I read last night that Beyonce had her baby, a girl. She named her baby Blue Ivy Carter. Really…..you would name someone a color. Was she watching Blue’s Clues and said “Oh, I love that dog’s name on there, Blue is so cute.” That child will be teased by everyone at school. “I just blew my nose and I thought of you Blue, blue rhymes with blew.” They will constantly call her Blue’s Clues. Will she like blue jeans. She will think everything is named after her. “Mommy why is everything named blue? Blue tooth, Blu- Ray, blueberries.” Maybe she was watching Avatar and thought the blue people were so awesome. I once made a picture of my son blue so he would look like an avatar person. Her boyfriend (when she grows up can text her, “The sky is blue and I think of you.” Maybe she was watching Willy Wonka when the girl ate some gum and turned her all blue and puffed up like a giant blueberry. Maybe her favorite color is blue. My favorite color is green, but I would never name someone green. Blue Ivy would be a good stripper name. “Ladies and gentlemen, BLUE IVY!” At least if she does become a singer like her mom, she will have a unique name. Maybe she will grow up and become good friends with Apple. She is Gwyneth Paltrow’s child. She probably thinks she was named after a computer, or an apple….or both.

My thoughts exactly. What makes celebrities believe they should name their children random words instead of proper names? Or do you think that maybe Pete Wentz & Ashlee Simpson’s son’s name is *really* Pete Jr., and they just told the press that his name is Bronx Mowgli? (Really. Bronx Mowgli?)
I agree with you my friend. Sometimes we parents think certain names sounds cool without reflecting on the effects on the child who carries them. Growing up in school can be a cruel experience when kids ridicules you because of your name. I’ve seen it and every now and then, even movies and t.v. series shows them. At work, a co-worker would occasionally comment, “Read this name.What were they thinking?” referring to the parents. Oh, well, we can give safe and meaningful nicknames to neutralize the original. Thanks for sharing….
Her dad wrote a song about her. His favorite color is blue. She will be famous for who her parents are. I think kids will still make fun of her name. Yesterday, the office manager told me that all the kids make fun of her name. It is Hanna. They called her Hanna Banana. She hated that.
Although I do know a person with a name “Blue.” He turned out cool and famous to the ladies..
I knew a family with bear as a last name. They named their child Teddy Bear.
I guess they are famous enough to be eccentric, but I wonder too if she will get her name changed by the time she enrolls in college!
Fun post!
By the time she goes to college, she will be a drug addict and not care about her name. All the stars children go into rehab.
She will be going to school with other celebrity kids so if they all keep giving their kids silly names then John would be the outcast. Smh it still doesn’t seem right though
I couldn’t help thinking about Joni Mitchell’s song Green about her little girl who was adopted and called something else by her new parents. Ms; Pinky has a good point
Now I need to look up that song.
I heard about this and thought about making a post myself, then thought, no… someone else has thought it and …. here you are…
seriously, dealing with celebs, they tend to not think like everyone else. They want to do something original and create a trend…. dont ask me why, it’s just what they do. I forget who now, but one celeb naimed his son, “Air Plane.” first and middle name, i kid you not. I remember thinking … how can you do that to a kid? but…. celebs dont think about how their kid will have to suffer with the name while growing up, they really dont have to…. they have nannies who deal with their kids insecurities. Anyways, I’m so glad you posted this!
Air plane. I have not heard that one. Poor kid. Frank Zappa named his child Moon Unit. He also named one child Dweezil and one named Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen. That one is one for original names.
Gwen Stefani named her son Zuma Nesta Rock. So I guess Blue Ivy is kind of normal sounding compared to Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen.
