omg adio science or something...crazy, huh? They just want to be different, but their kids are going to be picked on...
Reply:i know, but Apple??!??! i agree with the " my baby is special and I want to be a trendsetter" . mine are violet,winter and crystal, middle name ? rose. But to be wierd?? that is just odd!
Reply:they have money they dont care whos life they ruin (u know how cruel kids r) and beside they can always change it when they get older
Reply:This one model named her son 'speck'. What the hell is that?!
Reply:LOl, how about Moxie crimefighter...it is the name Penn(of Penn and Teller) gave his daughter! I think they do it to get attention...it is kind of expected for them to use wierd names. Poor lil kids though!
Reply:They aren't the only ones doing it, they just get national attention. I've run across some strange ones over the years locally.
Reply:They want their kid to be known, so they give them werid names to get people's attention.
Reply:Parents want their kids to stand out from the crowd and be recognized. An easy to remember name is golden, and the odd ball names are the ones people remember.





I do feel sorry for their children when they go to school. I can hear the bullies now....shudder.





Silly parents...offbeat, odd names are for adults not for children.
Reply:Maybe they think the other names are too common and feel like starting some weird baby names trend
Reply:I think it makes them feel witty.
Reply:I NO RIGHT???!!? i ask myself this everytym a celebrity gets pregnant, " What crazy name will (Celebrity's name here) name her baby this time?" I mean wat is up wit these names that CELEBRITYS name their children??? apple,sean preston, SUTTON PIERCE!!??? i mean u would think bc theyre rich and famous they would name them sumthin simple or at least a good unweird name like steven or taylor or melissa or sumthin like that but they pik names no1s ever heard of b4!!! i seriously dnt get it. o well, maybe they want UNIQUE names for their babys. (IN THEIR CASE, UNIQUE MEANS "WEIRD" TO THEM)
Reply:Because they are rich people of course, if they were middle class like everybody around, they wouldn't call the kids like that because they would feel embarrased, but they have the money so they don't care and that's what they want us to know
Reply:I think it started years ago with Frank Zappa (Moon Zappa), but I don't think celebrities corner the market on strange names- I've a grandson named Zaypher and one on the way whose moniker will be Lagian. My other daughter is having a little girl whose name will be Rhiannon Lillianna!
Reply:Yeah


I saw that


But I think it's kind of cool.


To have a name that no one else has.


but that's my own personal opinion
Reply:i think those names are fake just to throw us off, especially when those children are in school, hospital etc.
