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.

Saffron Sahara		Simon Le Bon		Wacky named siblings: Amber Rose & Tallulah Pine. I think Amber Rose was the lucky girl!! She might get amber colored roses from thoughtful boyfriend/husband.

Sage		Ryo Okumoto (Spock's Beard)		I hope they didn't get the BBC children's series 'The Herbs' in the US, otherwise Ryo's son would be pestered by kids singing 'I'm a very fat feathery owl called Sage'- as in Sage the owl from the show!		pickle*

Remi
Satchel		Woody Allen		Thank God his ex-lover, Mia Farrow, changed the boy's name after they broke up.		funny

Seven		Erykah Badu		Erykah Badu is part of the 5% nation in this 'religion'. The number 7 means God, which is maybe why she named her son this.		Shariyan

Seven		Eryka Badu and Andre 3000		I bet they got it from that Seinfeld episode.(George has always wanted to name his kid Seven, but Susan refuses to name any future kids Seven, and in the end this couple steals it) I've always wanted to name my kid Seven after watching that episode.

Shiloh		Angelina Jolie		Why did Angelina and Brad ever name her this?		Ellie

Speck Wildhorse		John Mellencamp		What can I say? John's from Indiana. Enough said. And remember in the 80's John went by "John Cougar Mellencamp" Looks like he's got a thing for 4-legged animals that can run fast. [Ed.'s note: As a 20+ year Hoosier, I can say the majority of Indiana natives DO NOT have weird names. And that John went by "John Cougar" circa 1978.]		Dawn
Speck Wildhorse		John Mellencamp		In this case, "Speck" is in honor of John's grandfather.		Maria

Suicideika		Marilyn Manson		This child does NOT exist!!! What the f*** would a limpbizkit fan know???? (Editor's note: It DOES make for a good argument, doesn't it?!)		Missi
Suicideika		Marilyn Manson		A fictional child supposedly borne by Manson's mistress, Ms. Dita von Teese. Ms. von Teese doesn't have any kids, therefore Suicideika does not exist. Manson has said that he would like to be a father, but doesn't feel that he is ready yet. (He's about 37, he'd better hurry up.)		LadyGaladriel
Suicideika		Marlyn Manson		Why would you go as far as naming your kid something with Suicide in it!?!? That's sick and twisted. No kid should have to live through torture of getting picked on for the name Suicideika. (Editor's note: What did you expect from someone who studies Satanism?!!		Shortey
Suicideika Manson		Marilyn Manson		I'm not so sure that he wouldn't name his kid Charlie.		limpbizkitfreak
Suicideika Manson		Marilyn Manson		I think there are actually laws that prevent people from giving children names like this (seriously). Also, I don't believe this child actually exists. Who is her mother and when was she born?		Maggie
Sunday Rose Kidman Urban		Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman		Huh? What could they have been thinking? I like Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman, but that first name is seriously awful. And why does she need to have both of her parents' last names? Like people aren't going to know that her mom is Nicole Kidman? She's going to be in the tabloids her whole life anyway. Poor kid. Why in the world anyone would name their child after a day of the week is beyond me.		Edward
Sunny Bebop		Flea		This is one of the cutest name that I ever heard! It's fantastic and so sweet.		saya
Sunny Bebop		Flea		This is Flea from RHCP's second daughter, born in Oct, 05.		bex
Sutton Pierce		Britney Spears		Why? Is it just me or does the father have some kind of obsession with naming all of his kids similar? His first two children's names start with K. Why do these kids have to have the same initials as each other? Not very clever.		bex
Sutton Pierce		Britney Spears				mutya
