The 45 Worst Celebrity Baby Names

Amber Robinson

What is it with celebrities? While the rest of us agonise over whether we should spell Catherine with a C or a K, the stars are pulling random letters out of a hat to create Makena’lei or Destry.

Maybe it’s that celebrities are operating on a higher creative plane to the rest of us. Maybe they’re on crack. Or maybe, like Penn Jillette, father of Moxie CrimeFighter and Zolten Penn they only have their child’s best interests at heart:
“I think it’s pretty cruel to give a kid a name that others are going to have. I think it’s very important to have a unique name within any group you’re likely to be in. It’s more friendly to go to school being the only “Penn” then to have to be called by your full name, “Mike Jones” or whatever. I always felt sorry for the Mikes and Bobs.”

That may be Penn, but try to spell out Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily to the school principal.
