It's been too long since we've been able to rant about people famous for being famous AND dreadful baby names. Let the wild rumpus rant start!
Nicole Richie, special and famous for being Ed McMahon to Paris Hilton's Johnny Carson, has had a second child with boyfriend Joel Madden.
We all know that celebrities give their kids weird names. Now even un-special commoners routinely name their kids er, creatively. So celebs started adding more names to their kids - four is now the standard. Pretty soon we'll see super-long crazy names. Octo-names, if you will.
You know, especially when you're famous despite having no special talent, image is everything. Naturally, you want your kids' names to have special image.
So with that in mind, we welcome Nicole & Joel's brand new son, Sparrow James Midnight Madden.
Here are our mental images of the poor kid. Backwards.
Midnight. It's a good name for a kitty or horsie, but the first image that jumped into our heads?
One hit wonders, Dexy's Midnight Runners.
Our Eyes!!!
Next, James. Whoa, too normal! But we're not normal, so the first image to come to our minds? Actor James Franco asleep in class at Columbia University, because we see a lot of this in the little Richie-Madden kid's future.
FINALLY, Sparrow. We're torn: Do we think of a cute little songbird?
Or Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow?
We can't decide. So this is the poor kid's image, forever imprinted in our minds.
I hadn't thought about the Pirates possibility for the name Sparrow, but now I'm going to have that last photo stuck in my head forever. :-)
the Baretta theme song 'Keep Your Eye on the Sparrow' rises unbidden to this geezer's mind
I actually think "Sparrow" is a sweet nickname for a wee French girl who has a lovely little singing voice... for a boy who may end up looking like his father, it's silly.
Welcome to the world Sparrow, your parents aren't neither famous enough nor rich enough to save you from getting your ass kicked in the 5th grade.
Ha! I just saw the story and hopped over to see what ya'll had to say! They did manage to end both kids' names with the "O" sound, lol.
