What's in a Nayme? Weirdness

Actor Don Cortese named his son Tabooger. Nice. Grade school should be fun for that kid. Ten bucks says he gets his head dunked in the toilet. Maybe Cortese can name Tabooger's little brother Snot. As always, we can count on celebs to show us the way.
Rob Morrow named a child Tu — as in Tu Morrow. Get it? What a hoot — hey, Hoot would be a good name!
Milla Jovovich named a daughter Ever (middle name: After? Green?)
Sylvester Stallone named a kid Sage Moon Blood. Cute.
Actress Jenna Elfman named a daughter Story. Or is it Storee?
Frank Zappa is more famous for giving his children weird names — Moon Unit, Dweezil and Diva Muffin — than for whatever it is that he did to become famous (I can't remember that either).
Singer Erykah Badu named a child Seven (apparently, she has watched a lot of Seinfeld). Well, it's better than Erykah.
Toni Braxton named her children Denim and Diezel.
David Bowie named a kid Zowie (not Zowee?).
Bob Geldof named his daughter Fifi Trixibelle. Or maybe that's the name of his poodle.
The Sky is the limit for names. (Sky is a name, too.) Just look around the room the way I am right now in my office, and whatever your eyes see, that's a potential name — Window, Tree, Book, Keyboard, Photo (Foto), Clock(er), Pencil, Trophy, Desk, Ball, Carpet.
The search is on for spellings and names that are unique. Unique — that's a good name — spelled "Uneek," of course.
