[Opinions] Celebrity baby names... overdone, but...
...but here's a nice big list and an interesting article about it. Unfortunately you have to be a member of the New York Times site to access it, but it's actually free to register so if you're really into names (and enjoy reading about the weirdness of celebrities) you might be interested.
Here's the link:

I didn't read the whole article either because I'm too lazy t get an account Lol, but... Although I certainly agree with some being the "worst" names, I actually really like some of them, namely:
Apple
Casper
Elijah (although not the rest of the name)
Finn
Jett
Paris (although not paired with Michael for a girl...)
Scout
Tiger Lily (but I don't like the Heavenly Hiraani bit in front of it... David Bryan of Bon Jovi has a daughter named this too btw :p...)

Stupid article writersI didn't read the full New York Times article (don't have an account, and am too lazy to register at the moment), but The Daily Truth's article writers are the true "twerps" for calling the following perfectly lovely names among "the worst celebrity baby names":
Aurelius
Casper
Elijah Bob Patricius Guggi Q (well, not Guggi Q, but the first three names are perfectly OK, albeit weird together--and the kid's probably called Elijah anyway)
Daisy (I'll give them Boo though...)
Finn (nms, but alright)
Rocco
Tallulah Belle*Shakes fist angrily*

But Daisy Boo's parents refer to her as Daisy Boo at all times- it's not a fn/mn combo, but a double name that's not actually hyphenated.
(Assumming it's Daisy Boo Oliver, and there's not another celebrity baby out there who shares such a ridiculous name!)

Ick, I didn't know Daisy Boo was referred to by both names. :-( I still maintain that Daisy's a sweet, pretty name, and hopefully she'll drop the cutesy, toddlerish Boo when she's older.Is her sister Poppy Honey referred to by both names too?

I think so.
Apparently, the Boo part is a nn her father has for her mother, so they decided to use it for their baby, too.

if they're talking about Madonna's son...Rocco Ritchie, I have to agree that it is not a good name, only because Rocco Ritchie sounds goofy together. Like Richie Rich or something.

Rocco Ritchie doesn't sound so bad to me by itself, as I don't mind alliteration. But you're right, now that I think about it is Richie Rich-like. I can't believe I missed that the first time around. :-/
