And I thought the founder of Lear jets, Bill Lear, was cruel to name his daughter Shanda! Check out what some stars have named their kids:

David and Victoria (Posh Spice) Beckham: Romeo
Cate Blanchett: Dashiell (named after "The Maltese Falcon" author, Dashiell Hammett)
"The Practice's" Camryn Manheim: Milo
Pierce Brosnan: Paris
"ER's" Alex Kingston: Salome Violetta
Frank Zappa: Moon Unit, Diva, Dweezil, and Ahmet Emuukha Rodan
Demi Moore and Bruce Willis: Rumer Glenn, Scout LaRue, and Tallulah Belle
John Mellencamp: Hud and Speck Wildhorse
Liam Gallagher: Lennon Francis
Cindy Crawford: Presley
Billy Ray Cyrus: Braison Chance and Destiny Hope
U2's Bono: Memphis Eve and Elijah Bob Patricius Guggi Q

Oh my! I really feel sorry for those kids!!

Well, on a more positive note, at least they would be unique.

We have some of those names in our family.

I think if I were to present the list to some relatives, they’d pick “Milo” as the weirdest being that they’d probably see it as naming a child “Nestle,” “Quik,” or “Ovaltine.”

Perhaps because I come from the same family where we have people at least of a quarter of all males’ first names ending in a “-son,” “-don, ”or “-ton” (Like “Richardson” “Sheldon,” or “Lexington”) and people actually named “Barrister” among other uniques, I like some of the names on the list.

For example, “Ahmet” is a very nice name.

“Braison” isn’t so bad either. . . Oh no! Perhaps the apple really doesn’t fall too far from the tree

David Bowie named his child Zowie

I think the gold medal must go to Frank Zappa - I mean, can anyone top the names Moon Unit and Dweezil! Really!!

About what I was saying about the name Milo, last night I was speaking to my mother and I jokingly said that if I have children, I think I'll name one of them Milo.

Her immediate response was, "Are you going to name the other Cocoa Tea?"

I know I said that if I asked my relatives about the name they'd probably see it as naming a child Quik, Nestle, or Ovaltine, but since my mother equated it to naming a child "Cocoa Tea" (another beverage), I don't think I was too far off with my assumption.

I have a cousin named Destiny ( like Billy Ray's kid) But we call her Dessy or Des. *Cute* I think Milo's a cute name. Maybe it's because I have a crush on actor Milo Ventilmiglia? Perhaps. Didn't Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger name their daughter Ireland? That's pretty!

Michael Jackson named one of his kids Paris, and I think he has two named Prince.

Milo, according to the Oxford Dictionary of First Names,is the latinised form of Miles. It is also used in Ireland as a pet name.This would account for the name of Actor Milo O'Shea, among others.

Harry Anderson (star of "Night Court") named his son Dashiell also.

Paula Yates would be hard to beat with Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches Honeyblossom, Pixie and Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily.

As far as I'm concerned Milo is a perfectly normal name. I'm aware of the drink Milo, but I also know of a number of people named Milo.

...though I read somewhere that VANESSA CARLTON is going to name her first kid Lowfat Milk With High Calcium And No Recombinant Bovine Somatotropin CARLTON.

And No Recombinant Bovine Somatotropin

Would that be the parsimonious version, Cool?

They are indeed parsimonious but they also demand a lot of attention.

Adding George Foreman and his five sons to this list:
George Jr., George III, George IV, George V, George VI.

Of his five daughters, he restrained himself a bit, however, one is called Freeda George and another is named Georgetta.

Hmm, in elementary school my class had a pet tarantula named tallulah...

Off the subject.... but I LOVE your icon, Misty!

Why thank you!! It is absolutely adorable... I fell in love with it the moment I saw it. Your dragon's cute too!
