I;m not sure if this has already been posted here because I'm not a regular on the Opinions board anymore, but Tom DeLonge had a baby boy recently and named him Jonas Rocket DeLonge. WDYT?

The name is actually not that uncommon. There is another celebrity couple who named their kids:

Rocket
Racer
Rebel
Rogue

Apart, I think they sound nice. Together I think it sounds cheesy and sort of like a joke.

It's pretty snappy, and I'm obviously biased towards the man--I love me some Blink-182 (but not Angels and Airwaves--good God, man, go back to what works)--so I'd have to say that I like it.

Besides, his other kid is Ava Elizabeth. Anything's an improvement after that. ;D

Hey, I like the name Ava Elizabeth, even though it may be overused or "boring" to some, It still stands the test of time as beautiful and sensible.

I actually like it

Its intresting , different and actually sounds nice.
I think Jonas should be grateful he got Rocket as a MN rather than a FN.
Buts its kina coolish and I don't see the problem.

That's crazy. Rocket. But it's beat by Penn Jillette of Penn & Teller. He and his wife Emily Zolten named their kids Zolten Penn Jillette (b) and Moxie Crimefighter Jillette (g).

I think it's kind of silly.
Jonas to me is archaic and vaguely comical because of the whale. But okay.
Rocket is sort of ... phallic. (Maybe it's just me) I don't argue with middle names though, because they can be kept secret if the person wants.

Jonas is nice, but Rocket Delonge sounds like a male pornstar. For all I know, it already is one.

I like Jonas alot but Rocket?? It just destroys the name. Lets just hope people don't remember his middle name.

I don't really like the flow, but Jonas is nice. Rocket is something I'd sort of expect from Tom DeLonge.

I don't think it flows. I think Rocket is such a celeb thing to name your kid, even if it IS only a mn. I'm not a fan of Jonas either.

Jonas is cute. Rocket is weird, but cool. It's good that it's a mn though.

Well, if someone's going to use an odd name like "Rocket", the MN spot is the best place to do so. I like Jonas, so I approve.
