Just been watching 'The Lie' on STV and one of the questions was something like 'is North West the child of whoever'. I thought that that was the lie but apparently it isn't Shock
Any more ridiculous baby names (celebrity or not)

Hahahaha sounds like Well'ard.

I thought Brangelina's daughter's name was a joke when it was announced, it sounds like a Spoonerism( when you swap the first letters of two words)
Shiloh Pitt....Pile o' sh**

I never quite got over river Phoenix real name being river bottom.

CountessVronsky · 05/05/2014 21:26

Shiloh is at least a real name.

Mrsjayy · 05/05/2014 21:27

there is nothing wrong with jaden or willow it is just they are a bit twee and named after will and jayden

pissedglitter · 05/05/2014 21:34

Nicholas Cage has a son called Kal-El
Yes super mans real name

Alisvolatpropiis · 05/05/2014 21:39

Sage Moonblood Stallone anybody?

I mean, calling a girl Moonblood wtaf were they thinking. Sage menstrual cycle. Lovely.

Moxie Crimefighter is also very dodgy.

As is Tu Morrow.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 05/05/2014 21:39

Rob Morrow from Numbers called his daughter Tu.

Mrsjayy · 05/05/2014 21:42

Tu morrow

UncleT · 05/05/2014 21:43

Jaden a 'normal' name? Maybe on Jeremy Kyle. It's contrived, US-influenced, made-up nonsense. Terrible.

AmeliaToppingLovesShopping · 05/05/2014 21:43

Alisvolatpropiis Sage was Sylvester Stallone's son.

BigRedBall · 05/05/2014 21:43

usualsuslecf they've named Willow after Will and Jaden after Jada....that's weird.

BigRedBall · 05/05/2014 21:45

Tü Sains-burys?

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 05/05/2014 21:46

Sistine Stallone, yeah ok.....

selsigfach · 05/05/2014 21:48

"North like Cher and Madonna" as one name? Or just "North" and no surname?

North Jones would be ok. North West is ridiculous.
I know you're meant to smile, nod and say "how lovely", but really her family should have done something.

fredfredgeorgejnr · 05/05/2014 21:49

Maybe he'll be a movie director and remake the Hitchcock film but just call it "North".

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 05/05/2014 21:49

Werent Kim on a talk show and some presenter actually asked if they were gonna call her North West?

Mrsjayy · 05/05/2014 21:50

yip just North Hmm

Alisvolatpropiis · 05/05/2014 21:52

Ah I stand corrected Amelia Grin

It's still a flipping ridiculous name though!

EverythingsDozy · 05/05/2014 21:55

I thought you meant the area when I read the title. We aren't all ridiculous in the NW!!
The name North West is not original in the slightest. It's on every single compass ever made. It's about as original as Max Power!

MrsBungle · 05/05/2014 21:56

I don't mind north but have to admit that north west is ridiculous. I like Jayden and willow, plenty of people name their children after themselves - not that I would personally. These sleb kids will be mixing with similarly fantastically named kids anyway so I doubt it'll matter to them!

SarahAndFuck · 05/05/2014 21:57

I quite like North, but only because I liked the character of Abe North in Tender Is The Night, but if my surname was West I wouldn't consider it.

I think Shiloh is Shiloh Jolie-Pitt but that's not really any better is it, just a pile of more cheerful shit if you get it wrong.
