Celebrities are well-known for gracing their babies with highly unusual and potentially embarrassing names. According to the New York Times, "If celebrities are the new American aristocracy, the exotic baby name can sometimes function as the equivalent of a royal title, a way for a privileged caste to bestow the power of its legacy on future generations."
You've probably wondered how our American aristocracy dreams up such memorable monikers as Pilot Inspektor or Moxie Crimefighter - but wonder no more! The Celebrity Baby Names book is now available to the masses. No longer must you name your baby with such common, downright proletariat names such as Steven or Ashley. Give your babies titles of royalty! Glistening Reptile or Cerulean Cosmonaut are names you can be proud of as you bestow your legacy of power upon future generations.
Now, you might look at the list and think all the names it contains are fictitious. Au contraire - several of them are real. Here are the ones I recognized right off the bat:
How could the artist omit Jermajesty Jackson?!!! (Son of Jermaine. Nephew of Michael.) That's my all-time favorite celebrity baby name. :o)Here's who each highlighted kid belongs to:
Blanket - Michael Jackson
Moses - Gwyneth Paltrow & Chris Martin
Audio Science - Shannyn Sossamon (she was in A Knight's Tale and... that's about it.)
Sunday - Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban
Peaches - Bob Geldof
Brooklyn - The Beckhams
Knox Leon - Angelina & Brad (Der.)
Sage Moonblood - Sly Stallone
Apple - Gwynnie & Chris (Again)
Tu Morrow - Rob Morrow (Poor kid - that's just wrong.)
Barron - Donald Trump
Suri - TomKat (Again... der.)
Pilot Inspektor - Jason Lee (a.k.a. NBC's Earl)
Moxie Crimefighter - Penn Jillette
Dweezil - Frank Zappa
I'm sure there are a few I missed... feel free to let me know which ones!
