As if that wasn't bad enough but his surname is Wentz. Bronx Wentz? That's just cruel.

Ha ha ha ha.

That's all I can say.

Poor kid. Might as well book the therapy now.

At a guess, that name will be quoted in "oddest celeb baby names" for the next few years.

How would that translate over here?

Streatham Tigger?

You don't need to translate Mowgli, Rudyard Kipling was British.

Oh god, even with the "must be different, must be original" compulsion even slightly famous people seem to get, that's just frigging cruel - ugly, harsh, nonsensical. It's not a wind up is it, maybe he's actually called Timothy!

(obviously no disrespect meant to any Timothys out there - tis a fine name I'm sure)

You forgot Pax, Lockets! The child army will not be pleased!

Perhaps I should rename dts, well they might be nearly 7 but I'm beginning to think that being named after the first man and an Celtic King is rather boring.

Bonus is they could both technically be called Broxburn, hence getting the trendy x in there!
