Who'd have a celebrity as a parent?

Noted large-breasted person Jordan recently gave birth to a child. Now, last time such a happy event occurred, she decided to call it 'Junior'. Yes, that's the child's actual name. Stupid, sure, but tame by celebrity standards. This time 'round, the gloves were off. This child is called 'Princess TiƔamii'. It gets worse. The reason that she didn't call it 'Tinkerbell' is not that 'Tinkerbell' is a bloody stupid name for a child, but that too many celebrities have called their dog that. You have to wonder does this woman read the papers and cringe when she sees what nonsense she's been spouting.

The whole stupid name thing has become almost standard in the last few years for children of celebrities. Have the parents even vaguely considered, though, how the children will get through life with such egregiously stupid names? Form of child abuse, if you ask me. Their children will suffer in the future so that the parents can get into the paper for a few days with their oh-so-clever names.

And you know the worst of it? Jordan won "Celebrity mum of the year" a while ago. I hate to think what less optimal celebrity mums are like...

    Yes, I believe it is. I'd imagine, for instance, that if you did a study comparing depression rates in people with normal names and people with insane names their parents made up to get in the paper (assuming you could find enough of them) the results might be interesting.

    That's funny, recieving a lousy name is a form of child abuse! Ha! It could have been worse.
