Names -> Weird Names of Music Performer's Children -> B

You think your parents gave you a strange name? Try being born to a rock star. It seems like strange names are just part of what you have to put up with. The most memorable of course would have to be Moon Unit for the daughter of the late great Frank Zappa.

Beatrice		Paul McCartney		Its a beautiful name....my gramma's actually		Dreamer

Betty Kitten, Harvey Kirby and Honey Kinny		Jonathan Ross		These are the correct names of his children. Apart from Betty, I think they are quite nice.		Leigh
Betty, Harvey and Honey		Jonathan Ross		Rowan has it a bit wrong, "Betty Kitty" (eldest girl) "Harvey Kirby" (boy) "Honey Kinney" (youngest girl). I like the first names and second names aren't often used so I don't think they are a probem.		maverick

Blue Angel		The Edge		From the loins of the prolific Irish guitar god come mass quantities of children with wacky monikers.		bigu2fan

BobbiChristina (one word)		Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown		It's already bad the poor girl looks like her daddy. But Whitney, did you have to name "HER" after "HIM"? I believe that was definitely some of the first signs that their was something terribly wrong "up-stairs"!		LaToya
Bobby Brown & Bobbi Brown		Bobby Brown		Bobby Brown has two children named after him. That's right Bobby Brown fathers Bobby Brown and Bobbi Brown.

Boriss Only		Jerry Only (Misfits)		Being a fan of Boris Karloff aka Frankenstein's Monster, Jerry was hoping for a boy. He kept the name Boris, although he had a girl. He added another S For "femininity". Right!		Dan

Briahna Joely		Joey Fatone		This is the correct spelling--not Brianna.		Amy
Brianna		Joey Fatone				backstreetgrl
Brigette Michael		Sting		Hey, CydM, I don't find this name odd at all. Mickey is not that odd of a nickname either. However, the spelling is. My name is Mikhaila, a Ukrainian name, and when i was young I had the choice of a nickname. I could choose MIki or Meisha and I chose MIki. Therefore, I do not find this child's name weird at all but unique.		miki
Brigette Michael		Sting		Called Mickey. Considering I know a woman named Brigette who is called "Git," this doesn't seem so bad.		CydM
Britney		Ja Rule		Not so weird other than surprisingly normal, considering the much more elaborate names African-American artists give their children. Good to go against the grain sometimes.		Eric Andrews
Britney, Jeffry, and Jordan		Ja Rule		He named his son Jeffry after himself.		alishah
Brittany		Ja Rule		His wife picked out the name.		Geno

Brooke-Lynne		Donna Summer		I wonder if she was also conceived there!		Jessica
Brooklyn		Victoria Beckham		Here is the real story: Brooklyn was not conceived in Brooklyn. He was conceived in Denmark, when Spice Girls gave a concert there. But the couple did not want to call their son Denmark. So they called him Brooklyn, because that is where they were when they were told they were expecting a son.		Gitte
Brooklyn		David and Victoria Beckham		Hmmm all I have to say is good job the baby wasn't "made" in Peckham.		Emily
Brooklyn		Donna Summer		The name of one of her three daughters.		Eric Andrews
Brooklyn Joseph		Victoria Beckham		The Brooklyn name: it's because the mother says that her son was "made" in that place. Isn't it sad?		Nelly
Brookyln and Romeo		David And Victoria Beckham		Right, Brooklyn is quite a nice name, but for the kid when he's older. I suppose he won't really get bullied when his parents are one of the most famous couples ever, but the world knows that he is named after Brooklyn because that is where he was conceived. The poor kid has gotta grow up knowing that. Then Romeo, now it wouldn't suprise me if he was conceived during a theatre production. Don't get me wrong, sweet names but I don't know, just not right.		Natalee
