HelpSwedish celebrity BA (horrible!)
Swedish photographer Bingo Rimér (he mostly photographs pin-ups) and his girlfriend Katrin Zytomierska (blogger, columnist, TV host, bussinesswoman) welcome their second son, RAMBO.
Little Rambo joins older brother RINGO and Bingo's daughter from an earlier relationship, NOVA.
Does the sea exist
Because of our longing?

I think the sister should have been Bambi.

His kids names don't sound cool or unique, which I am sure is what he was going for (although I have no idea who he is). Instead they sound like cartoon characters.

Well, that's...unfortunate.

Doesn't Sweden have naming laws? I am surprised that Ringo and Rambo would pass muster.
Nova is pretty, it's not my style but it's pretty and doesn't fit with the awfulness of her brothers names.

Well, we do have naming laws, but they are VERY liberal. You wouldn't be allwed to use "names" such as Gud (God), Bajs (Poop), Coca Cola or 007, but many REALLY weird names have passed the test: Tennis, Vilse (lost, as in lost in a forest), Mango, Loranga (Swedish orange soda), Mygg (mosquito), Prinsessa (princess), Chocolate, Caramelle, Lucifer, Tequila, Snö (snow), Regnbåge (rainbow), etc.

How is Loranga okay but Coca Cola is not? How do they decide which sodas make good names and which ones don't? This is one of the faults I see with naming laws. Sometimes they just seem so arbitrary. Do they have a set of rules or is it just a panel of old white men sitting around judging and denying names?
Dang, If thats a JOB I'd love to do it.

I have no idea. I find it strange, too. Fanta is apparently OK because it is a real name in some African culture, but Loranga is a soda, nothing more. OK, there is a popular book series for children in which a character is called Loranga, but I can't see how that changes anything. The naming laws are not always logical...
Soda is a legal name, BTW, but I don't think Läsk (Swedish word for sodapop) would pass the test.

It's a long road when you're on your own.~
Yes, that's what I think about Rambo.

I only like Nova, but then there could be something in the dna of the family, since the dad is Bingo.

I like Nova, but Ringo and Rambo are bad. I didn't expect anything else from the two of them though.

Not me either.
Robinson-Robban Andersson (reality show "celebrity") named his son Tiger and his daughter Chili, that's pretty awful, too.

Rambo is terrible! Absolutely ridiculous. Maybe he can shorten it to Bo or something when he's older. Ringo's almost equally as bad, in my opinion. Nova's not too awful, though.
But honestly, I'm most horrified at the name Bingo! According to Wikipedia, his birth name is Bjorn... please tell me Bingo is some sort of nickname for Bjorn? Cause otherwise all I hear is the song B-I-N-G-O!

No, I'm sad to tell you that Bingo is NOT a nn for Björn. A person called Björn would probably be called Björne or Nalle.
("Nalle" is an old "protection word" for bear - like when they say he-who-must-not-be-mentioned-by-name instead of Voldemort - but nowadays it's also what we call a teddy bear.)

I've never heard of normal people having "protection words" for names. That's really fascinating!
And I am very sad that Bingo isn't some sort of nickname. Is it supposed to be after the song BINGO? Or is it just a nonsense nickname?

I don't think many people nowadays know that "Nalle" used to be a protection word, it's more of a children's word for bear, like French children calling their teddy bears nono although the French word for bear is ours.
I would guess Bingo was chosen because it can mean "just right!" or "exactly!" The song about Bingo the dog isn't sung here as far as I know, although I think there are Swedish equivalents.

Bingo was christened Björn, but he goes by Bingo.

Still, seeing all those rhyme-y names so close together... they kind of sound like they should be set to music. You know, like in one of those summer fun on the beach songs from way back when...
Remember "Rama Lama Ding Dong"?
"Rama lam', ding dong
Rama lam', ding-ding dong"
"Bingo Ringo Rambo
Bingo Ring', Bingo Ringo Rambo
Uuuuh-Aaaah
Bab bao bao bao"
Ah, don't mind me, I'm super cranky tonight (for no reason at all). That's apparently when my brain comes up with stuff like that :/
