Pleasseeee Dont Call Them Stupid Names

Celebrities cause quite a stir and give their child a silly name
They think they are so clever but should hang their heads in shame

Kanye and Kim named their first child North West
When I heard the poor mite’s name I thought it was in jest
If they achieve all 32 compass points in every direction
Poor Kanye will be so shattered and not get an ********

Gywneth and Chris’s child is called Apple did you know
Shame they have now split up or a fruit salad they could sow
If Apple gets teased she will hate it and it may give her strife
Wish parents would remember a child’s name is with them for life

Very entertaining, Jan!! I agree all the way with you. This is how to set children on the path to bullying. I know of an Antida and Christopher who named both their house and their first child "AntiChrist"!! // paul

ha ha! nice one Jan. yep I couldn't agree more about the whole celebrity kids' names thing ... cool idea for a poem! They should let kids change their names before 18 if their parents are celebrities :) cheers Alex

by the way, had you heard of Ima Hogg. A texas governor's daughter who later went into politics herself. I believer there was also a URA Hogg.

I knew a girl named Apple when I was growing up, seems like the wierder name the better, but I can't say nothing my parents screwed me with an abnormal name, I hated not being able to get name planted pencils, cups, keyrings. cool poem btw

Casarah your name is absolutely beautiful! Get your little girl to create a mug or plate for you when she is older - that will mean the world to you and be totally unique! hugs Jan xxx

haha.. True.. though in some countries you can now change your name but still people remember you by the names your parents gave you.. ><
