Weird Names of Music Performer's Children:

• Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen Zappa - He said he chose the name Diva because she was crying louder than all the other babies at the hospital. (No idea about the rest of the name.) Submitted by: Coolio
• Ahmet - Frank was on a talk show one time (maybe Johnny Carson) and the subject of his kids' unusual names came up. He said that Ahmet had grown tired of kids at school calling him Ahmet the Vomit and had started calling himself Rick instead. He abruptly went back to Ahmet when the same kids called him Rick the P****. One of my favorite Zappa memories! Submitted by: buddyboy
• Moon Unit - If it were just Moon it would be kind of cool, but Moon Unit sounds like some kind of equipment astronauts put on the moon to find out if there's life there or something. Submitted by: Kitty
• Moon Unit, Diva, Dweezil, and Ahmet Rodan - Frank insisted his kids would always have more trouble because of their last name. Submitted by: Tracey
• Moon Unit Zappa - Frank gave his pregnant wife 2 choices on names for the child: Moon and Motorhead, a roadie friend of Frank's. His wife told VH1 that there was NO WAY she was going to name a child Motorhead, so she picked Moon, and because the child made the family not a couple anymore, but a unit, she chose Unit as her middle name. Moon likes her name but wishes that her sister, Diva, had been named Star. She has 2 brothers named Dweezil and Ahmet. Submitted by: Jen
• Diva Muffin - First rule: Never name your kid after a pastry (it sounds like Janet's boob.) Submitted by: hamp
• Ahmet Rodan - I believe after Dweezil (or Diva) came Ahmet, a fine name, with his middle name being Rodan, after the Japanese monster (a little more cheapness please). Submitted by: tom schwartz
• Moon Unit - I think thats one of the worst names ever, moon is a bit romantic, but moon unit always reminds me of a computer.. Submitted by: Svenja_M
• Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet, Diva Zappa - Frank wasn't on drugs!!!!!!! concerning this names he said: "People make a lot of fuss about my kids having such supposedly 'strange names', but the fact is that no matter what first names I might have given them, it is the last name that is going to get them in trouble." Submitted by: Val
• Moon, Dweezil, Ahmet, Diva - Moon is a normal name in many cultures, in Spain it's Luna. Dweezil was named after a small stunted toe his mother Gail had. Ahmet is named after Ahmet Ertigan, a big record CEO at the time, Diva was the loudest and highest pitched baby. Frank never did drugs, he claimed he smoked pot a couple times in the 60's but didn't like it because it made him tired. He was a genius composer, guitar hero and satirist. The most important composer of the 20th century. He is sadly missed : ( Submitted by: trendm0nger
