At least one of us here at tangents have made posts about the odd names celebrities and everyday people have given their children. I say if we find more, why not post those as well. Unless you live under a rock, you know of the quartet of Frank Zappa’s offspring (Diva, Ahmet, Moon Unit, and Dweezil). Those actually seem tame to some of these other monikers… of course, I think the novelty of those names has since worn off.. How about these:
- Jermajesty (son of Jermaine Jackson. He must have high hopes for this one. Or maybe the entire family has a thing for royalty.)
- Moxie Crimefighter (daughter of Penn Jilette. I wonder if his name was bestowed upon him or he chose that as his stage name.)
- Pilot Inspektor (son of Jason Lee. Perhaps foreshadowing a future position.)
- Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches Honeyblossom, and Pixie (daughters of musician Bob Geldof.)
- Tu Morrow (Rob Morrow’s little beauty. I see a young girl with huge, curly, red hair belting out the famous song from Annie.)
- God (Ok… rapper Lil’Mo REALLY has high aspirations for this one.)
- Messiah Yamajesty (yet another rapper Clifford T.I. Harris shooting for the stars).
Very unusual names that make Nicholas Cage’s choice of Kal-el for his son seem tame.
So it’s true about famous actors and drugs… Certainly they could not have come up with such names for their poor kids on sober minds.
Hey — We named our kid Disney — drug free!
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG with that name
. Now if you had named one of the Goofy, well, then, I might be worried.
Yes, compared to those other names Disney is as ordinary as Alicia or Melanie.
