10 Ridiculous Names Celebs Gave Their Babies
They're all blood-boilingly annoying, so brace yourself.
Fame is a burden which seems to take a toll on a great deal of the people who achieve it. Once a person breaks into the upper echelons of celebrity status, it would appear that all sense of rational thought and reasoning simply falls out of their head. Some begin to act like the Hedonism Bot from Futurama, flouncing around with an entourage that could successfully mount a siege on Vienna; and others suddenly discover that they are in fact the next body of Christ, and must be worshipped as a deity in designer gear. Others decide it's a good idea to sign up to Scientology, but I best not make a comment on that, or I'll soon have a date with a judge. However, the most startlingly common trait of insanity amongst celebrities also happens to be one which we mere mortals find the most irritating: the giving of ridiculous names to their children. Yes, it's their business, it's their kids and we should have no opinion on the matter, but some of the examples you'll find are simply too annoying to ignore. The children with the worst names of the bunch face a childhood of relentless bullying until they reach their teen years and either have their tormentors "removed" by mummy and daddy's connections, or they head themselves right on down to city hall to change their name. The example most of you will already know comes from Michael Jackson, a man not known for having the firmest of grasps on reality in the first place. First of all, he named his first born son Prince Michael Jackson I (who now goes by Michael Jackson Jnr.), then he named his daughter Paris-Michael Jackson, and if that wasn't bizarre enough, he chose to call his third child and second son, Prince Michael Jackson II. But, to make it more manageable for the youngest, he then began calling him "Blanket", so there you have it, a man with a great deal of infamy regarding rumours of his personal life, and he calls his youngest son "Blanket", it's just...weird. But in this list we'll be looking at the most irritating of the lot, regardless of whether or not the celebrity is A-List or was just in that one movie in 1982. They're all blood-boilingly annoying, so brace yourself.
