poet goldberg

We've had baby "Apple" (Gwyneth Paltrow) and baby "Banjo" (Rachel Griffiths), and now we have .....baby "Poet."

Yes, Soleil Moon Frye, better known as former child star Punky Brewster who had major breast reduction surgery, is now the proud mama of newborn "Poet Sienna Rose Goldberg."

Naming your daughter "Poet" is just wrong. First of all, talk about pressure! What if she isn't the literary type? Naming your baby "Poet" is like naming her "Nuclear Physicist" or or "Supermodel." It's setting her up for failure and feelings of inadequacy.

Plus, it's just plain unattractive. No one wants to introduce herself as "Poet Goldberg."

At least it sounds better than "Whoopie."

ok, but the mother is called Soleil Moon... I guess that explains a lot...

Katie, if you haven't already you ought to read Diana Goodman's Baby's Named a Bad, Bad Thing. It's hours of fun. Free sample:

My husband wants Elijah Haakon.I want Legend Haakon.What do you guys think?

I feel like haaking. You know a kid named Legend will be bland and unaccomplished, just like girls named Charity are selfish, Faiths are atheists, Chastitys are bimbos and Hopes are suicidal. And if you're going to name a kid after a Tom Cruise movie THAT unapproachably bad, name 'em Cocktail.
