Sorry if i heard this wrong but i was dozzing off at the time.
But im sure it said on the late news that the beckhams had called their new son CRUISE.
God what a joke.
Dont these people think about the consequences of their actions.
those poor kid's.
I think its no better than child abuse.
Is this woman a half wit or something.
Or have i heard it all wrong .
I bet the news reader was roaring with laughter when he saw what he had to read out.

Ahh don't worry about it

Once this kid gets his allowance and a sponsorship deal from addidas he'll be alright

It's not Cruise, it's CRUZ.

But in Spainish its a 'Girls' name :o awww poor lickle mite... :)

i thought Romeo was bad enough lol

Could this mean their third baby maybe have been conceived on a Cruise! :? hmmm! one ponders! :hihi: :wink:

i think it translates to the word 'cross' in spanish ...

Why do these rich people burden their children with such dreadful, pretentious names?

The name Cruz is not horrendous- bad, as "beckham-names" went... (it simply means "cross"- as in "crucifixon", not "angry") but meh.

As I have said before, it do feel partially sorry for the rich kids who get these burdensome names, but it isn't bad for them, as they will be at the posh-kid -school, with all the other little "Apples", "Saskias", "Peregrines", and "Tarquins". Which means that their names aren't going to be conspicuous.

It 's all the copycat wallies, that I am dreading... the ones who can't think for themselves, and think it clever to name their child with the fancy-schmancy names that the superstars give.

fast forward four or five years, and visualise the scene on the moor or in the market.....

(scene 1. day. bustling Market. Young mother in Branded tracksuit, and copious amounts of "bling-bling around her neck, and adorning her fingers. Cigarette hanging, lazily from her lips. Two children, runny nosed, dressed in "toddler" kappa or nike. running riot amongst the shoppers.)

MOTHER:- (shrilly) "nah-den!!! Brooklyn- Pierce! Romeo-Saatchi! Fooken get dI senz 'ere, or da'll get di ars*s Tanned. A'll Bleedin' tan di when ah get 'old of di! Bee' ave di senz!"

(Shudder :) )

Or perhaps they're hoping Tom will be the godfather? Not that the little mite will be short of a bob or two .....

When I heard this on the news yesterday, my first thought was that perhaps Brooklyn's not such a bad name after all ..... :suspect:

StarSparkle :loopy:

Correct, that is exacty what it means - not 'cross-bearer' as I've heard them say on the radio today.

that was Zappa's daughter ....

his sons were dubbed "Dweezil" Zappa and "Ahmet"/ (sp? Ahmed?v Zappa)

cher's kids are chastity bono, and Elijah-blue allmann

Mr wilson, (from the beach boys? / mamas and papas? think it's the bb's) wanted to call his daughter "Carnation", but settled on "Carnie".

(trying to think of other celebs with kids with off-the-wall names... can only think of Gwynnie's baby, Apple:- I must be having a blonde moment!)

lmao pt - cheered me up that did:thumbsup:

didnt Demi Moore or someone name one of her kids Peaches and one Heavenly-Hirani-Tiger-Lily a few years back?

No that was Bob Geldof

There was Pixie something too, think she was a Paula Yates/Michael Hutchence baby.
Zowie Bowie... who could forget.
There's a site here:
http://www.babyzone.com/features/content/display.asp?TopicID=30&ContentID=309

bob geldof and Paula YAtes called their three daughters fifi trixibelle, Peaches, and Pixie. she went on to have a child with Michael Huchence which they called "Heavenly Hiraaani Tiger-lily".

Demi moore and Briuce Willis's daughters are Rumer, Scout, and TAllulah-belle IIRC

(thanks for the prompts! i knew there were some more examples!)

david bowie's son is Zowie bowie.. (prefers to be called joe, these days, or something!)

Ringo starr called his kid something wacky, can't remember at the moment.

