Help[Opinions] Celebs explain the names they chose 2008
Okay, I wasn't sure whether this should go in the lounge or opinions and I settled on here.
This is basically a list of explanations that celebrities gave on how they chose the name of their child that was born in 2008.
Harlow Winter Kate, daughter of Joel Madden and Nichole Richie:
---------------------------------------------------------------
Joel explained, "I really like Jean Harlow the actress, and [Nicole] likes Shalom Harlow the model. Harlow's cool because it feels like a classic name. Winter [is] so serene and quiet and that's how [our daughter] is."
Max Liron Bratman, son of Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman:
----------------------------------------------------------------
While Max was rumored to be their name of choice, Liron is Hebrew for "my song" or "my joy" and honors Jordan's Jewish background.
Maximilian David and Emme Maribel Munez, twins of Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Though the choices for their twins' first names were never explained, the middles names of Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony's twins honor family members of the couple. David celebrates Jennifer's father, while Maribel was the name of Marc's sister, who passed away after battling a brain tumor.
Shaya Braven Charvet, son of Brooke Burke and David Charvet:
------------------------------------------------------------
Of their name choice, Brooke said, "We played with so many different names, and both loved Shaya the most. It means 'God's gift' in Hebrew. David came up with a middle name, Braven."
Honor Marie Warren, daughter of Jessica Alba and Cash Warren:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Jessica shared, "One of my friends said, 'If I ever had a girl – but I'm not having any more kids – I would name her Honor.' I said, 'That's a great name for a boy or a girl.'" Jessica – whose middle name is Marie, too – shared that she and Cash wanted their daughter's name to be different than the norm.
Stella Doreen McDermott, daughter of Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"I used to be obsessed with the book Great Expectations," said Tori. "Estella was the main character. It wasn't fitting, though. And then one day, Dean was like, 'What about Stella?' I said, 'That's it!'" Doreen was Dean's late mother's name.
Maddie Briann Aldridge, daughter of Jamie Lynn Spears and Casey Aldridge:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Jamie Lynn said, "Maddie is a name that Casey thought of, and I really liked it." Briann is in honor of Casey's cousin and close friend, Brian, who was killed in a car accident, as well as Jamie Lynn's older brother Bryan.
Sunday Rose Kidman-Urban, daughter of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Nicole Kidman's father first suggested the name Sunday in honor of Australian patron of the arts Sunday Reed. She and husband Keith Urban "loved" the name, but for more than that reason: "That's our favorite day," Nicole explained. "If you're lonely, Sunday is a very lonely day, and if you're happy and you've got your family around you, then Sunday is a beautiful day."
Levi Alves McConaughey, son of Camilla Alves and Matthew McConaughey:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"Our son was born at 6:22 p.m., and this particular time represents my favorite verse in the book of Matthew in The Bible: 'If thy eye be single, thy whole body will be full of light,'" Matthew shared. Levi is another name for Matthew in the Bible, and Alves was chosen to honor Camila's family.
Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt, twins of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
While Marcheline is a tribute to Angelina's late mother, "the name Vivienne came to us early, as if she named herself," said Brad. "She has always been Viv." Knox is named after Brad's grandfather, while Léon "is a classic French name."
Bronx Mowgli Wentz, son of Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz:
---------------------------------------------------------------
"We came up with the idea Bronx," said Pete. "We'd been throwing it back and forth a while ago. Rudyard Kipling is really cool and The Jungle Book is something me and Ashlee bonded over."

The explanation for how Bronx Mowgli got his name is hilariously stupid compared to the others.

Interesting how they didn't have any real explaination for Bronx. They couldn't just say: "we needed a name that would draw media attention, and we thought a neighbourhood highly notorious for its crime, violence and poverty would do the trick."
The other certains aren't the worse celeb names, the ones that just scream "publicity stunt".

Interesting. Well, at least they have reasons for picking such atrocities.
