NAMING THE CELEBRITY BABY


I was recently flipping through the pages of US Weekly and saw all the interesting and uncommon names of celebrity babies. Are they searching for a name that will set them apart from everyone else? Are they looking for a name that the child would own like Cher or Oprah? I wondered if the average non-celebrity, like myself, could get away with naming their child "Peanut" or "Apple" and the rest of America think it was cool and cute. Could only those that shared in the limelight pull this off? I was watching Tyra a couple of months ago, the show was, "What's in a Name?" It was all about the stereotypes people attach to a name. The kind of person that immediately pops into your head when you hear just their first name? It really made me think long and hard about naming my little one. Would they be discriminated against when they turned in their resume, solely because of their name? What do you think? What is your child's name or what are you naming your child? Is it completely creative and eccentric or totally traditional? Here's a list of just a few out of the ordinary celebrity baby names:
1. Peanut Kai Rademacher (General Hospital actor Ingo Rademacher and finace, Ehiku)
2. Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline (Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt)
3. Sunday Rose Kidman Urban (Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban)
4. Kadence Clover Hawk (Tony Hawk and wife, Lhotse)
5. Rio Atticus Dumont (No Doubt guitarist Tom Dumont and wife, Mieke)
6. Honor Marie Warren (Jessica Alba and Cash Warren)
7. Jagger Donovan Rooney (Rascal Flatts singer/guitarist Joe Don Rooney and Tiffany Fallon)
8. Ignatius Martin Upton (Cate Blanchett and Andrew Upton)
