weird baby names

Posted: Fri Apr 20, 2007 5:24 pm

i have just read an article about geri halliwells baby being called bluebell i feel so sorry for this poor soul What is it about celebrities that leads so many of them to come up with such strange and indulgent- I mean such wonderfully creative- baby names?

Our culture looks up to celebrities- even kinda- what's the word- celebrates them. When millions of people believe you are special, you probably start to believe it to. And so naturally believe your children will be extra unique as well- and so deserve a name just as unique as they are... Anyway, whatever the reasons, there's no shortage of strange baby names of celebs and famous people.
