Sweet Dark and Crazy Celebrity Baby Names

Being creative types, not to mention people who crave attention, it makes sense that celebs would give babies silly names. Kids names come from anywhere: numbers like Seven (Erykah Badu), the cities where they were conceived (London, Brooklyn), weird made-up concoctions like Jermasjesty (Jermaine Jackson) and even fruits like Apple (Gywneth Paltrow). Rapper Lil Mo followed divine inspiration by naming her daughters Godiss and Heaven.

I'm not a celebrity - but I play one in my own mind so, if I ever do have a kid, I feel entitled to come up with an interesting name for my offspring. So, here are my top 10 names for the unborn and unconceived Sweet Dark and Crazy child.

10. Kumquat: Its a lot more interesting and exotic fruit than an Apple (take that Gywnnie!). If its twins, we can add Kiwi.

9. Peugot: I dont even know if they make the car anymore but it sounds good because its French (well, I think its French).

8. 1800: Its a number (like the Badu baby) and its also the name of my favorite Tequila (which knowing me might have played a role in little 1800s conception). And lets not lie, you know there are already children out there named Hennessey, Courvoisier and Tanqueray.

7. Areola: Technically, its the name of the dark part around your nipples. But you didnt know that!!! It sounds pretty and its close to my grandmothers name Osceola (which is also an Indian tribe in Florida. Okay, she was neither Native American or from Florida but that was her name!).

6. Karoake: Its just sounds like a lot of fun.

5. Sephora: If a kid can be named after a line of lotions and crèmes (like R&B artist Nivea) then why not be named after a store that features all kinds of cool beauty supplies.

4. Nougat: Its sweet and yummy just like the chocolate and caramel that often accompany it in a candy bar.

3. Sussudio: You know when you were playing this song back in 1985 that you considered it as a name for your child too. I know you did!!!

2. Sergeant Major: Jason Lee (Earl from My Name is Earl) named his son Pilot Inspector. Prince's sister has President and Sir. Its a title and an occupation.

1. Nostril: You tell me that isnt a kick ass name for a kid!
