Oh, those wacky, wacky celebrities

Recently, I was reading an online news feed, and one of the headlines heralded the advent of Robert Downey Jr's new child, hinting at the peculiar nature of the little fella's name. So, being a diligent fan of RDJ, I clicked on the link to read all about it.

Exton Elias is the diminutive Downey's moniker, and that first name isn't as weird as it might have been. I mean, let's face it, some high-profile celebrities (and some more-famous-in-their-own-minds-than-to-the-general-populace celebrity wannabes) have come up with some incredibly odd, somewhat weird, downright stupid names for their offspring. For example:

Audio Silence - son of Shannyn Sossamon/Dallas Clayton

Moxie Crimefighter - daughter of Penn and Emily Jillette

Pilot Inspektor - son of Jason and Beth Lee

Kal-El - son of Nicolas Cage/Alice Kim (although I am surprised at the tame nature of this nutjob's choice)

Speck Wildhorse - son of John Mellencamp/Elaine Irwin

Sparrow James Midnight - son of Nicole Richie/Joel Madden

Bluebell Madonna - daughter of Geri Halliwell/Sacha Gervasi

Banjo Patrick - son of Rachel Griffith/Andrew Taylor

Kyd Miller - son of David Duchovney/Tea Leoni (more cute and kitchy than weird)

Elijah Bob Patricius Guggi Q - son of Bono/Ali Hewson

Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha - son (or pet) of Lisa Bonet/Jason Momoa

Daisy Boo (&) Poppy Honey - daughters of Jamie Oliver/Jools Norton

Reignbeau - daughter of Ving Rhames/Deborah Reed (a little gender-schmeared, poor kid)

Jermajesty - son of Jermaine and Alejandra Jackson (figures....what a strange clan of people)

Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen (&) Moon Unit - daughters of Frank Zappa. But let's not forget his sons, Dweezil and Ahmet. Personally, I think Ahmet got off easy.

I will refrain from ranting on, as I think this list speaks for itself.......sadly. There are so many questions one could ask, but if I got started I would never quit. Then there's the whole matter of how muddled my brain would be if I did ask "why ?" and ponder over any of it any further. So, let's quit while we're ahead and laughing, eh?

Thank you for the hilarity this morning, you wacky, wacky celebrities.
