Baby Mowgli has “Quirkiest Name”

Yep, that’s right! “2008’s Quirkiest Baby Names“, courtesy of OMG!, a celebrity website supported by Yahoo! Entertainment.

“BRONX MOWGLI: This year’s most unusual moniker, courtesy of Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz. He grew up near Chicago and she hails from Texas — yet, inexplicably, the rock-star couple named their son after one of the toughest boroughs in New York City. Giving some insight, Wentz revealed the middle name Mowgli was inspired by the scrappy boy hero of Disney’s “The Jungle Book.” ” - Associated Press

The other babies who made it to the list are: Sunday Rose (Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s little bundle of joy, named after the day she was born), Zuma Nesta Rock (baby boy of Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, named after a beach in Malibu and Bob Marley’s middle name), Honor Marie (daughter of Jessica Alba and Cash Warren, named after uhm, “honor” because the couple wanted their kid to grow up with dignity and respect), and Buster Timothy (son of Johnny Lee Miller and Michele Hicks, who wanted to combine quirkiness with tradition).

It’s quite apparent that the time when a simple “John” or “Michael” for the boys, and “Mary” or “Michelle” for the girls, has apparently passed. I guess that it’s easy for the parents to bestow a “quirky” name to their kid, but I think that they should keep in mind that they won’t be through an entirely lifetime being called with it. But then again, who cares if their names are weird, as long as they have millionaire parents and pampered lives, then the names don’t really matter. Their parents would still love them anyway, even sans the quirky names.
