Gwyneth Paltrow's Apple is Not the Worst Celebrity Baby Name

Celebrities seem to like to be unique when it comes to a lot of things. The way they look, the way they dress and unfortunately they like to be very unique when naming their children. When the topic of bad baby names that celebrities have chosen comes up a lot of people immediately think of Gwyneth Paltrow. Back in 2004 Gwyneth Paltrow was the butt of many jokes after naming her child Apple. Apple does seem like an odd baby name but I'm here to tell you that Apple isn't anywhere close to the worst baby name a celebrity has chosen. The following celebrities have gone really overboard with their baby name.

David Bowie
David Bowie wrote one too many songs because apparently he thinks every thing has to rhyme. That is why he named his son Zowie Bowie. I have to admit that name is a lot of fun to say. I wouldn't want it as my name of course but I think it'd be pretty cool to have a friend named Zowie Bowie so I could say it a lot.

Frank Zappa
The baby name that Frank Zappa chose for one of his children is Moon Unit. Moon Unit sounds like a nickname not a real name. Maybe Moon Unit will have some really nice friends that will give him a real name as his nickname. "Yeah, this is my friend Moon Unit, but we call him John for short."

Jason Lee
Jason Lee is probably my favorite celebrity on this list so it's unfortunate that he chose one of the worst baby names. Jason Lee named his first son Pilot Inspektor. Apparently Jason Lee and his wife got the name Pilot from a song. People should never be allowed to name their children after songs. I'm a big Tim McGraw fan but I'm not about to name my first son Shotgun Rider or Train #10.

John Mellencamp
John Mellencamp came up with one of the more...unusual names. John Mellencamp chose the baby name Speck Wildhorse. You really want people calling your child Speck? You want your kid to be known as a small spot? And what the heck does Wildhorse mean?

David Duchovny
David Duchovny decided to give one of his children the name Kyd. I guess Kyd isn' t a horrible name I just imagine every day in the Duchovny household being a very bad Abbott and Costello routine. "Hey, this is Kyd." "Oh, that's your kid? What is his name?" "Kyd." "I know that he's a kid, but what is his name?"

Paula Yates
I've never heard of the reasons that Paula Yates chose her baby names but I imagine she put every letter of the alphabet in a hat and picked a letter out one at a time to eventually spell our her children's names. How else would she come up with the names Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily, Fifi Trixibelle, and Peaches Honeyblossom. It's pretty sad when the kid with the most normal name is Pixie.

Rachel Griffiths
Earlier I said no child should be named after a song. Let's just go ahead and eliminate anything musical. Rachel Griffiths decided to name her child Banjo. Instruments should not be allowed either. No Violin, no Trombone, no Oboe and no Didjeridu.

Robby Benson
Robby Benson named one of his babies Lyric. Okay, how many times do I have to say that musical names are off limits! No lyrics, no stanza, no chord, no portamento!

Shannyn Sossamon
Shannyn Sossamon chose the baby name Audio Science for her first son. Is there even such thing as audio science? This kid is going to get tortured in school, especially in science class. But if Shannyn Sossamon is going to use such a stupid name then she might as well go all out and name all her kids some sort of science. "These are my kids Audio Science, Earth Science, Life Science and the youngest one is Paleontology."

Toni Braxton
Toni Braxton decided to name her two children Diezel and Denim. Diesel works for a very large muscle bound guy's last name but Diezel doesn't work for a first name of a little baby. Denim sounds okay I guess, but people are going to think of the fabric right away and I'm not sure that's what you want in a baby name.

Ving Rhames
One of the baby names Ving Rhames' chose is Freedom. It's a little unusual but I'm not sure it would qualify for one of the worst. It's a good thing he named his first child Reignbeau to make sure he'd get on the list. I'm assuming the name is pronounced "rainbow." If you're going to name your child rainbow then why not spell it that way? It's bad enough having such a lame name but such a lame spelling too?
