I don't know what the big deal is..I'll take any of those over Bill, Bob or Tom.
As far as the kids being teased when they are older, that usually happens to geeky kids, and it's usually their equally geeky parents, that are afraid of them being teased, because they grew up being so uncool themselves.
Most celebrities have natural swagger, and I'm sure this will be passed on genetically to their kids..so getting teased at school..blah, whatever, they will be too cool for that.

I heard a rumor that Andre/Eryka's son is named Seven because it can never be divided by two.

Seven can be divided by two - it is 3.5. Apparently they don't believe in fractions?

Apple is a horrible name! I can't warm to it in any way and I don't hate most of the weird names. It just doesn't sound pretty. At least Audio sounds like Mario.
Am I weird that I really love Camera? Not that I would name my child that. It just sounds nice when you say it out loud.
Zuma is pretty bad too. It sounds like a annoying plastic toy or a bad lifestyle website.

Jeez!! Apple and Moses should not even be on this list based on the insanity of the other names. I feel bad now for thinking bad things of their mommy and daddy. This list makes Demi and Bruce appear normal with the names they picked.
The thing is....I have known people with odd names. As an example, I had a friend named "Trophy".... after a month of saying it, it is like Lisa or something, not a bid deal. However, I do wonder what the maturity level is of these "celebrity" parents? Are they trying to get attention? Like they need any more attention? Is noting in life serious for them? It just shows how "out of touch" with the real world and very immature most of these people are!!

I know I'm waaay in the minority here, but I actually like the name Apple -- the sound of it, and the connotation. Still, it's one of those names that you worry will shape the kid's destiny. The honorable Judge Apple Martin? Senator Apple Martin? I guess it's better than most of the other ones on the list.
As for Moses: love it. Mose Martin is a kickass name.

I like the name Apple too. As for Zuma, my grandmother was named Zuma by her German immigrant parents in the 1920s. However they changed her name to Celeste in the first few years of her life.

Zuman is the name of the new President of South Africa. Maybe that is who they named him or her, whatever it is, after. I like Nestea though. Maybe htey got a kickback for product placement on that one. Peanut is the dumbest name ever. Those morons think they are the ONLY people in the world who called their fetus "peanut"? Every freaking body calls their fetus peanut. Camaro is a nice name. Nice car too.

Funny list... although the comment about Calico... I think it's distasteful to talk about your cat DYING.. these are real people here and while talking about their name is like slowing down to look at a car accident any talk of dying is not classy...

I'm guilty of liking the name Apple too. And she's got a bunch of normal middle names so she can go by A. Blythe Martin if she wants.
The Naked Chef dude named his kids Poppy and Daisy, I think, plus odd middle names. Why doesn't he ever get mentioned in these lists. And, yes, Poppy and Daisy are just flowers, but Apple? That's a blossom and a fruit, but kind of a biggie one -- old testament and all.
Oh, and Bindi Sue, the dead croc guy's daughter? That's on a par with Apple.
In terms of names of senators and judges, let us not forget names like Thurogood (sp), Lindsay (Graham). Also, I saw a report recently on a Colorado legislator whose name is Bunny or Buffy or something. So, you know, names aren't actually a deal-breaker.

People don't fuss over Poppy and Daisy because they are both actual names. Poppy is unusual, but Daisy is actually pretty common in the UK. And I, for one, wouldn't have a problem with Apple Martin as a name if it didn't sound so much like Apple Martini. Because nothing is classier than naming your kid after a trendy mixed drink.

Inspektor is a very old and respected Hungarian Jewish name. maybe Penn Jillette or the child's mother have a Hungarian Jewish grandfather or great-grandfather?

The list looses all credibility in my view for not including Frank Zappa's kids, Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet Emuukha Rodan and Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen. Ahmet is fine, but the rest...

I seriously don't understand this compulsion to diss' celebrity's baby names. Especially Apple. What is the big freakin' deal that she named her kid after a fruit? People love names like Rain and Leaf and River and Cherry... and Apple. Sounds fine to me.

The American actress Gretchen Mol has a son named Ptolemy. This name just smacks of intellectual pretense.
Sometimes legit names suck, too. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett named their children Willow and Jaden in honour of themselves. Now that is ego.

Naming always was a difficult task, because parents understand, that the name will follow their offspring all the life.
Names for babies have their fashions too. There were waves of Slavic and Hispanic names, and now aristocratic, or royal names are the newest craze of newborn babies' parents.
What is your opinion on this trend in children's names? Is it worth to pick aristocratic name for your little stroller king or queen; or is it better to go simple, and, let's say, start your own family tradition by naming your little wonder by one of the grandparents? - http://www.votetheday.com/society-18/aristocratic-names-300/

On Kal-El: I can say with certainty that Nicolas Cage's kid has no superpowers or x-ray vision, because he wasn't looking where he was going and crashed headlong into me once. Cage owns a house in New Orleans a few blocks from where I live and work. I was walking down the street and this little tornado came out of nowhere yelling DADDYDADDYDADDYDADDY and crashed right into my legs and fell over (luckily, he wasn't hurt). I looked up, and the kid's daddy was Nicolas Cage.
On Apple: A friend's three-year-old son has an imaginary life which mainly consists of having a career as a race-car driver and having a daughter named "Grape," and even he thought that "the lady who named her baby Apple was just being silly."
On Kyd: Mr. Duchovny, didn't your grade school teachers tell you that only goats have kids? And didn't you learn how to spell somewhere along the line?

I'm surprised you didn't cite Bruce Willis and Demi Moore for their daughters' names. When I first heard the name "Apple" I immediately thought of a gentleman from our town whose real name was Orange. I kid you not. He's been dead for years, but he would probably be over 100 by now. I couldn't help but think how cute it would be if Apple ever had a little brother and they named him Orange. (Just joking), but point being, strange names have been around for years.

Makes me suspect their parenting skills. Anyone who would do that to a kid makes me wonder. What did that poor kid ever do to you. And it is not just celebs who stick stupid monikers on their kids.
