Did you hear this news? I've heard of odd names before and this one is certainly way up the list! So what would you guess the baby is? A boy or a little girl? It's a girl! You sure can't tell by the name though. What do you think of this? I think everyone has the right to name their kids whatever they want but I don't think people are stopping to think what this will mean to the kid later in life having such an odd name. What's your opinion?

I don't understand the race to name your baby such an original name that no one else has thought of it. I agree with you that people have the right to name their children anything they want, but your right, what is this kid going to think of her name when she is school age? Will she be teased? I got teased for my name, but my name is korean and my middle name is an american family name and. Yong is my mother's name and is a family name from her side of the family and Faye is my grandmothers middle name. Then my last name was Potter....so I got teased so much during school hahaha! People would say Welcome Back Kotter Potter and even in kindergarten kids couldn't pronounce Yong so they would call me Yum Yum Bubble Gum. Then that baby had that baboon heart transplant and they started calling me Baby Faye and then they would tease me about having a baboon heart. Oh, that was just awful. I can laugh it off now but it was embarrassing when I was a kid. But parents don't know if that will happen to their child so we can't blame them for trying to be original hahaha!

This annoys me, because these parents must know that their children will be easily picked on at school and having such a foolish and inane name will make them easy targets! Especially as their parents are already famous or not! It's beggars belief that normal parents can call their children absurb names, I always remember creasing up with laughter at Mr Geldoff's children Peaches and Trixiebell, can you imagine those poor children's lifes at school? The bullies would have a field day! So come on people it is NOT cool to call your children idiotic names!

The good thing is that a person can change his/her name when they become adults. I know many people who loathe their given name and go by another name.

Mila is my idol eversince I watched her movie Resident Evil. I think the name is not that bad compared to other actors right? At least it's not that very complicated...

Ever isn't as "Your gonna get picked on" as Julia Roberts son Phinnaeus. She has twins 1 girl Hazel,1 boy Phinnaeus. The newest arrival for her is Henry. Actor Jason Lee (My Name is Earl) sons name is Pilot Inspektor Riesgraf Lee Penn Gillette of Penn and Teller fame has named is daughter Moxie CrimeFighter! But here's the best George Forman has five sons and there names are George Jr. George III, George IV, George V and George VI. Begs the question, Were they not getting enough oxygen.

Yeah, I know. I think the actors and actresses are probably the worst offenders in giving babies names. I'm glad I have a "normal" name. lol

It seems to be a trend among celeberties doesn't it. Apple, Coco, Phinneus etc. I would agree with you that the parents aren't thinking about how it would be for a child to have such an odd name. I mean, the kids will have to go to school and listen to their name being called during roll call.

I dont know why the celebrities have to name their children such wierd names, like Apple. But then again I guess celebrities are not consider normal anymore. But if it was just anybody eles that named their child Ever they probably would get picked on, but I thought about this. A celebrity could probably name their child anything and their child will not get picked on because of who their parents are. Or at the school that the celebrities send their kids, they all have wierd names.
