Can we talk about stupid baby names...


No joke, a woman in my office just named her son Pilot. Yeah, that's right, Pilot.
Don't know the back story, like maybe a pilot saved her life one time on a terrifying transatlantic flight, or maybe it's some reference to the biblical figure Ponchus Pilot - none the less, it's stupid, and the poor kid has to deal with that stupid name forever. And I don't feel one ounce bad for her that she is going to have to explain and defend that name for years to come. It's one thing if you are a celebrity and the kid is going to be screwed up anyway, but it's different for real people, when he's got a fighting chance.

Anyway, just for the fun of it, here are some other stupid baby names. Hope none of the other preggos in my office see this and get inspired.

Audio Science (Shannyn Sossamon)
Blubell Madonna (Geri Halliwell)
Destry (Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw)
Fuchsia (Sting)
Heaven (Lil' Mo)
Lil' Mo (Big Mo)
Jermajesty (Jermaine Jackson) - my personal fav
Kyd (David Duchovny and Tea Leoni)
Moon Unit (Frank Zappa)
Moxie CrimeFighter (Penn Jillete)
Rocket (Robert Rodriguez)
Satchel (Spike Lee)


I kind of like Apple and Suri, so I'm leaving them alone.
Shiloh is interesting - how many of you saw Mr & Mrs Smith - there's a scene in that movie when Vince Vaughn's character talks about his imaginary friend Shiloh - then boom a few months later and Brad and Angie have a little Shiloh - coincidence? Don't think so.
