Chris Evans new twins

Ah, thanks muffin
Lucky kids!

Words fail me muffin

Moon Unit’s his daughter, her brother is Dweezil

I'm sure Frank Zappa's son was called MoonUnit.

barbara Hershey’s kid. Her stage name at the time was Seagull. Changed his name to Tom as a young kid IIRC

I can remember being amazed to read years ago, that David Carradine (he of Kung Fu fame) had named his son Free Seagull. I wonder if the lad changed it later?

True Pamela

Jalima- if the children turn out like their parents they won’t be embarrassed.

Boo makes me think of Boo Radlay, To Kill A Mockingbird

Frank Sinatra and daughter Nancy.

Judy Garland and daughter Liza

Martin Sheen and son Charlie

Kirk Douglas and son Michael

Just a small number, many more

In utero we had Ethelred (the unready) and Arabella (as in little Arabella Miller and her caterpillar)

They turned out to be the same sex as their in utero names and with some similar personal characteristics. Wouldn't dare call DC by those names now.

Is it fair to give children names that could embarrass them in later life?

and NannyJan and Alima too - sorry.

Willow, Elrel and gillybob

I have a book on the bookshelf behind me which is an autobiography (I think) of Evelyn Laye, an English actress, who was known as 'Boo'.

gillybob, I know, is too young to remember her!

Maybe you were thinking of Moses the cat in the lovely song.......”Jessie” ?

I thought “Boo”was what you shouted when you jumped out and surprised someone ?? Maybe she did.

Yes I think it was a dog Willow I quite like that song

Bluebelle Duncan Jones was always his legal name. It was his mum who called him Zowie Bowie until she lost custody of him.

He is a very good film director nowadays.

Boo was the little girl in Monsters Inc. Or was that a nickname?

There is a member of some pop group or other, some of his children are Geronimo, Artemis, Galileo

They are talking about using Ping & Pong as middle names Minimoon . No thought given to the poor children saddled with these ridiculous names. Shouldn't really expect anything better from a washed up DJ with a huge ego.

I think it started long before the Beckhams Day6 it seems a very long time ago when David Bowie had Zowie Bowie I think the boy later changed it to Duncan

Or was it a dog?

I'm sure there's a song in there somewhere - 'Me and you and a cat named Boo!'

Chris Evans other two sons are called Noah and Eli. He's says that Boo and Walt are not short for anything. I don't mind Walt, but poor little girl! I hope they give her a decent middle name.

I remember Robbie Williams telling the tale of seeing Gwyneth Paltrow and her daughter for the first tine at some 'do'. She stood next to him at the buffet and he was a bit starstruck, not knowing how to strike up a conversation. Eventually he plucked up courage and said 'Would melon like some apple?'
