Reply:I thik just coz, they are famous and they knows that evreyone will talk about their baby, so the name must be cool, something new . I like the name of Nicole Richies girl, very beautifull name for a girl.

Reply:they like publicity.





and idiot magazines like OK! will pay thenm a trillion dollars/pounds to just pose with their poor little child, and broadcast its face to the world.





Then, when it grows up, itll have such a sheltered life that the poor kid wont know what a "normal" name is, coz its schooling will be at home, and its holidays in Mustique.





it can change its name at 16 though =]

Reply:They are just into one upmanship on the baby names stake. It probably makes them feel more cool.

Reply:No, I think it's because they just can't accept that their baby is anything other than totally, uniquely more special than any other baby ever born (which is what we all feel, but they KNOW it), so Jane, Sarah, Louise just won't do! : )

Reply:Because they are stupid.





And they have lost touch with reality.





Children are an accessory to them.
Reply:LOLS- if they dont have weird names? will they ever get publicity?
Reply:Celebrities ... because of their fame, money, power, etc. usually end up with a whole bunch of "yes-men" surrounding them - stroking their egos - and nobody tells 'em "HEY, that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard!" ... or ... "Yo *****, put on some panties before you go out in front of those paparazzi" ... or ... "Are you crazy? Naming your kid that is borderline child abuse!"





... look at the actress from "A Knight's Tale" who named her kid Audio-Science... (...really, I kid you not - look it up!)
Reply:because they are celebrities and crave attention, god help their kids when they are adults tho lol
Reply:Whats in a name? It can make a big difference, but these long phonetically incorrect names are difficult when the children go to school.
Reply:I think they just want more attention for their outrageous choosings..
Reply:They think it makes their life more significant if they are unique - loads of people make up bs names for their kids... not just celebrities...
