[Opinions] "The Year in Unusual Celebrity Baby Names"
Some of these have already been posted, of course, but this is a 'recap' *wink*, and there are several that I haven't seen mentioned here. Click here for the article http://www.celebrity-babies.com/2007/12/unusual-baby-na.html , which includes a quote from Penn Jillette (his kids are Moxie & Zoltan) who thinks it's "cruel" to give a child a name that everyone else has. :bHere are the 2007 'unusual' celeb babies (from Nov. back)...
Alabama Gypsyrose
Ever Gabo (f)

Everly Bear (m)
Ptolemy John

Kimaya Thais
Zaiya

Personally, I like Ever, Ptolemy, Thais, Ammon, Elias, Jasper, Ursula, Bowie Vincent, Basil, and Gable. I particularly dislike
Alabama Gypsyrose, Kimaya, Jersi Grace, Kelson Noel, Jasa Azuré (and all 3 of her sisters' names), Princess Tiaamii, Alimayu Moa-T, and Nianni Chay.

Most of them are appalling. I wish celebrities would stop thinking giving names to their children as some sort of publicity stunt.
