Why Do Celebrity Pets Get Normal Names While Their Kids Get Ridonculous Ones?

Jessica Simpson

It’s a big day for maltipoos in the news. For Heidi Montag‘s 23rd birthday, Spencer got her a nine-week-old maltipoo pup, who they named Dolly after Ms. Parton. In sadder news, Jessica Simpson‘s sweet maltipoo, Daisy, was snatched by a coyote. She’s offering a reward for the return of the five-year-old doggie, but, like, last time we checked, coyotes don’t snatch dogs to keep them as pets.  [People]

Dolly? Daisy? This has me thinking—why do celebrities pick such reasonable names for their pets when they choose completely insane ones for their kids? Here’s a look at some of the worst offenders.

For Brad and Angelina, isn’t it Knox, not Know?  (I’m kind of ashamed that I know that)

Just a typo—my fault. Fixing now.

Some of these pet names are just as ridiculous if not more so.

Lest we forget Gwyneth’s Pet-project and brain-Child: Goop.

@lea322: so, what are their pets’ names. ‘Cause there could be a whole post on just the crazy celeb kid names alone. [was there one already?] Think Courtney Cox/Coco, Julia Roberts/Phinneas and Hazel, et al…

@lea322: like that’s never happened before! haha, Anyway, those are some good names, shameful and shameless. Much like George Forman who named all 4± of his son’s: George Forman.

Ok. Bluebell Madonna and Kalel are just ridiculous. But I like the Jolie-Pitts name choices. Unique and beautiful I think.

If I were a celebrity, I would name my son X94PT and my daughter S3D2-1.  Still better than Apple.
