Where's the blank tile?

Why does it seem as though every celebrity with a newborn goes about naming it like they were forced to use a bad batch of Scrabble letters?

The latest case in point - Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale. (Gwen Stefani's latest bundle of joy).

Kill me. Kill me now.

For the record, here's some other future playground fodder.
"Bluebell Madonna" - (offspring of Geri Halliwell, aka Ginger Spice).
"Destry" - (Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw).
"Hopper" - (Sean Penn and Robin Wright).
"Zola Ivy" - (Eddie Murphy and Nicole Mitchell).
"Aanisah" - (Macy Gray).
"Aurelius Cy" - (Elle Macpherson and Arpad Busson).
"Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily" - (Paula Yates and Michael Hutchence).

There are those who shouldn't be allowed to reproduce. Then there's those who are too egotistical to remember that the kid is the one who has to live with the name.

Good research, Doug. I'm surprised more idiocy didn't turn up, though I'm sure it's out there. I'm surprised Brad P and Angelina J haven't gone off the deep end, but their kids' names are at least in the realm of plausible: Maddox, Pax, and Zahara for the adopted ones, and Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne for the biologicals. You could do a lot worse than that.
