So What Are The Weirdest Celebrity Baby Names?
By Michael
At 16 years old, Peaches Geldof (or Peaches Honeyblossom Michelle Charlotte Angel Vanessa Geldof) made a strong plea to celebrities to stop giving their children weird names. She said: "I hate ridiculous names; my weird name has haunted me all my life"

Peaches is the daughter of Sir Bob Geldof and the late Paula Yates and actually, she probably got of lightly - her sisters are called Fifi Trixibelle, Pixie and Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily (her half sister from her mum's relationship with the late Michael Hutchence).

This is just a personal opinion, but isn't this just a case of someone trying to be a little too clever? It sounds like an idea that a would-be parent would come up with as a joke and then dismiss in 30 seconds; "I know, let's call her
