Celebrity Baby Names

Celebrities aren’t like everyday people. They have busy schedules, drive expensive cars, and wear jewellery that others will solely dream of owning. Maybe it is as a result of celebrities are so so much off from traditional life that they typically offer their babies unusual names.

Some names are simply a very little different. John Travolta and Kelly Preston have 2 lovely children. Their daughter’s name is Ella Bleu. Their son’s name is Jett. Jett is totally different, but anyone who is aware of anything about John Travolta is aware of he features a love for flying. Gwyneth Paltrow, pregnant once more, came under scrutiny for naming her initial child Apple. Whereas it is unusual, it’s somewhat cute, like within the “apple of their eye.” Chris Martin, her husband, bored with the controversy over the name Apple, has jokingly stated their second kid, whether male or feminine, can be named Banana. Another cute name is Dandelion, the name of Keith Richards’ daughter. Julie Roberts recently gave birth to twins – a boy and a girl – and received flack over the names she chose. She received nearly as much grief over the selection for her daughter’s name, Hazel, as she did the more eccentric selection of Phinnaeus for her son.

Many people speculated what Madonna would name her 1st child. Lourdes Maria appears a fitting name for child who’s mother’s name is Madonna, however she often goes by Lola. Her son is named Rocco, which sounds a small amount like a cartoon character, however at least it’s a robust sounding name. Actor Casey Affleck and fiancĂ© Summer Phoenix recently had a son named Indiana August, that leads one to wonder what state and month their son was conceived in. Toni Braxton has 2 sons, Denim and Diezel. While each useful products, they make somewhat strange names for children. Rob Marrow determined it might be cute if he named his daughter Tu Simone Ayer, calling her Tu Morrow. Marvel if she can suppose it’s cute twenty years from now? Actor Jason Lee named his son Pilot Inspektor, but magician Penn Jillette may have topped them all. He named his daughter, Moxie Crimefighter, saying “because when she’s pulled over for dashing she can say, `But officer, we tend to’re on the same aspect, my middle name is CrimeFighter.”‘

If you think it is a brand new trend, assume again. Back in 1971, David Bowie and his then wife Angela set to call their son Duncan Zowie Heywood Jones. He soon became referred to as Zowie Bowie. Cher named her kids Chastity Sun and Elijah Blue.

The Phoenix family is well-known for his or her unusual choice of baby names. Summer Phoenix’s siblings are the late actor River Phoenix, actresses Rain and Liberty Phoenix and actor Joaquin Phoenix. Joaquin felt his name was therefore out of place with his siblings, that when he was four, he determined to alter his name to Leaf. By the first 1990′s, he had reverted back to using his birth name. Another family infamous for his or her decisions of baby names is the Zappa family. Frank’s kids are Dweezil, Moon Unit, Ahmed Emuukha Rodan and Diva Muffin. Whereas many individuals suppose that Dweezil is his given name, his birth name was originally Ian Donald Calvin Euclid Zappa as a result of the hospital refused to register the name Dweezil. Perpetually called Dweezil, when he was a child, he wished to create the name official and his parents took him to have it modified legally. Paula Yates, former wife of Sir Bob Geldof and girlfriend these days rocker Michael Hutchence, conjointly had a knack for giving her children unusual names. Among her brood are Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches Honeyblossom Michelle Charlotte Angel Vanessa, Heavenly Hiraani Tigerlily, and Little Pixie.

Some celebrity baby names create sense if you know the story behind them. Eurythmic’s Dave Stewart named his son Django once jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt. Stevie Marvel named his son Mandla Kadjaly Carl Stevland, however Mandla suggests that “powerful” in Zulu and Kadjaly means that “born from God” in Swahili. Helen Hunt just gave birth to a baby woman she named Makena’lei Gordon. The name Makena’lei is from a disciple’s dream and means that “many flowers of heaven.” Gordon, an unlikely girl’s name, was to honor of Helen’s father, tv director Gordon Hunt. Nicolas Cage simply named his new baby boy Kal-el. Because Nicolas took his stage name of Cage from comic book character Luke Cage, he determined to call his son Kal-el when one in all his favorite comic book heroes. Kal-el is Superman’s kryptonian name.

Thus, do the youngsters like these unconventional names given them by their folks? In some cases, they do. The Phoenix’s appear to love their nature-impressed names and the Zappa children appear to own had no sick effects from their eccentric names. However, some youngsters tire of the peculiar names quickly. Zowie Bowie had had enough of his moniker by the point he was 12 and asked to be referred to as “Joey.” Although Dandelion Richards will not appear too dangerous, she has since started bearing on herself as Angela. Recently, Peaches Honeyblossom Michelle Charlotte Angel Vanessa Geldof has been the most outspoken concerning the odd alternative her oldsters created in naming her. She has been quoted as saying, “I hate ridiculous names. My weird name has haunted me all my life.”

While having an uncommon name may be troublesome for any kid, the celebrity of a kid’s folks may enhance it even further. Fortunately, celebrity kids who decide they do not like their given names will switch to a nickname or even eventually have their names legally changed.

Walk the Line

This is not a review about Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon’s hair. However–as any self-respecting fan knows–in country music, after proving you can pluck a guitar and carry a tune, the power of the right hairstyle is not to be underestimated. Johnny Cash, in fact, was famously vain about his locks–perhaps one of the few things he was vain about–and many a guitar store employee can attest…

Ladder 49


$6.78


While films like Back Draft have celebrated the spectacular danger and courageous work that America’s firefighters face every day, director Jay Russell’s tale of a Baltimore ladder company is more interested in the character of the men that dedicate their lives to saving others. The film’s character study nature has inspired a song-based soundtrack that variously evokes introspection (David Gray’s…

Copland: Suite from The Tender Land; 3 Latin-American Sketches; Suite from The Red Pony

Aaron Copland’s The Tender Land was to be the first opera written for television, but NBC rejected it. Copland revised it, but later performances weren’t well received. Hard to believe, from just the suite. This is vintage–if unfamiliar–Copland. The Red Pony comes from the film of the same name and is quite understated, something that was intentional on Copland’s part: he didn’t want the music t…

A big-budget summer epic with money to burn and a scale worthy of its golden Hollywood predecessors, Ridley Scott’s Gladiator is a rousing, grisly, action-packed epic that takes moviemaking back to the Roman Empire via computer-generated visual effects. While not as fluid as the computer work done for, say, Titanic, it’s an impressive achievement that will leave you marveling at the glory that was…

Space Camp [VHS]


$3.32


SpaceCamp shares a striking similarity to Ron Howard’s Apollo 13–it’s about NASA trying to bring some people down from outer space, except in this case 13 represents the median age of those in danger. Kate Capshaw plays Andie, who throws off the curve by being on the high end of that age scale. She’s always a bridesmaid, but never a bride in the shuttle program, an astronaut doomed to play wet n…
