Worst Celebrity Baby Names of 2008

<p><img alt="" src="http://yourtango.s3.amazonaws.com/story-page-img/article_images/spl33624_038.jpg" align="right" width="240" height="180">Ever think that your parents saddled you with a strange name? Thinking about making your new baby’s name unique? Take heed: some of the more unusual names are just straight up strange and will cause your kid grief for years. Take pity on these Hollywood kids who were saddled with these horrible <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.yourtango.com/20085863/2008-the-year-of-celeb-babies.html">celebrity baby</a> names:</p> <p><strong>Bronx Mowgli Wentz</strong> is the new son of <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.yourtango.com/20087626/pete-wentz-loves-ashlee-s-breasts">Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson Wentz</a>, this has to be the worst baby name of the year. A New York borough coupled with a name from The Jungle Book? We hope this kid learns to fight at an early age.</p> <p><strong>Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale</strong>, the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.yourtango.com/20086452/gwen-stefanis-new-baby-mel-cs-news.html">second son </a> of rockers Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, also have an unfortunate moniker. Maybe this will grow on us, but it sounds too much like the malt beverage Zima for us to focus on any real spiritual value. Big brother Kingston might have to stick up for his little brother on the playground.</p> <p><strong>Jagger Joseph Blue Goldberg</strong> is the name of Soleil Moon-Frye and Joseph Goldberg’s daughter. Jagger alone is kind of cool but Jagger and Joseph together for a little girl is a just asking for kids to pick on her. Adding Blue to the mix is just cruel.</p> <p><strong>Barnaby Borstein Douglas</strong>, the son of Alex Borstein and Jackson Douglas, will have to live with what are surely two family names. This name just brings to mind tweeds, black socks on the beach and grandfatherly pipes.</p> <p><strong>Sophocles Iraia Clement</strong>, the son of Jermaine Clement and Miranda Manasiadis, may not have immediately noteworthy parents but the name they’ve saddled him with should not make him hard to forget. What more do you say to this name than just, “Sorry, kid.”</p> <p>Written by <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.yourtango.com/users/kristin-booker">Kristin Booker</a> for <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.yourtango.com">YourTango&#39;s</a> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.yourtango.com/blogs/celeb-love">Celebrity Love Blog</a></p><p>More From <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.yourtango.com/blogs/celeb-love">Celeb Love</a>:</p><ul> <li><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.yourtango.com/20087093/10-men-sexier-than-hugh-jackman">10 Men Sexier Than Hugh Jackman</a></li> <li><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.yourtango.com/20087829/top-ten-eligible-hollywood-bachelors">Top Ten Eligible Hollywood Bachelors</a></li> <li><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.yourtango.com/20087209/are-robert-pattinson-and-camilla-belle-dating">Are Robert Pattinson and Camilla Belle Dating? </a></li> <li><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.yourtango.com/20086778/five-oddest-hollywood-marriages">Five Oddest Hollywood Marriages</a></li> <li><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.yourtango.com/20087091/celebrity-fetishes-you-wanna-know">Celebrity Fetishes You Wanna Know</a></li> </ul>

    Its just a contest between celebs as to who can come up with the most out there names! They should go a head and pre-reserve their kid's place in rehab right now.

    JEmaine Clement...and anyway, he's technically foreign....but I think it's cute and a little low key - for a celebrity name
