[QUOTE=NajaNivea] I like Orion. I’m gonna name my Johnny Depp love-children Katana Lily and Cicada Iris. [/QUOTE] Yeah, Orion is a cool name. It’s just a little…out there…as a name for a child. I was thinking of naming the kid Zeus but it might cause confusion if I shout for him, “Hey! Zeus!” ---

I believe Pashmina and Laksa would be great celebrity kiddie names. In other news, apparently Jessica Alba is going to name her baby Honor, which has always been a guilty secret name I’ve considered for my future bub - guess that’s off the list! ---

A friend-of-a-friend has a baby named Orion. I didn’t think it was _that_ weird until you pointed it out… ---

I always liked [Mustapha Biscuit](http://www.amazon.com/Grandma-Mustapha-Biscuit-Victor-Ambrus/dp/0192722638/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210343309&sr=8-1). But it’s not really practical - everyone knows kids’ names HAVE to end in an “E” so mama can holler out the back door when the younguns have disappeared down yonder. ---

[QUOTE=Cluricaun] Sharp Dracula and Wolfgang Machinegun. [/QUOTE] I read that as Wolfgang **Michigan** , which is way funnier. ---

[QUOTE=Rachael Rage] I read that as Wolfgang **Michigan** , which is way funnier. [/QUOTE] That works to, but it would lack the panache of Machinegun. 😃 For years my default silly celebrity child name was Optimus Prime, but Dane Cook stole that joke from me. Damn you Cook. I could also go along with: Tabla Hawaiana (Spanish for Surf Board) Van Zipper Graffiti Tallboy ---
