Romeo? 🤔

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

But, seriously, celebrity names are stupid!

How long ago did this happen?

SneakyGremlins · 11/02/2018 22:10

It's better than Chicago.

Notso · 11/02/2018 22:16

I think Brooklyn is worse.

Glumglowworm · 11/02/2018 22:16

At least Romeo is an actual name!

hazeyjane · 11/02/2018 22:20

How long ago did this happen?

About 423 years ago I reckon.

hazeyjane · 11/02/2018 22:23

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

HappyLollipop · 11/02/2018 22:32

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!

IMightMentionGriddlebone · 11/02/2018 22:36

It was Tybalt I felt sorry for.

HanutaQueen · 11/02/2018 22:40

I went to uni with a Lysander.

upsideup · 11/02/2018 22:41

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

hazeyjane · 11/02/2018 22:43

And Aeneas, Dr Butts and Bottom.....hang on I'm sensing a bit of an arse theme here.

maras2 · 11/02/2018 22:48

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

Slanetylor · 11/02/2018 22:48

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?

JanetStWalker · 11/02/2018 22:53

That was my beautiful dog's name. RIP Romeo x

Notgotajarofglue · 11/02/2018 22:54

My ds is Romeo Blush

Who is responsible for that travesty? Shock

PenelopeChipShop · 11/02/2018 23:03

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!

Topseyt · 11/02/2018 23:03

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

PenelopeChipShop · 11/02/2018 23:04

The most normal NAME I mean obviously, I don’t actually know him.... Grin

Leicesterpiggott · 11/02/2018 23:04

It's Stormi. With an i. Obvs Wink

Beeziekn33ze · 11/02/2018 23:08

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

myusernamewastaken · 11/02/2018 23:15

Got to be better than Maud and Morag !!!

fusushumi · 11/02/2018 23:26

It was Tybalt I felt sorry for

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

PleaseDontGoadTheToad · 11/02/2018 23:27

Is it really right that the new Kardashian baby is Stormy

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

Notso · 11/02/2018 23:31

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!
