Celebrity Children Naming

I'm just going to share my little theory with you all...

Have you ever noticed that celebrities always give their children really stupid names? Brooklyn, Romeo and now Apple (daughter of Coldplay's Chris Martin and blubbing Gwyneth Paltrow) are the first examples I can think of, but there are many more.

Now, these are the sort of names that would get children born to and raised by everyday people ruthlessly laughed at and bullied at school.

I reckon that because such relatively daft names are given to the children of people who can all afford to send them to all the same expensive schools, everyone there has the same sort of name, and anyone with an ordinary name like John, Paul, Lisa or Alison gets picked on instead.

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet." -
William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), "Romeo and Juliet", Act 2 scene 2
