As I’m sure you’ve already heard, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale welcomed their new son, Zuma Nesta Rock, into the world on August 21st. With a name like that (and seriously, after reading the following, this name barely registers a “meh” on the unique-o-meter), it prompts us to dust off the archives of celebrity baby names. From the unusual file:

· Rumor, Scout, and Tallulah (Bruce Willis and Demi Moore)

· Apple and Moses (Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin)

· Moxie CrimeFighter (Penn Jillette)

· Rocket, Racer, Rebel, and Rogue (Director Robert Rodriguez)

· Dweezil, Ahmet, Moon Unit, and Diva Muffin (Frank Zappa)

· Ever Gabo (Milla Jovovich and Paul Anderson)

· Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily (Michael Hutchence and Paula Yates)

· Banjo (Rachel Griffiths)

· Duncan Zowie Heywood Jones (David Bowie)

· Fifi Trixiebelle, Peaches Honeyblossom, and Little Pixie (Bob Geldof)

· Pilot Inspektor (Jason Lee)

Just to name a few. “Heavenly” and “Ever” ? Those are adverbs. “Little” and “Rogue” ? Adjectives. “Banjo”  ? Musical instrument made famous by the movie Deliverance. “CrimeFighter” and “Pilot Inspektor” ? Those are job descriptions and one of them belonging to Batman. And when you name your child Diva are you just asking for the worst case of terrible twos ever? That would be “ever” as in: to great extent or degree; not as in “Ever Gabo”: the person.
