1. Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin
2. Patrick and Rachel Griffiths
3. Kevin Smith and wife
4. Penn (of Penn and Teller) and Emily Jilette
5. Robert Rodriguez and wife
6. Madonna and Guy Ritche
7. Geri Halliwell (Former spice girl)
8. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes
9. Melanie Griffiths and Antonio Banderas
10. Frank and Gail Zappa

Jun-29-2006 21:20

1. Apple and Moses
2. Poor Badly Named Baby Griffiths
3. Uh...I know Will Smith's kids are Willow and Jaden, does that count?
4. Pencil and Paper
5. I'd hate to be known as "and wife"...How about "and kid"
6. Rocko (Madonna also has a daughter named Lordus)
7. Baby Spice
8. Sari
9. El (or La) Will One Day Be A Hottie Banderas
10. Zappa Dappa Doo

*Hangs head sadly after such a sad performance*

Can I get bonus points for knowing that Brad and Angie named their kid Shiloh Nouvil Jolie-Pitt :P

Jun-29-2006 21:22

lol...

1. Apple
2. Banjo (ok it sounds weird, but it's the name of a colonial Australian poet Banjo Patterson)
3. ?
4. ?
5.?
6. Rocco
7. Bluebell?
8. Suri (which is prob not so bad considering how kooky those two are)
9. ? they've had a baby?
10. Moon Unit or Dweezil

I think Forest Whitaker named his kids Ocean, True and Sonnet. I thought that was pretty cool.

Mind you Bob Geldorf named his child Fifi Trixiebell - probably best not to waste any money on ballet lessons and move straight into exotic dance routines :s
