    I'm all for unique names, as long as they're not embarrassing or spelled incorrectly.

    Also, keep in mind that people from other countries don't even think about the implications about naming their child some "english" name or what it actually means.

    And some names were quite popular in the past but are considered weird names now because of pop culture and/or other reasons (ie. "Buffy" was popular in the 60s).

    -----------------------------
    This being said, celebrities are the worst (the following info are from articles I found):

    - Michael Jackson's sons are Prince Michael I and Prince Michael II.

    - Jermaine Jackson has a child named Jermajesty.

    - Jason Lee's son Pilot Inspektor Riesgraf Lee.

    - Sonny and Cher = Chastity, - Cher and Gregg Allman = Elijah Blue.

    - Paula Yates had three children with rocker Bob Geldof: Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches Honeyblossom, and Pixie.
    - She also had a daughter with the late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence -- Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily.

    - David Bowie's son Zowie grew up and started calling himself Duncan, and Joe.

    - Grace Slick and Paul Kantner of Jefferson Airplane, who were going to name their daughter god - with a small g, but settled for China after running into resistance from bureaucrats filling out the birth certificate.

    - Frank Zappa named his children Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet Rodan and Diva.

    - Rob Morrow's daughter is named Tu. (Get it, Tu Morrow...)

    - George Foreman named his sons George Jr., George III, George IV, George V, and George VI., and one of his four daughters Georgetta.

    - Erykah Badu and Andre Benjamin (a.k.a. Andre 3000) named their kid Seven Sirius.

    - Ving Rhames' kids are Reignbeau and Freedom.

    - Tea Leoni and David Duchovny named their baby Kyd - easy to remember, as in "Hey, Kyd!".

    - John Cougar Mellencamp's son is Speck Wildhorse.
