Fall Out Baby

Someone needs to put a moratorium on celebrities giving their babies idiot names. This time around, popster wife Ashlee Simpson gave birth to her son with husband Pete Wentz of Chicago's Fall Out Boy. The kid's name? Bronx Mowgli Wentz. No, we're not making this shit up. The Bronx is a borough of New York City and Mowgli is the name of the main character of The Jungle Book. According to a spokesperson, "Ashlee, Pete and baby Bronx are all healthy and happy, and thank everyone for their well wishes!" Well, that's good, because that poor kid is going to have his named mocked for the rest of his life. No word if the child was born with eyeliner already applied.

When I read that earlier today I looked up "Mowgli" on Wikipedia to see if it meant anything. I was treated with the following vandalism which made me lawl, though it is no longer on the Mowgli page:

from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mowgli

Many experts have concluded that Mowgli is a terrible name for a dog. This has been confirmed in several studies throughout the World, particularly in Great Britain. "Singer"-songwriter Ashlee Simpson recently named her first child "Mowgli." These same studies also confirm that Mowgli is a terrible name for a child.

David and Victoria Beckham named their kid Brooklyn

Now Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz name their kid Bronx

Two down, three to go!

Which celebs name their kid
-Queens
-Manhattan
-Staten Island
?

"Dude, your parents are fucking idiots."

-- Everyone this kid will ever meet

Penn Jillette named one of his kids "Moxy Crimefighter" and the other "Zoltan"

It's not that the names are bad, but they scream "Hey! Look! I'm superficially different and wacky!"

Give no warning, strike from stealth.

The kid's parents are Ashlee Simpson and bass player from Fall Out Boy. You really think people are gonna pick on him for his name?!?

good one Ontology...but by the time that kid is in school, will anyone even know who Ashlee Simpson and Fall OUt Boy are?

At least they didn't go with their first choice, Staen Island Baloo.
