This week the world welcomes its latest celeb baby. Penelope Scotland joins mama Kourtney Kardashian, daddy Scott Disick, and the rest of the Kardash clan. No doubt she'll get the chicest onesies, hottest toys, and a tricked-out stroller. But there is one thing the newest member of the Hollywood tot club thankfully doesn't have -- the WTF name.
I'll admit Scotland is an unusual choice and I am sure it has more to do with honoring her pompous pop than the actual country. But if you ask me, little Penny got off easy. Stars just have different standards when it comes to naming their children. It’s as if they think their spawn are immune to being mercilessly teased.
Forget Apple, Coco, and Suri. Those monikers are tame compared to, say, Moxie CrimeFighter and Diva Muffin (I swear I didn't make those up). Check out the 52 wackiest celeb baby names ever:

I think Larry King and his wife picked a perfect name for their little guy (Cannon). I say this because one of my little guys is named Cannon also. No, I didn't name him after Larry King's kiddo, it was just the perfect name at the perfect time for my husband and I.
I actually think Lyric is pretty, but that's about the only one that I didn't cringe at.
am I crazy or,,, does this list claim that Tommy Lee Jones is both parents? who is Kafka's mother? besides,,, some of the parents have some 'out there' names so it's not a huge surprize their poor bloody kids got some doozies.
Bloody clelebrities,,, *le sigh*
Zowie is just another spelling of Zoe or as my friend spells his daughter's name Zoey. not a odd name at all, simple a different spelling
I have a friend who has 4 children, Destiny, Strom, Unique & Legend.
There is a difference between a unique name, and a name thats gonna get your kid punched in the face...
I think Lyric is pretty (then again I'm a musician).. and I think Forest Whitaker's children's names are quite pretty, not stupid at all.
I agree with BJ
My hope is that these children are home-schooled. I remember the teasing I got in school, and my name isn't all that unique. I can imagine children jumping off the jungle yelling Jeromino! or Cannon-ball and laughing. Or barking at Fifi as she walks by. How many times would Mars be asked if he (or his parents) are from Mars? How many times would someone ask Fuschia if her parents named her a color on purpose? How long do you think it took for someone to call Dweevil, dweeb-il? When Pirate's name appears on forms for school or work, do you suppose everyone thinks it's a joke, do they say 'arrghh you ready'?
There is a huge difference between John and Tabooger, and so many options in-between. Don't pick names that are going to open your kids to unnecessary ridicule, no matter what Johnny Cash sang, it's cruel.