Marc Bolan Called his son Rolan Bolan

PT

I always wonder how they get these names! Perhaps any celebrities looking for ideas should try here! (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?postid=273127#post273127)

Frank Zappa also had a second daughter named Diva

Keith Richards had a daughter called Dandelion, but she later changed her name to Angela

Zowie Bowie also changed his name to something more conventional - Duncan, I think

Has anyone mentioned Jamie Oliver and the delightfully daft names he gave his kids: Daisy- Boo and Poppy- Honey?

Then there's Jacko's kids: Prince Michael & Paris Michael (say no more)

And between them Bob Geldof and Paula Yates produced various oddly-named offspring: Fifi Trixibelle, Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily and Peaches

This could be a very long thread!

How about:

Noel Gallagher's Anais
Liam Gallagher's Lennon
Madonna's Lourdes and Rocco
Jonathan Ross's Honey Kinny and Betty Kitten
Kim Basinger's Ireland
Melanie Griffiths' Dakota
Woody Allen's Satchel

Personally, I kind of like Apple as a little girl's name - it's quite sweet!:)

StarSparkle (mind, I can't really talk about silly names!:suspect: )

PS Just remembered:
Graham Coxon's (ex-Blur) Pepper
Courteneey Cox-Arquette's Coco

Hehe I like the idea of being named after something stupid, like a US state, or a day of the week, a la 'Dakota' or the Addams Family's 'Wednesday'

So when all th good states are used up, there'll be celeb kids in a few years called


Kansas
Maryland
New Mexico
Delaware

and heaven forbid

New Hampshire!!!

and

Pancake Day
April-Fool
Thanksgiving...

no that was Paula Yates but still daft names! I think most celebs use normal names it is always the media driven ones that come out with the drivel!!! I have 3 boys and many people have commented this week that 'oh I am like the Beckhams' - well I say 'NO....the Beckhams are like me....but then again not likely!!!

I am happy being me...with 3 boys with sensible names !!

Although the Beckhams bank balance would come in handy !!

Thing is they can/have the money to keep trying for a girl and no doubt they will - shame we all can't have the choice!!!!

I would never turn back the clock I love my boys but if I had the money like them I would have more children to achieve a mixed sex family - shame that this choice is removed for many hardworking families - Even though my husband and I work it is impossible now for us to afford more children.

Be nice to know what other same sex families think on this one??

sieshunk,

Posh will have to be very careful, if she is trying for a fourth child, girl or no...

She's already had three caesarian deliveries, and recieved medical wisdom is that because of the risks of rupturing the scarrring, (Both duruing the pregnancy and in labour) it is unwise to have any more than three (at a push, four- no pun intended! lol) caesarians. "Normal" deliveries are possible after a caesarian, but the mother can't usually have an epidural because of the reasons outlined above.

Anyway, I apologise, as I am taking this off topic,

The topic being "celebrities giving their kids silly names" :-

(Has anyone mentioned Sylvester Stallone's son, "Sage", yet shades of "the Herbs" children's tv programme there, lol.

P "I'm a rather fat , feathery owl, called sage!" T

Now that Peter Andre and Jordan have announced their impending arrival, (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds19513.html) I wonder if they'll be choosing any dodgy names? Harvey wasn't a bad choice for her first, but I wonder if Peter will be a bad influence?

tacky joke time---- tacky joke time---- Tacky joke time----

i was sent this joke, which was a bit tacky, but, i thought it was funny...

"there's so much plastic in Jordan, that they are planning on calling the baby 'mastercard' !!"

(on a more serious note, thank God "Katie Price" is not like "Jordan"... "katie's" a caring mother to Harvey, who is a beautiful little lad! the character she plays as Jordan, I really dislike)

I agree PT. I've seen her in interview lately with Peter Andre, and she seems a much softer soul; just shows what bravado people will present to have a chance at fame!

Does that mean because Brooklyn was named after where he was conceived that the Bex themselves were 'avin it away up Parson Cross recently?
C :D :D L

Remember that odd couple who named their baby LaaLaa after the Tellytubby?

(S)he will be about 5 now I'd guess.

Poor little bugger.
