The names are in alphabetical order. Some of the names aren't bad, just oldfashioned. But the majority are the worst names people could use.

Brooklyn is weird?

Some of these are really bad, like Bronx Mowgli, Heavenli Hiranii Tiger Lily, Kafka and my "favourite"'s got to be Diva Muffin, but some barely qualify as weird even for non-celeb standards, such as Ireland, Anais and Gaia. These last two are common-ish respectively in France in Italy.

Yech. Moses and Rowan are pretty normal, Anais and Rocco are not so bad, and Fuchsia is a GP of mine - but I feel really sorry for Tabooger.

It would serve them all right if their unfortunate offspring all grew up to be boring, beige bus drivers and bookkeepers.

And worst hair cuts, it seems. A father with the name Shooter, Alabama Gypsy Rose is on par. Camera and Cannon should have been twins. Some of those names aren't bad, the others are REALLY bad. Good thing their parents are famous and rich or else they'd be teased so badly. Also, Steveanna, boy or girl?

What is wrong with:
Anais
Aquinnah
Astrella (except that it should be Estrella)
Aurelius Cy I think this name is great!
Caspar
Gaia
Gulliver - this is kinda cool, actually!
Hermes
Ireland
Lennon
London
Marquise
Ocean
Phinnaeus
Sunday Rose: never hated this name
Zola
Rowan and Grier stink for girls, I agree.... But they are not bad names, really!!!
Steveanna- ok so spelling sucks be reminds me of Estefania minus the beinning "e" and with a "v" so I'll put this on the fence.
EDIT: I read some other responses and realized i left some ones Off I like. For the most part, I think these names are being bashed because they aren't Ethan and Madison.... There are some really good ones and a few that are just not cool...

They forgot the soap star who named his son PEANUT. THAT is the worst name of all time, all out cruel.

Hm... I actually like:Astrella Celeste
Brooklyn (I know it's trendy, but it's hardly painful)
Gaia (this is gorgeous, seriously)
Harlow Winter Kate (again trendy, but not bad, the sound is pretty nice)
Holden
Indiana
Kafka (Okay so I don't actually like it and I think Franz would've been a better more subtle tribute if they were actually doing a reference, but the sentiment is great)
Lennon
Rocco
Rowan
Suri
Tallulah

Wow are we voting for who we feel sorriest for? If so,I pick Fifi Trixibell...
vote up1
What about...Free. You know she got teased. Don't give it away for free. Or Pilot Inspektor or Fifi's sister Peaches Honeyblossom, sounds like a horse's name.Also, Blue Angel sounds like a drug. Like acid or something. Not that I would know....

Whoever wrote this article isn't a name expert. A lot of these are legitimate names. Like, wow, somebody named their child Rowan? WHAT?!Anais is fine as well.

I like Zola Ivy

I do agree with: Alcamy, Apple, Audio Science, Banjo, Bronx Mowgli, Buster, Calico, Camera, Dandelion, Denim, Muffin, Ever, Fifi Trixibell, Ikhyd, Jazz, Jermajesty, Kal-el, Kyd, Mars Merkaba, Moxie CrimeFighter, Pilot Inspektor, Pirate, Puma, Reignbeau, Rocket, Racer, Rebel, Rogue, Snow, Tabooger, Thyme, Tripp, Tu (especially with the last name Morrow), Zuma and some last names should never be used as first names (Bogart, Harlow, Hopper, Kafka).But I don’t find Anais*, Aurelius*, Bluebell Madonna, Caspar*, Coco Riley, Fuchsia, Gaia*, Hermes, Indiana*, Ireland*, London, Maddox*, Moses* Amadeus*, Nakoa-Wolf*, Phinnaeus, Poppy* Honey (I’m really baffled why this would be weird, it’s very common in the UK), Rocco*, Rowan*, Saffron Sahara, Sage* (but do agree about Moonblood), Satyana*, Sosie, Sunday Rose, Suri, Tallulah, Zola Ivy, Zowie (well, weird with the last name, but I like Zoe), strange at all (some may be unusual in the US, but I hardly think this is a bad thing) and I even like some of them (*).

Quantity over quality...There were probably about 20 or so names that to me qualified as "weird", but for the most part they were names that were pretty uncommon. Diva Muffin, Audio Science and Pilot Inspektor all deserve their place on this list, but names such as Caspar, Anais and Ryder do not. Anyway, names that I liked were: Anais
Astrella
Barron
Calico
Caspar
Ever Gabo
Gaia
Gulliver
Holden
Moses Amadeus
Phinnaeus (also: Hazel)
Rocco
Rowan (male only)
Rufus
Sage
Seven Sirius
Sosie
Suri
Tallulah(also: Scout, Rumer)
Zola Ivy

These one's are ok:Aurelius
(Romeo, Cruz)
Caspar
Harlow Winter Kate - nms, but it works
Indiana (also: Atticus)
Maddox (also: , Pax, Knox and Vivienne) - I dislike Zahara and Shiloh, but the other's are ok - just NOT in the same sib-set! They obviously went with the "x" theme for the boys. If it were me, I would have went with more sophisticated "x" names like Lennox "Knox", Phoenix, Felix, I consider Pax sophisticated too. I wish the other 2 girls had been named in the same fashion as Vivienne
Phinnaeus:
Sienna Rose - if only Sienna was the fn, not Poet
Sahara
Sunday Rose - what's wrong with this?! It should be on the Best Name list of celeb baby's, not worst!

I like Caspar and Sage. I don't think those are bad or weird at all.
