Hey celebs! We're begging you: enough with the idiotic names! Enough is enough.
Baby name idiocy has a surprisingly long history. Way back in 1969, hospital nurses refused to write Dweezil on Frank Zappa's son's birth certificate. So Frank named his son Ian Donald Calvin Euclid. When Dweezil discovered that "Dweezil" was just a nickname, he had his name legally changed.
Which is as it should be. If a man wants to be called Dweezil, that is his right. But we don't think Dweezil should be forced upon anyone.
Which brings us to Jamie Oliver, who has named his infant son Buddy Bear Maurice.
This follows on the heels of his three daughters: Petal Blossom Rainbow, Daisy Boo Pamela and Poppy Honey Rosie.
The man is an excellent cook, but when it comes to his children's names, his taste is all in his mouth.
We're begging you. MAKE IT STOP!!!

Buddy Bear?? That is a perfectly adorable pet name, but you shouldn't put that on a birth certificate!!! My boy answers to Monkey- but that is not his legal name. I see that two of his girls have at least one regular middle name, but don't you feel sorry for Petal Blossom Rainbow?
When we were naming our babies we always made sure they would sound good with the prefix Doctor, Professor, or Prime Minister. Madame Justice Petal Blossom Oliver or Doctor Buddy Oliver just doesn't have the right tone, does it?
I knew there was a reason my parents didn't name me Poppy Buxom!
It doesn't go with Dr., Professor, Judge, Senator, or President.
Sadly, it does go with Porn Star.
