Nameless newborns: celebrities have problems naming babies too
Filed under: Celeb Kids, Celeb Parents
I was talking to a woman at a party once, when the subject of unusual names came up. She said she went to school with a girl named BeBe, which was pretty exotic and European sounding for a little girl growing up in Wisconsin in the 1960's. It turned out that BeBe's name was more due to indecision than sophistication-her parents couldn't agree on a name and left "Baby Jones" on her birth certificate until they could get it sorted out. You can guess what happened from there: Baby Jones started referring to herself as "BeBe" and the name became permanent.
Hollywood personality Brooke Burke and her fiancé David Charvet have found themselves in a similar situation in trying to name their three-week-old son.
"We've been waiting our whole life for a son, and we haven't named him," Burke told PEOPLE magazine. "He did leave the hospital without the birth certificate. I know that's terrible!"
However, there is hope on the naming horizon for Baby Burke-Charvet. According to his mother, "We're really, really close [to a name]. We've agreed on the first and the last, and we're still fighting on the middle."
Brooke has daughters Neriah and Sierra, from a prior marriage another daughter with Charvet named Rain, so it's unlikely that the fighting over Baby Burke-Charvet's name has been between something simple like Michael Joseph vs. Mark Allan!
Do you have any nameless newborn stories?

isisaquaria said...We had a concern with unique vs bizarre and at the time Sebella was considered by some too be strange 12yo ago, now it almost sounds normal. And we have had alot of people who assume that because I am Wiccan-we chose Salym because of the witch trials. (her great grandmother doesn't call her by her name because of it-paternal) It means peace-that's why it was chose-but it is a little off-personality wise (who knew)
With the twins-time was not really there. My husband and I went back to other possibilities from past discussions, my daughter chose two she liked-we voted and she won Serenity and Storm---I asked her the other day why? Her answer "They had a stormy beginning, she hopes they have a serene future." Yeah-i know it's corny, but she's 12. It means the world to me that she feels that way.

Sandyone said...Beautiful twin naming story, Isis!!
My sister, She Who Does Everything Right, didn't have a name for one of her kids for about a week, I think. It cracked me up, because I am She Who Does Everything at the Last Minute (or Later) and all of my kids have had names either before or right after birth. This latest one, however, might not be so fortunate. I'm in a quandry.
