WHAT'S IN A NAME - AND, WHY

What's your name? I know, it's a bit of a no brainer, right? Well, then, how about Why's your name? I'd be willing to bet there's a story behind it that will, most likely, harken back to someone in your family or someone who had a pretty major influence on your parents. I was named Robert after my moms Aunt Rose. That's why I wonder what just would cause some celebrities to give their kids the names they give them. For instance....What reason did Toni Braxton have when she named her kid Denim? I guess Jean was already taken. She has another one named Diezel. Makes you wonder what could have fueled that idea. Erykah Badu has a child named Seven Sirius – her favorite satellite channel? She has one from a former marriage who she named Puma. Not sure if it was after the shoe or the cat. Then there's Nicolas Cage, star of that defunct Tim Burton film “Superman Lives.” The movie never got off the ground, but, Nick kept the dream alive by naming his son Kal-el, a Kryptonian name. Of course, a nice Earth name like Clark or Kent would have worked achieved the same effect.. Pierce Brosnan has a son he named Dylan Thomas, for the great Welsh poet. If he was going to give the kid a name that dictates how he's going to spend his professional life, maybe he should have gone with something like Butcher....or Baker.....or Doctor. We have all heard about Kim and Kanye's baby, North. That makes the kid North West. If they want any kind of closure, not only will they have to name their next kid South, but, Kanye has to change his last name to East. That brings us to the new Royal baby born to William and Kate. There is a lot of speculation as to what they will name him. In THIS game of thrones, they will, no doubt, go traditional.......George...Edward.....something king like. As long as they stay away from Joffrey.
