[Opinions] Most bizarre celeb BA I've ever seen... (Edited)
Chris Evans, a famous radio DJ here in the UK has named his two twins:Ping and Pong.Their older children are named Eli, Noah and Jade (f).https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-45585070Edit: ok, I realise now (long day!) that these are place holder names, but he still felt that those names are what he wanted to announce them as. Names are, after all, titles we go by, even if these aren't permanent.

Apparently Ping is really Boo...I don't htink that makes it any better :( I think I might even be Ping rather than Boo.Pong is really Walt, which is at least a proper name, even if it isn't something I'd ever go for.

I thought the same thing, that the real names aren't much better than Ping and Pong!

No, say it's not so!
Naming one twin a stupid endearment not even respectable enough to be the name of a cat, and the other a regular proper name?
I'm disgusted if they really did that.
Agree, I'd rather be Ping than Boo. By far.

Yeah, I saw the title of the story earlier today and thought the same, until I actually read it. Thought it was a little clickbaity, but no harm done haha.

Relax, they're pseudonymsIn his statement announcing their birth, Chris referred to his newborn children under pseudonyms.“Ping and Pong arrived safe and well last night. Ping popped her head out at 22:10, Pong popped his head out 12 minutes later,” he said.https://www.ok.co.uk/lifestyle/mum-and-baby/1470810/chris-evans-baby-name-wife-natasha-shishmanian-twins-ivf-meaning-called-what

It's much cuter than referring to them as Baby A and Baby B, isn't it?

I hope I'm reading it correctly and they are the 'working titles' of their children, meaning that their real names will still follow later? I really really hope so. I can't imagine people with Eli, NOah and Jade suddenly going Ping Pong...

Wow, I hope these are not the names they're actually gonna use...
Wasn't there a rumour about Grace Slick naming her child GOD (although she really choose China, I think)?

I'm pretty certain those are not their real names! :-)Also I think one is a boy and one is a girl, not two girls.

Um, I know the article is from The Beeb, but are you sure it's not fake or those aren't just placeholders for their real names?I ask about the fake part bc when Louis Tomlinson and his ex had his son Freddie, there was a rumor going around for a while after he was born that his name was actually Conchobhar.
