With the birth of Ashlee Simpson’s Bronx Mowgali and now Lisa Bonet’s Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa, the race is on for celebrities to come up with the most nonsensical baby names. There are no rules but previous names suggest it should involve no less than three abstract nouns, two hyphens, and one undesirable location (and a voucher for a lifetime’s worth of therapy).Here are my predictions for the top five upcoming celebrity baby names for 2009:

(Inspirations include: Pilot Inspektor, Kyd, Apple – which almost seems normal now – Sage Moonblood, Blanket, and Audio Science.)

1. Rosebud Rochester

2. Hola-Adios Grace

3. ObAmA 2009

4. Eggplant

5. Busdriver Mulan

What are some others???

(Extra points for mundane occupations, intentional misspellings, and absolute unpronouncability)

    With Brooklyn taken by Becks and Posh, and Bronx take by Trashlee and Pete, I'm eager to see which NYC borough goes next. Queens? Staten Island (please please please someone name their kid Staten Island please!!!) or Manhattan??

    There's also the Brooklyn neighborhood alternative. With Williamsburg being so hip it's actually not hip anymore, I could see someone naming their kid Williamsburg ("We're going to call him "Billyburg" for short!! Weeee!!") or perhaps someone will go for Fort Greene or, dare I say, Bushwick. How about Red Hook ("We just looooove Ikea!" she gushed to US Weekly), or DUMBO, RAMBO or Clinton Hill ("We love Brooklyn AND Hillary!!!)? The lunacy of uniqueness knows no bounds. It's awesome.

    All of the above are in play in some celebritard's head and, like Pilot Inspektor (Jason Lee's kid) and Kal-El Cage (Nic Cage's kid) before him or her, they will get their asses handed to them on the playground. Way to go Mom and Dad!! Your kid is unique and you're cool and creative! Yay!

    I was shopping the other day and I heard a mom call her 5 year old twins over, "Jack, Kennedy, come here!" Certainly not bizarre, but still the Presidential flair is a little…different.

    I've heard of Shithead before, there was also Asshole (pronounced Ashley, of course…) and then I went to school with twins "Lemonjello and Orangejello" I shit you not… there mother was high enough on pain meds she named her kids off the hospital dessert menu… and my friend in elementary school's name was Emerald Green.

    My brother went to school with kids named Pepsi and Cola. Their parents had just moved to the US before they were born and wanted to name them something Americans liked.

    Note to Pedro….Brooklyn iiiis actually a girls name. Also a neighborhood in NYC buuuut was a girls name first. And while I agree celebs are riiiiidic with their names, keep in mind that a lot of older places in North America are actually named after people. I know the province Alberta in Canada was named after a member of british royalty (I want to say princess but Im not 100% on that). Though today if someone named their daughter Alberta I'd be like what you smokin, you gotta give 'em the fact that it waaas a name first.

    The names I plan on using for my children are considered obscure, or, at least some of them. I'm hoping to adopt five.

    Poppy, (girl)

    Quinn, (boy)

    Keller, (girl)

    Ash (boy)

    and Annaxandra (girl)

    I just wrote a book on bad baby names and I can verify there are kids named Manhattan (who was born in Kansas!!! go figure), Queens (with the 's'), Jersey and Harlem. GTFOH… If I find a kid named Staten Island, I'm DONE!

Tell us what you're thinking...
