This comes down now to Which Name would i NOT mind growing up with? Because both are ridiculously STUPID and SILLY. However, Being Called AudioScience all my life- i could dig that. Begin named after my rich dad and constantly being reminded of that? Not so much. \*\*Jermajesty \*\*reigns supreme as stupidest. ---

Audio Science: Shannyn Sossamon (15-7) vs Jermajesty: Jermaine Jackson and Alejandra Genevieve (14-8) Gosh, this is hard. I’m disappointed little Tu (Morrow) or Kyd Duchovny didn’t make it this far. I’ve just got to go with Audio Science. No matter how you slice it, it’s not a name. “Jermajesty” is terrible, really terrible, but it’s a name, and while it’s the worst example of it I’ve ever heard, it’s sort of compatible with a particular trend in African-American naming convenion. “Audio Science” beats that. It simply is not a name. It’s absurd beyond belief. So my vote: **Audio Science.** ---

My take is: sometime in the future, little Jermajesty could say, “Why did you give me such a stupid name?” and Jermaine Jackson and Alejandra Genevieve, if indeed they still exist in the same universe, will say, “We think of you as our little king, so we wanted you to have a royal name.” Whereas, little Audio Science will say, “Why did you give me such a stupid name?” and Shannyn Sossamon, whoever the hell that is, will say, " " because she has no fucking idea. Therefore, \*\*Audio Science \*\* ---

**Audio Science** Not so much a name as a way of life. Just imagine if this kid becomes an accountant. ---

Wow, no shit, Moxie CrimeFighter didn’t make it to the finals? I’m truly flabbergasted. That said: Jermajesty The point isn’t the naminess of it – the point is the massiveness of her father’s ego that he would conflate his own name and the idea of royalty and inflict it on a helpless infant. ---

Jermajesty makes me want to punch the parents in the face. Audio Science just makes me :rolleyes: so - Jermajesty. ---

Jermajesty: Jermaine Jackson and Alejandra Genevieve (14-8) Audio Science is pretty awful, but Jermajesty sounds like a bad joke, not to mention that the first syllable is “germ,” and just ugh. ---

Wow, I’m amazed that neither Pilot Inspektor nor Moxie CrimeFighter made it to the last round. Though I guess it does sort of make sense that “Pilot” and “Moxie,” taken without their incredibly stupid middle names, might not be _quite_ so bad. That said, I have to choose \*\*Jermajesty \*\*as my pick. Audio Science is terrible, but “Audio” taken alone isn’t that bad (and the kid could go by “Audie” if he really hated the name, or else embrace his geekiness if he was so inclined). **Jermajesty** , on the other hand, is just so full of misplaced ego and conceit that, like **Martha Medea** , I want to punch Jermaine Jackson in the face whenever I hear it (whether or not she had a part in it I don’t blame his wife–I’m guessing that this little gem was all Jermaine’s idea). So, that’s my choice. ---

The badness is supreme, but I have been making fun of Jermajesty (the name, not the kid) for years, so imagine what the kids who know him have been doing. **Jermajesty** it is. ---

Jermajesty. Because as others have pointed out, I wouldn’t entirely mind being called Audio Science, but I’d cringe inside if people were actually calling me Jermajesty. ---

[QUOTE=Little Nemo] There can be only one Audio Science: Shannyn Sossamon (15-7) vs Jermajesty: Jermaine Jackson and Alejandra Genevieve (14-8) Vote for the silly celebrity baby name champion [/QUOTE] Sorry I missed the semifinals. I’d have probably gone with Pilot Inspektor and Moxie CrimeFighter, but this was truly a Final Four featuring a quartet of deserving entries. I was about to cast my championship vote for Jermajesty (at least the phrase _Audio Science_ features a succession of two real words), but then I realized that Shannyn’s kid’s initials are A.S.S. (if Sossamon is the boy’s surname). Research indicates that young “Aud” is a [Clayton,](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0815370/board/nest/93065389) though. Back and forth went the names in my mind, and at the buzzer came the realization that the Jackson dude is less likely to ever be a true monarch than his opponent is to work in the recording industry. JERMAJESTY ---

[QUOTE=Sternvogel] Sorry I missed the semifinals. I’d have probably gone with Pilot Inspektor and Moxie CrimeFighter, but this was truly a Final Four featuring a quartet of deserving entries. [/QUOTE] Yeah, I missed the semifinals, too. I was hoping Moxie CrimeFighter would be in the final two, if not THE winner. Then again, I actually kind of like Moxie CrimeFighter as a name. (What can I say? Penn Jillette has…moxy.) ---

This is seriously tough. I think I have to go with Audio Science though. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/celebrity-baby-name-madness-final-round-closed/449937.md?page=2)
