Pity poor Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck. We truly like them and we trust them to give their new daughter a reasonably normal name but we also know that these members of Hollywood royalty are under tremendous pressure to come up with a name for their new daughter.
See, celebrity children are valuable commodities, like crown jewels. A cute kid can majestically raise his or her parents' images. Icky kids? Not so much.
Celeb kids can't be named, they must be branded, like a new detergent. Hey, would you think highly of a new detergent named Bob? Image is everything!
Not only that, celebs now trend towards giving their kids not only a first and middle name, they're giving them a first and TWO middle names, just like the British Royal Family. Behold:
The Romjin-O'Connell twins: Dolly Rebecca Rose O'Connell and Charlie Tamara Tulip O'Connell
The Stefani-Rossdale baby: Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale
The Kidman-Urban baby: Sunday Rose Kidman Urban
The Richie-Madden baby: Harlow Winter Kate Madden
And even she of Alaskan nobility, Bristol Palin, named her baby Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston!
So the Afflecks did a great job naming their first, Violet Anne Affleck. How can they follow that? And add an extra name, to boot?
We think they'll keep with a theme, yet choose something unique . How about flower names? How about Chrysanthemum?
Maybe they'll go the color route. We like Chartreuse.
How about another name beginning with the letter "V"? Voila, Viola!
So there you have it. Mamarazzi suggests Chrysanthemum Chartreuse Viola...
Affleck.
Or the Afflecks could simply forgo giving the baby a king's ransom of names and follow Filipino superstar boxer Manny 'Pacman' Pacquiao's example and give her the ultimate regal title: Queen Elizabeth.
In this light, we think the flower - ugly color - instrument - duck name RULES.
What do you think? Let us know here.
