Romeo? 🤔

(TBH, Apple is just as bad...)

But, seriously, celebrity names are stupid!

About 423 years ago I reckon.

To be honest, I'm more surprised anyone thinks calling your kid Coriolanus is a good idea.

Romeo is an actual name though at least it's not Pilot Inspektor that was just too absurd even for the realm of wacky celeb kids names!

Seriously what is wrong with the name Romeo? Don't like it then don't bloody name your child it.

Seems quite reasonable compared to Rocket Ayer, child of Pharrell Williams. Smile

I really like Apple. Am I on my own? Not sure about Romeo, I use it as slang for " womaniser". But I'm not sure if that's widespread?

I actually think Romeo is the most normal one of the Beckham children!

Is it really right that the new Kardashian baby is Stormy?! Haven’t had time to google... mind you I don’t think i’d expect anything less!

I would agree. I think they are dreadful names and I cringe when hearing them.

I thought Harper was odd but have got used to it now. It's fine and Romeo is a normal name in some countries.

It's a good name for a cat though because it means Prince of Cats

Is her middle name Night? Or better still, Stormi Knight. If it isn't then I think someone has missed a trick.

I like Maud and Morag!

I can't help but hear Romeo with the lyric 'is the kind of guy that you wanna be with' attached to it!
