Okay, a big part of this website is the discussion of the effects (mostly negative) that American Hollywood celebrity culture has on many regular, not famous
members of society. And, although the effects are often quite negative (as in the case of eating disorders and addictions), we try to present the material in a fun way, because, you know, there are enough downers out there already.

Today I came across an article which dramatically displays just how powerful the celebrity influence is on some. You see, one of the most important (and, dare I say sacred) decisions a couple (or person) can make is what name they choose for their child. Certainly. And, what’s happening right now (and prior) is that some folks are actually naming their children after celebrities. Now, I know this statement sounds a bit harsh, but, I stand by it:

Only Idiots Name Their Babies After Celebrities

That’s right… only idiots name their babies after celebrities. Now, I think a lot of celebrities are quite wonderful as well, and, they entertain us, and, yeah, a hilarious guy like Ben Stiller deserves every penny he earns (with the exception of the revolting hit Reality Bites.)

Now, I should also add that a number of celebrities have a knack for giving their own children rather unfortunate names. Although it may seem cute to these celebrity adults, it seems rather irresponsible and cruel to give your child a name like Apple, Moses, Pilot Inspektor, or Moxie CrimeFighter. Really, I’d expect more from adults. This person is going to have to go through life with the name Moxie CrimeFighter? What if Moxie CrimeFighter is quite bright and becomes a psychologist who publishes books? The Oedipal Theory Reexamined From The Deconstructionist Perspective by Moxie CrimeFighter !!! Really, I expect more from adults, but, I should have learned better. And, when it comes to so many celebrity, so-called adults… forget about it!

Okay, so, a number of folks are naming their babies after celebrities these days. This, actually, isn’t new, but, it’s disturbing, and, I’ve been researching around, and, the only thing that has changed is the names. Some of the more popular ones include Britney, Paris, and, Snoop… yes, Snoop!

Now, granted Snoop is a cool guy, and, it is a fun name, but… well, it is a really fun name.

Take care,
Skippy
