Another Lovely Name?

[Barsel]

I'm afraid I'm being a bit sarcastic, but another baby has been born to a celebrity couple, Steve and Alex Gerrard and they have called their baby, Lio. Not Leo or Lionel, no, Lio. It was reported during the week that Cheryl and Liam have called their baby Bear, and it seems they are not the only ones to use this name.! Just to amuse me, can you tell me of other celebrities or non-celebrities that have given their baby (shall we say) an unusual name.I'll start off by saying Gwyneth Paltrow and Apple.

My parents and I don't thank them for it.

[Zacs-Master]

Bob Geldof David Bowie and Frank Zappa.

Just another silly affectation IMHO....Perhaps they couldn't spell Leo properly !

[-Talbot-]

Some names are pathetic but I wouldn't put a variation of Leo in that category.

[Barsel]

Zacs, I know David Bowie and Bob Geldoff but not Frank Zeppa. What did he call his children?

[Zacs-Master]

Moon Unit was his son.

[Zacs-Master]

Oops, sorry, daughter.

[Barsel]

The thing is Talbot, all through his life, when he is asked for his name, it will probably be spelt Leo.I suppose it doesn't make any difference to some, but I don't like it when people spell my name wrong.

Thanks for the link Mamya. Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet and Diva are the names of Zappa's children. My word! Just thought of another. Princess, Katie Price/Peter Andre.

My dads middle name was Douglas. Following a trip to The IOM by granny and grandad.....and he was born in 1932. So not a new thing at all.

[Islay]

Why get so worked up over what someone calls their child?

[Barsel]

Not worked up at all Islay, I find it quite amusing.

rivers sisters are summer ,rain,liberty

[Barsel]

Probably not amusing for the children though.
NEW YORK — The youngest son of the late Michael Jackson is changing his name after he was bullied for years. According to Radar Online, Blanket Jackson, 13, informally changed his name to Bigi before entering middle school. Born Michael Jackson Jr., the teen hated being bullied because he was called Blanket

Its up to the parents what they call their kids, but I can't really see the point in deliberately misspelling a child's name, knowing full well that he will be asked to clarify why its spelt that way his whole life.

Seems very selfish of the parents IMHO.
