I try not to judge. It’s really no ones business what anyone names their kid. (but what the hell would I have to write about if I didn’t judge???)
When I named Will, I said his name in four very important sentences.
a. The Grammy goes to….
b. Starting at centre for your Montreal Canadiens is….
c. The Board has named …. as the new CEO.
d. Grandma, I want you to meet my fiance….
Now, Will Lanthier seemed to fit in all of these circumstances. Granted William may suit ‘c’ a bit better but 3.5 out of 4 ain’t bad.
Now, I want you to take Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy’s new sons name and use it in there.
BING. Bing Bellamy. Try it out. Done laughing? WTF. Seriously. I love the sentiment (Bingham is his mom’s maiden name) I do. I wanted to use my mother’s maiden name in Will’s name – instead I used the name of the beautiful town where she is buried, Sutton. So I get the sentiment but that’s what middle names are for!!!!
This would be Will ifI had named him something like Poutine (you know I love it, it makes me happy – so why not name my kid that. THIS is why).
okay HILARIOUS
I guess when your rich and famous you don’t have to worry about your list. You can be named something ridiculous and you’ll still be rich and famous. Or at least your parents will be.
What about Bing Crosby?? And I don’t mind the alliteration – I think it has a nice bing (I mean ring) to it.
I seriously don’t know what’s up with these Hollywood Moms! Have you heard the name of Alicia Silverstone’s newborn son? Bear Blu Jarecki!! WTF? I do, however, like baby girl Beckham’s name- Harper- although her middle name is Seven? what’s up with that?
Well, it original, that’s for sure!!
ya…really. I just think of Chandler Bing and how they made fun of his last name.
This is the kid’s first name. Bing Bellamy sounds more like the name of a band…I didn’t mind it when I read Bingham Hawn. But they were both quoted as referring to the baby as “Bing” so I assume that’s what he will go by.
Like you, I won’t judge, but I do have an opinion and I’m not a fan of the name.
July is going to be a busy month for celeb babies! Can’t wait to hear more monikers!
bing is a great nickname, that’s for sure. i had the same sort of criteria for my girls when they were born. i can still hear my s.i.l. saying how she hated her name…”i’ll be 90 years old and people will be calling me tammy!”
