Celebrity baby names give me the blues
WELCOME to the world Blue Ivy Carter. Seeing as your doting mum and dad have already lavished approximately $1 million worth of gifts (including a rocking horse worth $600,000 and a Swarovski-studded high chair for $15,000) on you, I think it is safe to say you will have a pretty charmed existence. You’ll be surrounded by other celeb offspring, with Kanye West as a godfather, access to everything money can buy and all the other trimmings that come with having gazillionaire parents. Taking all this into account, it seems only fair that to balance things out a little, you parents have decided to call you Blue.
Why is it that celebrities love nothing more than private jets, referring to themselves in the third person and naming their children after obscure things? Because they can. You see, celebrities use their children to serve as yet another reminder to us civilians that they are different. ‘We’ call our kids Jack, Emma, Connor and Kate; ‘they’ call them Moon Unit, Kal-El (good work Nicolas Cage) and Sparrow. In the real world, baby names couldn’t be duller or more traditional. In Ireland, surprisingly Kal-El didn’t even make the top 10. Instead good old Jack and Sophie proved the most popular with ordinary Daniel, James, Conor, Emily, Emma, Sarah and Lucy also popular.
