Celeb Parents Give Kid Normal Name

Brett Singer — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 14:00:00 GMT

I guess I'm on a "let's point out the other side of things" jag. First it was vaccines. Now let's move on to something significantly less important: the names that celebrity parents bestow upon their offspring.

We make fun of those who name their poor children something bizarre – Bronx Mowgli. Ouch.

In the interest of fair play, let us give props – nay, let us give mad props, as the kids say (do the kids still say that?) – to Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber who named their son Samuel, with a middle name of Kai. Samuel! Didn't these people get the Celebrity Wacko Baby Name Handbook, which clearly stipulates that a child's first name must be utterly bizarre, and the middle name even more so?

Sammy's big sibling is Alexander "Sasha" Pete, which is equally regular, especially if compared to Bronx Mowgli, et al. So there you have it.

In all (semi) seriousness, a kid's name is important. Even if you grow up wealthy and have super-famous parents, at some point you'll have to go out and deal with the rest of the world. And being teased sucks. I also think – and maybe this is unfair – that if a name choice is particularly weird (have I mentioned that I think Bronx Mowgli is, at best, an odd choice?) that means the parents are weird. Does that bear out? Maybe, maybe not. I don't know any parents who chose to name their children something as extreme as Bronx Mowgli.

Actually, I take that back. Without naming names, I do know of a couple of parents who named their kids something weird. And yes – they are strange people. (Anyone who knows me and is reading this – it's not you.) Maybe there is something to this theory after all.

Liev Schreiber Won't Kick Naomi Watts Out of Bed for Eating Crackers (or Being Pregnant)

Finally! Someone is coming forward and raving about the beauteousness of a pregnant partner! In an interview on "Live with Regis and Kelly" Liev Schreiber reported that he found his girlfriend's "bump" sexy. Some people absolutely despise the term "bump" and I can't say that I entirely blame them. It is reductive and food-like and disturbing. Nevertheless, I'm so happy to hear a someone (anyone) raving about the sexiness of a pregnant woman that I'm willing to overlook a verbal misstep or seven.

I didn't find pregnancy sexy or amusing at all. Nor did I feel particularly hot and ripe and juicy. On the contrary. However, I would have appreciated someone telling me nonstop adoring lies just to get through. And yes I'm vain. And yes I hated pregnancy largely due to how I looked. But I also hated how I felt. My body, previously a friendly plaything, became a circus side-show of horrors where the mirrors never returned to normal, even after I left the tent.

But Naomi, you golden-haired goddess. If I'd been pregnant in a similarly doe-eyed, thin-faced, pregnancy-dust manner, manifesting your "bump" only in expensive Pea in the Pod swathed mini-belly, instead of the tent-like Target muumuus normal gals like me sport, I'd have loved every bloody minute of it. Especially of I got to come home (all 110 pounds of me) to Liev Schrieber at night.

Liev Schreiber Confirms Girlfriend Naomi Watts' Pregnancy

Alisyn — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 20:03:00 GMT

After Naomi Watts refused to comment on her pregnancy at the Oscars, and a renegade Escada PR person took it upon herself to comment for her, Liev Schreiber has gallantly come forward to confirm that he and Naomi are, indeed, expecting their first baby this summer.

Sounds like pregnancy is taking its toll on Naomi - and she's taking it out on her boyfriend. He told Conan O'Brien "I'm trying to stay out of it all. I'm trying not to make any decisions, [because] everything that I try to do in service of her or the coming baby is wrong. So I really don't even go to my house much anymore."

Ouch. Good luck, Liev. And mozel tov!

Naomi Watts Expecting First Child with Boyfriend King Kong, I Mean, Liev Schreiber

Naomi Watts, the actress best known for acting against a green screen and being able to express "wonderment" 1,597 different ways, is expecting her first child with her actor-boyfriend of two years, Liev Schreiber.

Watts is currently in her second trimester and a source (probably not "best friend forever" Nicole Kidman) says that she isn't accepting any roles until after the baby is born. Same source says she'll be "such a great mom."

Thank goodness she's an expert, that expression will come in handy when she becomes a mother.
