The survey shows that while there seems to be a trend towards unique baby names, and not just with celebrities but in general, most people prefer average names for their children.
Jason Lee’s first son is famously named Pilot Inspektor, the spelling of which annoys me so much. If you’re going to give your child a noun for a name you need to spell it like the dictionary does, the name is confusing enough. Jason and his wife Ceren Alkac had a child this year and chose not to reveal the name, because otherwise this poll could have come out with some very different results.
Here’s a bit of celebrity name trivia for you: Ron Howard, award winning director and Happy Days actor, has four children with middle names based on their places of conception. They are daughters Bryce Dallas Howard, and twins Jocelyn Carlyle and Paige Carlyle. ‘Carlyle’ refers to the Hotel and Dallas the city, where the children were conceived. His son is named Reed Cross, after a street, as according to Ron ‘Volvo’ wasn’t a good middle name. Victoria and David Beckham are said to have named Brooklyn after his place of conception also.
