Here`re some unusual names: Audio Science (Shannyn Sossamon), Banjo

(Rachel Griffiths), Puma (Erykah Badu), Pilot Inspektor (Jason Lee),

Hermajesty (Jermaine Jackson), Denim (Toni Braxton), God’iss Love (Lil`

Mo).



According to Guardian, most likely, celebrities think that a fabulous

name will somehow provide fame to their children. There is not always a

correlation between names and success..



In particular, this book writes about a fact, when in the end of 1950s

in New-York one father named his son Loser, and another one - Winner.

Loser made himself a successful carrier, and Winner was in prison

several times for different crimes, starting from domestic violence and

finishing with burglary.



Julia Roberts named one of her twins Phineas, Gwyneth Paltrow`s

daughter name is Apple, Victoria and David Beckham`s babies` name -

Brooklyn and Romeo. And these names seem to be less defiant, than those

that were met among celebrities earlier.



News about David and Victoria Beckham`s third baby caused lots of

gossips and guess-works. And people thought not only about date of

birth and sex of this famous couple`s baby, - probably, one of the most

important points of public discussion was a name, which happy parents

were going to give their baby. As it is known, two elder Beckham sons

have rather original names - Brooklyn and Romeo.



And the couple made a good shot - they named their third baby Cruz. As

it was reported earlier, experts in the area of linguistics called in

question expediency of naming a boy Cruz. “Frankly speaking, I think

this name is rather stupid, - a senior Spanish language teacher from

Oxford University, Lola Oria, said. - They will have problems in Spain,

as Cruz is considered to be a female name there. This is an old female

name, it is clearly Spanish, and English-speaking people will have

difficulties pronouncing it, moreover, calling a little boy”.



As it is known, David Beckham has a tattoo on his waist in the form of

the word “Brooklyn”, and on shoulders - tattooed picture of cross and

crucifixion. The word Cruz means “cross” in Spanish, what afforded

grounds for journalists to think about the reason of such name choice

for their third baby. As it is known, David Beckham has a tattoo on his waist in the form ofthe word “Brooklyn”, and on shoulders - tattooed picture of cross andcrucifixion. The word Cruz means “cross” in Spanish, what affordedgrounds for journalists to think about the reason of such name choicefor their third baby. These days it emerged that Chelsea football-player Frank Lampard and

his Spanish girlfriend named their daughter Luna. As it turned out,

Victoria Beckham was already planning such name for her baby, if she

would give birth to a girl.



Curiously the dash for newness in names among celebrities influenced

fans they are trying to impress not so much. Simple British people

prefer naming their babies in a traditional way: Thomas, Daniel,

William, Emily, Lucy and Sophie. During 10 years Jack was on the first

place in England. Such simple names show that worlds of celebrities`

names and simple people`s names are separated by a huge gap.
