Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale had their second child yesterday, and promptly entered him into a contest for the craziest name ever by naming him Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale. What the name means is of less importance to the fact that that’s a f-ed up name to call a kid. How do they expect to explain that one?
“Well Zuma, mom and dad were trying to assert our collective coolness over you, and we thought the name Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale was so bad ass. I mean, it’s close to Zima, but it’s not. We can’t just name you ‘Tom’ or ‘Dave’ or ‘Billy.’ Your parents used to be rock stars. You have to have a weird name.”
As far as bad celebrity baby names, I still think Jermaine Jackson’s son Jermajesty takes the cake, since it’s supposed to be “your majesty” and no one had the heart to tell Jermaine he was stupid.
