Every year, celebrity baby name website Nameberry.com declares the hottest baby names of that year. The list is based on an analysis of the most searched names, particularly those which saw a strong and sudden increase over the last six months. This year, Nameberry says, the list was “driven by unexpected celebrities, rediscovered classics, and the year’s most compelling events.” So, which names made the list? Let’s find out. Keep reading »
I could read about, talk about and dream about baby names all day long. Some people might call me obsessed. I truly get upset each time I hear a bad name… a bad name in my opinion, at least. Too trendy, spelled too ”Kreatively,” or a given name that sounds plain horrible when paired with the child’s family name, are the kind of naming no-nos that really tick me off. I’d share examples of my least favorite baby names but those friends will eventually read this…
But when it comes to awesomely horrendous names bestowed on the babes of celebrities, I just don’t care. None of us should, really. I’m convinced that most of them do it for publicity, which is all sorts of wrong. The others, like Shannyn Sossaman who named her baby Audio Science, are probably nuts. And who am I to judge the decisions of crazy people? Keep reading »
Is there an unwritten rule that celebutards are required to name their babies something completely outrageous and idiotic? The kiddos will get enough flack for having a famous mommy and daddy, so topping it off with a stupid name is just cruel and unnecessary.
It was recently revealed that Mariah Carey and her toothpick-sized husby Nick Cannon named their newborn twins Monroe (semi-normal) and Moroccan (WTF!?), named after a room in their palatial residence. That’s just disgusting. But is it the worst Hollywood baby name? You be the judge. Click here to vote! Keep reading »
Until I was about 14 years old, I had never met another Olivia. It wasn’t necessarily a source of pride until Google came into existence and I absolutely crushed the only other Olivia Allin in the world in terms of search results. Poor girl never had a chance. But then came Olivia Wilde. And Olivia Munn. And now that Olivia is the most popular girl’s name of 2010, the magic is gone. Even Dawson James Van Der Beek named his daughter Olivia! This psychological warfare has done a number on me and I will maybe forever hold a wrath-filled grudge against my procreating peers. Keep reading »
“My dad’s name is James, and my brother’s name is Jason. [Carey and I] are both Irish, Carey’s middle name is Jason, [and] Jameson — we like whiskey. That’s a no brainer.”
– Pink explains why she and husband Carey Hart would name a baby boy “Jameson.” Only one problem — her doc thinks she’s expecting a girl. Jamesina? Jamesonetta? Stop me. [People] Keep reading »
What’s in a name? A lot, actually. Naming your kid is one of the hardest parts of starting a family, fraught with arguments, opinions and bad choices. You need to make sure your child’s name is something unique but not too weird, easily rolls off the tongue, and most importantly, totally reflects the kind of parents you are. Here’s a handy guide to what various children’s names usually say about the parents who chose them. Keep reading »
Nahla Ariela and Shiloh Nouvel are certainly unique baby names (ain’t nothin’ wrong with that!), but celebrities, in their quest to be obnoxiously “different” often give truly bizarre names to their kids — ones that are sure to get them beat up in 5th grade. The Times U.K. put together a list of the 50 weirdest last year, some of which we agreed with and some that we, well, thought were darn cute. Our picks for the Top Ten Worst, plus five weird celebrity baby names we actually think are cute, all after the jump…
