While I'm not sure about the other names, I think it's freaking AWESOMESAUCE that he named his daughter after Emmeline Pankhurst, who was a British radical suffragette and advocate for the poor. That makes me so happy.

Click the link, he explains where he got the names. It's not a mistake.

But that is spelled differently from the child's name.
I shouldn't talk. I have five names. I just worry about all that hope and ambition placed upon a child by giving them an over the top name. I am not opposed to kick-ass cool names. I just worry about a kid not being entirely sure how to spell their name until they are seven. hah.

Take it up with Doctorow. I don't recommend that, though -- the one time I tried to point out a mistake of his, he really blasted me, even though I was polite and linked to the original paper that he'd misunderstood. He eventually agreed to fix it, but I'm not going to argue with him about anything again.

*laughs*
Okay that is awesome that you took it on.
You should haved challenged him to a dance-off.

Hee, there's a con-*test*-('") I would have lost for sure.

You should hang out with Matt Damon. I am sure he can teach you some moves.

Posy was my first cat's name.

John C. McGinley has daughter Billie Grace

Vincent D'Onofrio and his wife had a son on Valentine's Day and named him Luca. One of my favorite names, although I'm not crazy about how it flows with the last name.

So JLo and MA called the twins Max and Emme... very normal names although I am sure Christina Aguilera is thrilled that the boy has the same name as her boy hehe

Heh, supposedly Christina was also upset that JLo got paid more for baby pictures than she did. But even it she wasn't I think she would be annoyed about Max being used.

Holy crap. Soleil Moon Frye had a baby yesterday and named HER (sources seem to confirm it's a girl) Jagger Joseph Blue Goldberg.

Oh dear.

I mean, I KNOW her name is freakin' SOLEIL MOON Frye, but seriously. Jagger Joseph Blue? For a girl?

Little Jagger Joseph joins older sister Poet Sienna Rose Goldberg, who's two.

She's getting it backwards--putting the crazy first, followed by the normal. It's the other way 'round, dear. (And hey, Jo can be a girl's name. I mean, if you wanted to name your kid after Jo March, hey, more power to you. I mean, my kid is so going to be Harriet or Anne.)

...The fuck. That took me two reads. I was like Jagger Joesph's not that bad. I mean thats what Lindsay Davenport named her son....and than I realized it was a girl, and I silently weeped.
