I have no problem with parents naming their babies based on celebrity names that they've grown fond of. But does anyone else find it really sad and disturbing that people are naming their children after Paris Hilton, and that the number spiked when her sex tape leaked? How the hell can the parents not see the kind of connotation associated with that name now? How does that thought process work? And, like the article said, there wasn't a spike in Madonnas back in the '80s!

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Sure, but it'll be just every other popular name like that. In ten years, everyone will forget about Paris Hilton anyway.

paris will definatly fade. she is a one hit wonder. hahaha funny how here one hit was her porn video, but yeah, her shows suck and will soon be canceled and after that, she cant do what most celebs do when there career is going down i.e. release a sex tape hahaha.

that is soo true. but maybe next time she tries to make a sex tape she should put some fricking effort into it and make it good! not some lame ass night vision type crap that ends in some lame hotel room.

these kids will be in their teens between 2015 and 2020ish.....i think in even 5 years no one is gonna be making Paris Hilton sex jokes to the extent they do today. They probably aren't going to have very many problems. I do however think it's still fucked up that a sex tape and her whoreness fueled the naming of kids Paris.

Hey look, a bear!

Speaking of names, there's a lot of weird ones that celebrities have named their kids.

I saw a show on VH1 about it. Can't remember the details, but uh.....they were weird alright. Yep.

I need to give my kids some sensible names with staying power. Like Adam and Eve... or Sarah and Luke.

I really want to give my children unique names. Well, not "unique" unique, because I'm just going to pick some random word and call it a name. They'll be existing names but ones that aren't very common in this part of the world. Like my fiancee and I decided long ago that when we have kids, one of our daughters is going to have the name Keiko Aine (pronounced ah-nay, it's an Irish form of Anne, her middle name). That, combined with my last name, will give her a name background of Japanese, Irish, and Polish!

I'll likely pull names from the family tree. I like some of the more "unique" names, but there's enough normal ones in the queue that I'd have to have a lot of kids before getting to the bizarre ones. Unless you think Maaike is bizarre

HAVE YOU SEEN THE OFFICIAL DVD ???


i downloaded a version of the movie and it starts out with them at his place (i think) then the movie randomly jumps to them in daylight at a hotel and well both were pretty damn bad. (the sex and the general scenes). but yes i think it was the dvd rip.
