A Rose by Any Other Name
Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson after much speculation at the start of their pregnancy, gave birth to a son who they named Bronx Mowgli Wentz.
Poor child!
Bronx on its own isn’t too bad, but matched up with Wentz, it sounds rather odd, but hey – he’s their child.
Mowgli is of course a character in the Jungle Book!
I guess it could be worse, he could be named Zuma, like Gwen Stefani’s offspring.
Does a name really matter though? Is personality not set at conception?
I wonder who I would have been had my parents settled on a different name for me. I never liked my name at school. The last thing I wanted was to draw attention, but all my name did was the opposite.
These days it is a more conventional name and I think I have grown into it, although most people call me a shortened form.
I helped my sister name her daughter 11 years ago and she constantly asks me why we named her Jaime – a boys name.
We tell her it’s because she is Jaime.
