Didn't some actress name her daughter "Apple?" And of course if she has another daughter she can name her "Peach". If she has a boy, maybe she can start on the vegetable kingdom, i.e. Arty-choke, or Stringbean, or if the kid is grouchy, "Prickly Pear"!! :D-->
quote:Shannyn Sossamon who starred alongside Josh Hartnett in Forty Days and Forty Nights took a break from Hollywood flop films only to make a baby that she named Audio Science.
That poor guy/gal will never be able use their initials.
I was casually acquainted with a couple of dancers (hippie street performers) in the late 60s who named their boy Godot (at least it's a name) and their girl Groovy!
I've got 3 second cousins named Sky, Wind, and Reed - they're all girls. They live up in Canada somewhere.
And a wayfer I knew used to work with a Japanese woman whose name was Toyota somethingorother, and she married a man named James Driver. So her married name is Toyota Driver.
I've some friends in Washburn, Wisconsin -- who named their first boy Skye. Their last name is Christensen, and given their liberal bent on politics, I told em "with a name like that, Skye could make a great news anchor some day." :)-->
I get along with them just fine, cause they are fiddle-friendly!! :D-->
I don't what is worse, having a name that many others have or being called something off beat. I have a brother who I have not seen in over twenty-five years who was named "Rehn" because it was my Dad's Mother's maiden name....

My question is what ever possessed her to name the boy "Phinnaeus?"
I'd hate to be that kid when he gets to school.

I think Gwyneth Paltrow's daughter is named Apple.
Nothing beats Moon Unit and Dweezil Zappa, however.

...and I'll bet he always keeps his parents waiting, Linda!
Maybe he was born past his due date.
Sorry, had to be the first to say it...

I watched Foxworthy last night and they mentioned the name: "Stu Pididiot, first name Stu, last name Pididiot."

A Palestinian woman named Safa Omar gave birth to twins on November 12 and named them Yasser and Arafat.
Lucky kids.

I went to school with a girl named Clearwater and her little brother was named Ocean.
Methinks their parents liked da wacky weed a bit too much, eh?
And let's not forget Bob Geldof's daughter named Fifi Trixie-Belle....

What's in a name?
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

River Pheonix is a classic
I think parents who give thier child embarrassing names should spend the reat of thier lives with the names ugly and butthead.

I'd like to find the parents of Glenn Close, Darryl Hannah and Michael Learned to explain to them the difference between little boys and little girls.

I read about someone whose actual name is Michael Hunt. I can see why he doesn't go by Mike.
