Hollywood Monikers? Or Hollywood MORONikers?

First off, Seraphina Rose Elizabeth Affleck.

Let's talk.

Or we don't have to talk at all. I can just say that I actually thought Ben and Jen were two normal ones. Oy vey.

I wish this whole weird Hollywood baby moniker thing didn't bother me, but it actually does. It really does. Before you come to the conclusion that I'm an idiot who cares about irrelevant things, allow us to take inventory:

  • Apple (Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin's daughter)
  • Thijs (Matt and Annette Lauer's son)
  • Coco (Courtney Cox and David Arquette's daughter)
  • Kal-el (Nicolas Cage and Alice Kim's son)
  • Diezel Ky (Toni Braxton and Keri Lewis's son)
  • Daisy Boo and Poppy Honey (Jools Norton and Jamie Oliver's twin girls)
  • Bluebell Madonna (Geri Halliwell and Sacha Gervasi's daughter)
  • Fifi-Trixibelle, Peaches, Little Trixie, Honeyblossom (Paula Yates and Bob Geldof's daughters)
  • Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily (Paula Yates again; this time, with another stupid man)
  • Satchel (Tonya Linette and Spike Lee's daughter)
...and my personal favorites, it's a tie and I think that's only necessary...

Audio Science and Pilot Inspektor.

If ever I run into Shannyn Sossaman and Dallas Clayton or Beth Riesgraf and Jason Lee, mark my words: I will induce harm. Mental harm, but harm nonetheless.

I understand the desire to be unique and different since it's Hollywood and these people - aside from being screwed up from that alone - feel the need to outdo themselves in every sense of the word. But to do that to their children! Their own children, that's just plain cruel. I can just hear it now.

"Hey Science! Wanna come over later?"

Not only will Audio's friend feel stupid calling his buddy by his name, but anyone on the street will no doubt think they're mentally ill for calling out to a school subject.

Just a pet peeve. No big deal.

Ok, well, unfortunately I only recognized the names of about 5 of your celebrities. I have no idea who most of them are. Does that mean they can't be all that famous? No probably means I'm just behind the times. Personally, I think the worst of the names you quoted are the dog names: Fifi-trixibells, Peaches, And Trixie. The parents I've never heard of. I think Audio Science and Pilot Inspektor will probably turn out as well as Frank Zappa's kids did: Moon Unit, Dweezil and I think a kid called Muffin. So I guess that means the weird name thing started back in my generation?
