Richard Gere: Named his baby
Homer. Is there anyone out there that doesn’t think of the
balding, yellow
cartoon character
whenever this name is mentioned?
Juliette Binoche:
Named her baby
Raphael.
The name itself is fine, but for the children of the eighties and early
nineties, will always conjure up a picture of one of the
Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles.
David Bowie: Named his child
Zowie. Understandably, the child later changed his name to Joey.
Mia Farrow & Woody Allen:
Named their child
Satchel.
Isn’t that something you sling over your shoulder and take to school with
you?
Bob Geldof
& Paula Yates: This couple managed to come up with the most bizarre names, time and time again. They named their three children
Fifi Trixibelle,
Peaches Honeyblossom and
Little Pixie. Paula later had a child with Australian rocker, Michael Hutchence,
and named her
Heavenly Hiraani Tigerlily.
These names seem far more suited to a
family pet
than to children who have to grow up and use the names in daily life.
Hopefully, none of these kids will decide to pursue a career as a
stockbroker or politician – otherwise a change of name might be called for!
Sylvester Stallone & Sasha Czack: Named their baby
Sage Moonblood. The first part is fine, but the ‘Moonblood’ part is a little
strange...
Frank Zappa:
Named one of his children
Moon Unit, and the other
Dweezil.
