You're gonna name your kid what?

"A Star is Born" was one of the games we played yesterday for TORC's baby shower. I saw a version of this last year at another baby shower but I thought the names were too easy, ex: Suri (duh, Tom Cruise) and Zowie (David Bowie)...So I made MY version. Oh those poor suckers.
There are 15 names of celebrities. Try to match up the names of the celebrity baby to the celebrity.

Angelina Jolie  ____ 1. Phinnaeus

Nicole Kidman ____ 2. Moxie Crimefighter

Courtney Cox ____    3. Scout

Frank Zappa ____     4. Coco

Ashlee Simpson ____5. Sparrow

Julia Roberts ____     6. Pilot Inspektor

Gwyneth Paltrow____7. Zuma

Demi Moore ____       8. Lily Rose

David Beckham ____  9. Kal-El

Johnny Depp ____      10. Moon Unit

Nicole Richie ____    11. Sunday Rose

Gwen Stefani ____     12. Zahara

Nicolas Cage ____     13. Brooklyn

Penn Jillette ____       14. Bronx Mowgli

Jason Lee ____            15. Apple


How many did you get right?  Yesterday's winner had 13! That chick knows her shit! She proved that she was savvy to pop culture.



Answers:
Angelina Jolie - Zahara (duh)
Nicole Kidman - Sunday Rose (I thought this was a really pretty name and one of the more "normal" ones at that)
Courtney Cox - Coco (An unusual name but not as wierd as a few on this list)
Frank Zappa - Dweezil (This was a Freebie for those who know their music trivia)
Ashlee Simpson - Bronx Mowgli (Spawn of Ashlee and former Fallout Boy lead singer, Pete Wentz. Let's just say this, I feel SORRY for that kid when he starts school. Roll Call.)
Julia Roberts - Phinnaeus (he's one of her twins; sorry but that is an OLD MAN's name. He's going to get teased for sure)
Gwyneth Paltrow - Apple (Why? Oh Why? And by the way, I hate Coldplay)
Demi Moore - Talulah Bell (Kinda Southern sounding)
David Beckham - Brooklyn (This name's pretty cool; it's a boy. I have a friend who named her daughter Brooklyn)
Johnny Depp - Lily Rose (this is actually a very sweet name...awww)
Nicole Richie - Sparrow (I think this is really cute and unique.  If the parents in "Baby Blues can name their baby "Wren" then Nicole Richie can name her kid Sparrow!)
Gwen Stefani - Zuma (that's a boy's name; father is post-grunge rocker, Bush ex-frontman Gavin Rossdale)
Nicolas Cage - Kal-El (Those of you who are movie/comic book nerds will know this - C'mon, Nic Cage is one of the biggest Superman fanatics out there. Of course he would name his kid Kal-El, Superman's Kryptonian name!)
Penn Jillette - Moxie Crimefighter (Good God....)
Jason Lee - Pilot Inspektor (Because I saved the wierdest for the lastest! WTF!!!!! I think Pilot Inspektor will end up marrying Moxie Crimefighter)

A lot of people were stumped. But that's because they don't read the gossip rags or know their musical or movie shit and also because their pop culture knowledge is nil and oh yeah, they live in a cave or under a rock or are too young (or old) to know some of the references.   I know some of those were a bit difficult but I wanted to make this challenging. Anyhow, that's what you get when you put me in charge of baby shower games.
