Poll question: Which celebrity baby name is the worst?
Personally, I don't think Apple is that bad. Especially in comparison to Tu Morrow and Audio Science.

3. I actually sorta like Jermajesty.
It shows some imagination. I would not name my child that, but I like it anyway.

4. Voted Reignbeau...
Bad punny spelling for a bad hippie name. That's bad squared.

5. Jermagesty is sheer arrogance. The kid isn't royalty, for goodness sakes.
If I were to try to get that kid's attention, I'd probably just say "Hey, you!" :-)

8. Gee, no votes for Michael J's two sons named "Prince?"
Any wonder the kids of these celebs so often ended up totally screwed up?

10. I thought one was Prince, the other was Blanket
They probably didn't need stupid names to make their lives difficult, though.

11. He regretted naming the second one the same as the first.
That's why he tried to kill it.

9. "Apple"
:eyes:

Only because I hoped for so much better from Gwyneth. Then again, her mother DID name her "Gwyneth".

And her grandmother named HER daughter "Blythe".

So maybe it's genetic in the Paltrow/Danner family.

33. What really makes this tragic
is that her last name is Martin - so it sounds like an Apple Martini.

13. I've got to go with Zappa's kids-Moon Unit and Dweezil
Dweezil-where did he think this up? Did Moon Unit say "Pop goes dweezil" instead of "the weasel"?

20. "Dweezil" was the nickname for Gayle's toe
They wanted to name "Dweezil" "Dweezil", but the lady at the hospital wouldn't let them (Christian hospital, don't ya know), so Zappa gave the baby the first names of all the Mothers band members. When "Dweezil" was older, he, on his own initiative, had his name legally changed to "Dweezil" (since they always called him by that name, and he was mad to find out it wasn't his real name). And when I say "on his own initiative", that means he requested the change on his own - he was only four or five, so of course had to have the parent's help. I don't think the Dweez had a lawyer on retainer until he was in his teens or twenties. :-)

I love the name Moon Unit,a nd I thing Dweezil also is a very cool name.

Better than "Chastity" or "apple" or that ridiculous thing Bono came up with. Ewwwww.

15. I though "Apple" was bad until I saw your list. I had no IDEA
about some of those other ones.

Jason Lee disappoints me AGAIN. The first time was when I found out he's a Scientologist.

22. Jason Lee
Love him, but I agree that name is bad. Pilot...okaaaaay...Inspektor...whaaaaa? Huh?? Does he want all the kids to laugh at his kid?

And he's a Scientologist? Didn't know that! Blah.

21. My sixth grade teacher actually named her son Attila...
so, Attila Morgan, wherever you are, I hope life has been good to you. With that name, you deserve it. He's about 39 now.

I've always thought that it was an odd name. I apologize to all the Attilas in the world...even THE HUN.

32. How can I choose just one?
They are all HIDEOUS!!!

Even Frank Zappa was guilty of this repugnant celebrity idiosyncrasy... Dweezil? Moon Unit? Give me a fucking break.

Ahmet is cool, if a little removed from its cultural and ethnic roots.

Just what we needed. More Georges.
