A good friend of mine just had a baby and now all of her children and the men in her husbands family are named after men from the bible. Well that seems normal enough to me. What's not so normal is a facebook group I was recently invited to join named "My sister said if I get one million fans she will name her baby Magatron". I joined (of course) but I'm secretly hoping she won't make her own sister name her baby that. The suffering and mockery that kid is sure to endure brings a tear to my eye.
That facebook group has me thinking how celebrities name their babies the most unusual names. It's as if they don't think about the future. Or they think too much. They don't want anyone to forget the names and who's spawn they are. Here's a list of some of the most unusual celebrity babies names and the loving parents.

Adolf Hitler Campbell: The name of 3-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell hit the media late last year when his parents tried to order a cake with his name on it (the store refused). His sisters also have awful names: Joyce Lynn Aryan Nation and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell. We don't know what's going to happen to poor Adolf when he gets older, but we can only hope he changes his name as soon as possible.
I'm not saying unique is the way to go. I grew up hating my name because it is so common. I'm thankful my mom didn't name me Apple or Snake, or after food or a town.
Unique is good. Just don't overdo it ;)
