Wednesday's Random Poll



Earlier this week the news broke that Nicholas Cage and his wife welcomed home a new baby boy. The babies name? Kal-el Coppola Cage. That's right folks, Kal-el... as in Superman's name. Which brings me to today's random poll. Are celebrities just getting out of hand with the names they are choosing for their famous offspring? I compiled a list of unusual names given children by their famous folks:


Victoria Adams/David Beckham: Brooklyn
Woody Allen/Soon-Yi Previn: Bechet Dumaine, Manzie Tio
Forest Whitaker: Ocean, Sonnet, True
Gillian Anderson/Clyde Klotz: Piper Maru
Erykah Badu/Andre 3000: 7 (Seven)
Robby Benson/Karla DeVito: Zephyr, Lyric
Marisa Berenson: Starlite
Bruce Willis/Demi Moore: Rumer Glenn, Scout LaRue, Tallulah Belle
Bjork: Sindri
Donald Sutherland: Roeg, Rossif
David Byrne: Malu
David Carradine/Barbara Hershey: Free (he changed it to Tom)
Mia Farrow: Lark Song, Summer Song
Jerry Garcia/Manasha Matheson: Keelin
Bob Geldof/Paula Yates: Fifi Trixiebelle, Peaches Honeyblossom, Little Pixie
Michael Hutchence/Paula Yates: Heavenly Hiraani Tigerlily
Geena Davis: Kian, Kaiis

So, what are y'alls thoughts?

  • Celebrities have definitely gotten out of hand with their baby naming... they need to tone it down!
  • These are their kids, they can name them whatever the heck they want, for crying out loud!!

Please, do vote.

    I think they can name them whatever they want, BUT, Celebrities have definitely gotten out of hand with their baby naming... they need to tone it down!

    Piper, is fine, but the rest, please. What do they think they are doing to their kids but choosing names like this. By the time you are old enough to change your name, the damage has been done. CHILL OUT CELEBIES, they are kids, not poodles, lay off the pot and pick a decent name (but Piper is ok, seriously).

    yes, yes... i concure... Piper is cute and adorable, whether it be a name for a child OR a pet... the others range somewhere between 'i little odd' and 'WTF were they thinking?!?'
