Oh, Baby! (And, you thought ‘Maddox’ was different …)

February 24th, 2010 -

The other day, some guy asked my boyfriend if I was pregnant because I appeared to be glowing. Silly rabbit, that’s called exfoliation.

But, despite the fact that this guy was just plain clueless about skin care, it got all of us here at Glittarazzi thinking, “What would we name our babies if we had some baking in the Glittarazzi oven?”

And so, determined to come up with names hotter than Brangelina’s Maddox, we turned to other celebs for a little inspiration.

So, what’s in a cool celebrity baby name, anyway? Apparently, not much. …

  • Courteney Cox and David Arquette: This duo named their daughter Coco — not because they love Conan; they did it because it was Courteney’s childhood nickname.
  • Nicolas Cage named his kid Kal-El Coppola (Superman’s birth name).
  • Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin named their daughter Apple because her dad thought it would be nice.
  • U2 band member “The Edge“ named his offspring Blue Angel. We hope it wasn’t because his baby came out blue.
  • Forest Whitaker wanted something Earthy, much like his own name. And so he chose Ocean. You know, like the ocean.
  • Bono, on the other hand, named his baby Memphis Eve, which is odd — but better than Bonnet, we guess.
  • Sylvester Stallone went with the ever-so-popular baby name Sage Moonblood. We assume it was inspired from his Rambo days. :-0
  • David Duchovny and Tea Leoni named their kid the obvious choice: Kyd.
  • Steven Spielberg’s son’s name is Destry. Maybe because Shutter Island was taken?
  • Michael Jackson named his children Prince Michael II and Blanket. We get the Prince part, but think Blanket got short end of the Thriller stick.
  • But, Blanket’s not worse than Jermaine Jackson’s little boy’s name … Jermajesty.
  • Andre Benjamin and Erykah Badu named their baby Seven Sirius. Yes. We’re serious.
  • Jason Lee named his kid Pilot Inspektor because he liked a song by the band Grandaddy called “He’s Simple, He’s Dumb, He’s the Pilot.” I’m sure Pilot will appreciate that when he’s 14.
  • Bob Geldof and Paula Yates: They named their baby Fifi Trixibelle. After Tinkerbell, perhaps?
  • Robert Rodriguez named his kids Racer, Rebel, Rogue, Rhiannon and Rocket. We assume it is because he is a fan of the letter R.
  • Frank Zappa picked four winners (umm, not!): Dweezil, Ahmet, Moon Unit and Diva Thin Muffin. Mmm, muffins.
  • Penn Jillette — and advocate of atheism — named his baby Moxie Crimefighter. Why? Because there is no God, we assume.

Hmm, I guess I could name my non-existant fetus Glittarazzi. Hey, at least it’s got my name all over it. …

    mj’s grandfather’s name was prince (katherine’s father), so he wasn’t trying to be elitist when he named his son “prince”
