I know you like boys names that end in X, but really. Knox?
Stupid. Just stupid. Knox Pitt. Knock Spitt. No Spitt. Nosepitt.
Let's hope he's tough enough to live up to it.
You seem to have gone a bit off-the-rails with your daughter too. Vivienne is a bit fuddy duddy compared to Shiloh and Zahara, but I guess you were really going for the French thing huh?
Viv Pitt.
Oh well. I guess any name that ends in Pitt is bound to sound a bit horrible.
Nice touch with Marcheline after mom though. I'm sure she'd be proud.
Just try not to go stuffing junk food down their throats like you do with the other four. Honestly. Every time I see a photo of you with one of them they have their hands shoved into a bag of crisps or cheetos. WTF??? There are healthy portable snacks they could have you know - like fruit. And don't give me the "we don't have time" line - you could afford a personal chef for each of them.

Dear Matthew McConnaghey (and partner)
Levi. I know its an old Hebrew name meaning "joined in harmony", but really. It sounds like you named your son after a pair of jeans. Are you even Jewish?

Dear Minnie Driver,
Snaps to you for opting for a simple, old fashioned name for your soon-to-be-born baby. I always knew you were a top chick. And snaps for keeping schtum on the baby's dad and respecting his privacy.
Sincerely,
Magical_M

i agree with everything you've said. especially ange and the junk food kids. on almost everything else they seem to be good parents (not that you'd know, but they seem to be ok, the seem sound, certainly their ethics seem sound re the good-works they do) so what is it with the junk food. they're not stupid either.
i don't get it.
i know! its crazy. its not that hard to feed kids good food... my god daughter's favourite snack (at the age of 2 1/2) is hummus, carrot sticks and cherry tomatoes. If you don't offer them the crap in the first place they won't know what they're missing!
until they get to school and see the other kids eating rubbish...
and then when they get to school, and start up with the whole "but so-and-so gets this, so-and-so's parents do that", that's when YOU can start in on the whole "well, i'm not so-and-so's parents, we do things differently around here" and they just have to suck it up.
you know, some parents don't seem to realise that UNTIL A CHILD CAN GO TO THE SHOPS ITSELF AND HAS MONEY TO BURN, THEY HAVE TO EAT WHAT YOU GIVE THEM AND WHAT THEY CAN FIND IN THE HOUSE.
sorry, not shouting at you lovely, but it makes me mad.
some parents also don't know how to say "no" ten times in a row. what is that about?
stupid people are breeding.

go cats!
also healthy food tastes delicious. i'm not such a wowser to be always eating healthy food, but why do we think that junk is more delicious? it's not. maybe because it's illicit? i don't know.
There's an area of Melbourne called Knox.
Clearly Brangelina have never visited there (or if they have, they hate their new child for some reason).
And after reading this post, I can NEVER reveal to you Sweetums' real name. Or the upcoming name of his future sibling (regardless of which gender it ends up being). I feel that you'd judge me.
And you'd be well within your rights to do so. We've been NASTY with our kids' names!!
What you mean Sweetums name isn't Sweetums? How cruel of you!
Sweetums is a great name. And I was going to suggest Fozzie for the next one. Cuddly and cute!
I have ridiculous names picked out for any future children I may have so I really can't be throwing stones.
They're not as bad as Knox though. And they will only be used if the surname is suitable.
Hopefully you'll pick something that rhymes, so they can truly be the laughing stock of their school/university/workplace/nursing home.
Something like Sharon McClaren, or Bill McGill, or Fran Chan, or Flotsam Watson, or Grapier Napier, or Benny Kenny, or Kurvington Worthington.
You get the idea.
As for the blogger name for BEVIS Child # 2, I've been wondering what I should be doing about that ... keep any suggestions to yourself for now, 'cos I've got an upcoming post in draft that addresses that very subject. I need something that's cute and whatever, but also Muppet-related and something I don't mind attributing to the little bloke or chick for their entire life. And I need an option for both genders (or something that works for either one).
Fozzie's probably out, though, because he's on my very short list of least favourite Muppets.
So get to thinking about it and I look forward to hearing what you have to say when I publish the post in a little while!
YOU DON'T LIKE FOZZIE, BEVIS????
