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

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.

Gabriel Luke Beauregard		Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall		How cool?		Grace Slick
Gabriel Titus		Per Gessle		Again: not weird at all, just not common in the US! As for Titus, here's what Per Gessle had to say regarding the name: "We were at the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, the nearly biggest private museum of the US. That wife of a good friend of ours had been Simon's nurse. We were in a hall filled with paintings by van Gogh and others. But we both went to a painting that was in a hidden corner and made no real sense. Still we wanted to have a better look at it. Then it seemed to be an wonderful Rembrandt, showing his son Titus. Then Åsa said 'If we once get a son, his name should be Titus.' That was in 1994 but that Titus thing started rolling."		Christine

Glenys Pearl y-Felin		Cerys Matthews		Singer Cerys Matthews has named her first child Glenys Pearl y-Felin. The name Glenys is a traditional Welsh name originating from the Welsh word glan, meaning "pure" or "holy". "The Pearl part of the name is from the Matthews' family history, and y-Felin is Welsh for the mill, and from their family roots," said a spokesman for Warner Music UK. Cerys means love, carys, in Welsh. Weird but beautiful names.		Stephx86

Goodman Miller Carter		Nick Carter		Obviously named after 30's/40's bandleaders Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller, but why does this kid have three last names and no first name?		Aaerni
Goodman Miller Carter		Nick Carter		@ Aaerni: maybe because Nick Carter doesn't even have kids!!!		Aleah
Googa		Martina McBride		She does not have a daughter named Googa. Her two daughter's names are Delaney Katharine and Emma Justine. It's clearly stated on her website. Whoever the information came from was totally incorrect!		Jennifer
Googa		Martina McBride		That is a totally weird name but really cool.		ashlea
Grace Jane		Meryl Streep		I think Grace is pretty. I'm not a big fan of the name Jane, but the combination of the two; Grace Jane, is quite rare and original. [Ed.s note: I'm leaving this on here based on Meryl's role in "Music of the Heart".		TheActress

Gunnar		Ricky Nelson		Gunnar's twin's name is Matthew, NOT Gunther.		egs
Gunnar		Nikki Sixx		There's nothing wrong with the name Gunnar! It's not pronounced like Gunner either, it's a perfectly acceptable Scandinavian name.		Angela
Gunnar		Nikki Sixx		In the phone book, he's gonna be Sixx Gunnar!		Lisa
Gunnar Nelson		Ricky Nelson		I think Ricky had no idea of what he was thinking when he name his son. Although Gunnar the person is sexy and so is his name.		Cassie
Gunnar Nelson		Ricky Nelson		Just to clear this up. Gunnar is spelled with an A not an E. Gunnar may not be a common name in the US, but I don't think it is weird. I think the name Gunnar it is a fairly common in Sweden. I like the name myself. The name Gunnar means "bold warrior".		KB
Gunnar Nicholas		Nikki Sixx				Wilt
GunnAr Sixx		Nikki Sixx		I'm not sure if it hAs been cleAred up yet or not, so if it hAs im sorry!! His nAme is spelled with An "A" not an "E"...Whereever you go the idea that it is an E is stupid.....but yeah its A definite "A" GUNNAR SIXX		Jacob
Gunner		Nikki Sixx		Just a side note on this one. Nikki named the kid this way so that it would appear " Sixx, Gunner" when written in this format. Amazing what heroin will do to your thought process.		Troy
Gunner		Nikki Sixx		Just to back up Joy here, Lyvette, Nikki did legally change his name a long time ago. It is not a stage name. The boy's name is Gunner Sixx.		Amy
Gunner		Nikki Sixx				Rachel
Gunner		Ricky Nelson		Matthew's twin's name is Gunner not Gunther.		Celeste
Gunner		Nikki Sixx		Just to tell you LISA, his name is not spelled with an "a".		Mike
Gunner		Nikki Sixx		I'm a girl and I would love to have this name!!It's probably because I love Nikki Sixx but I love it, and I also love Storm (his daughter).		Shay-Elle
Gunner		Nikki Sixx		You've got to realize Nikki Sixx is a stage name (his real name Frank Carlton Serafino Ferranno). So the child's name would be Gunner Ferranno in the phone book.		Lyvette
Gunner and Decker		Nikki Sixx		I know he has more kids with weird names, but these two names are weird.		Shanni
Gunner And Storm		Nikki Sixx		If you have read the dirt about the band you would know that Storm's name is Storm, not Stormy. Nikki changed his name legally and has nothing to do with his former name for reasons listed in the book.		chris
Gunner Nelson		Ricky Nelson				Billy Florio
Gunner Nicholas		Nikki Sixx		Lisa, you spell Gunner with a 'e', not 'a'.		brooky hagan
Gunner Nicholas, Storm Brieanne, Decker Nilson,Frankie-Jean Mary, Rhyan Landon		Nikki Sixx		Just wanted to clear up some things on this, his daughters name is Storm, not Stormy ( they just call her that sometimes) and his full name is Rhyan Landon.		Jennifer
Gunner Sixx		Nikki Sixx		Gunner Sixx is a very cool name. In fact, my 4 yr old son's name is Gunner Sixx Pennell. (Not completely after Nikki's son.) My dad was a door gunner for a while in Vietnam we decided on that for him. Adding Sixx was my idea 'cause Nikki has been an influance of mine since 1981.		Britton Pennell
Gunner Sixx		Nikki Sixx		I think that this name is actually pretty cool. Not to mention, Gunner is totally cute. And just for Lyvette to know, Nikki Sixx is Nikki Sixx's legal and real name.

Gunner Sixx		Nikki Sixx		Nikki legally had his name changed to Nikki Sixx.		Dean
Gunner, Decker, Storm, Rhyan, Frankie-Jean		Nikki Sixx		Okay Lyvette, you are close. Frank Ferrana (not Ferrano) legally changed his name to Nikki Sixx over 20 years ago. Trust me, none of these will EVER be in the phone book! :)		Joy
