obligatory Debbie Downer times

[mezzanineview]

Ya'll ain't gonna get much out of me except that that name? Is fucking retarded, people. Okay, I may be being a trifle too harsh, but this kid is going to grow up to be a real person someday, and no one will take him seriously.

Bronx Mowgli Wentz, meet Apple, Moon Unit, Zappa, and the gang.

I don't think a kid can pull off the name "Bronx" without being a serious jock.

I hope he's known generally as Mowgli.

no, dude, i think it's a hideous name. spectacularly bad. i mean, i'm all for interesting names, & i really wouldn't want to name my kid, like, jack or something. but. mowgli, jeez. also, apparently bronx is related to the place the kid was conceived? so he grows up, like, hey my name is bronx. WHERE MY PARENTS HAD SEX OHGOD.

Someone else pointd out that they'll call him Beemer for his initials. Which, sadly, makes the most sense.

I don't actually mind either Bronx or Mowgli in and of themselves; I think Bronx is a bit weird, but Mowgli as a middle name to a fairly normal name like Andrew or John or something would have been kind of endearing, you know?

But together, they just don't really flow well. I'm wondering if this is actually a fake name kind of thing to protect the kid until he's older. Pete and Ashlee are not above lying to the press, after all.

I dunno, I'm torn. I want to like it, but out of all the places he could have used, the Bronx? Seriously? And Mowgli doesn't really help at all. Fail, Pete. Fail.

I still think Pete is trying to incessantly remind us he's a furry with that one.

I hope it grows on me :\ I don't want to dislike the name, really.

i must admit i was hoping he'd give the kind a normal name like Tony or Jack or Michael or i dunno something normal. Even if he had a normal first name and a weird second name (i have friends that called thier kind Lucas Zepher but everyone just calls him little Z or Z) but this is pete wentz we're talking about. Ah well, just gotta get used to it i suppose. It's not really any of our buisness.
