What's with the celebrity trend to name your child the most ridiculous name?

Why do you think celebs name their children such ridiculous names?

Case in point:

Gwen and Gavin's sons - ZUMA Nesta Rock Rossdale and Kingston James McGregor Rossdale.

Ashley Simpsons son - BRONX Mogley Wentz

Nicholas cage named his son Kal-El after superman.

Jason Lee's son - Pilot Inspektor

Gwyneth Paltrow - daughter Apple

Courtney cox - Coco

Sylvester Stallone - Sage Moonblood.

Bono - Memphis Eve.

Forest Whitticker - OCEAN

Robert Rodriguez - rocket Rodriguez

The edge (from U2) - Blue Angel.

This is one of my fav's - jermaine Jackson named his son Jermajesty Jackson!!

Frank Zappa - Moon Unit and Diva Thin Muffin

Shannyn Sossamon - Audio Science!!!

I could go on and on but it's getting really long so I'll leave it at that. So why do celebs do this to that children???

    Because celebrities have enough money to shield their offspring from reality. Those kids will never have to go to public school, will never have to meet 'normal' unpretentious people and will not be forced to associate themselves with people they don't like.

    Us normal people do not have that luxury, and yet we follow their despicable trends like sheep, trying to get a little taste of the limelight. Unfortunately, we haven't yet figured out that, due to our lack of wealth and prestige, our little Harper Seven's, our Apple's and our Blue Ivy's are going to get the stuffing kicked out of them throughout life; and there will be no sympahty for them once they have to go out into the world and find jobs. After all, a potential boss isn't going to take a look at a woman's resume, scrunch up his nose and say:

    "Ronnie Elizabeth - that's so cute and yooneek! You're hired!!!"

    I pity those children...

    I really don't know and some are insane! Although, some I really do like. Those being:

    Blue Ivy Carter (Beyonce & Jay-Z's daughter)

    Blue is a calm and simple name, just like the colour and I love the meaning of "Ivy". Google why they named their daughter that.

    Harper Seven (David & Victoria Beckham's daughter)

    I admit, Harper isn't my favourite name every, but "Seven" has a meaning and its unique. Google it too.

    Some of them are crazy! I guess they want something that stands out and gets people talking about them.

    My wife and I want something unique for our baby. And when my family asked us what names we had, and we told them so far we liked - Noah, Dakota, Willow and Presley. They thought they were stupid and crazy. But honestly, I don't think they're that 'Out there'. We just don't want our kid to be 1 of 10 Jack or Ashley's.

    omg HAHAHAHHAHHAHHAHHA HOW HILARIOUS IS THAT! XDDDDDD I'm so glad I don't live in the US XD If I'd ever meet those kids, wow... as mean as it is, you just HAVE to make fun of their names. they're ridiculas! Maybe it's just for attention? They always say they wants their children to stay away from camera's and all the attention, but secretly they love it.
