Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz have named their new son Bronx Mowgli Wentz. Doesn’t the phrase "Bronx Mowgli" sound like some rare affliction whose original carrier is probably that greasy bear Aaron Rose on Gossip Girl? The original Mowgli from The Jungle Book clearly does not approve. Though I do see the resemblance. We can’t wait for mom and dad’s next child, Staten Island Aladdin.
Bronx Mowgli Wentz. No, seriously.

I vote for Brooklyn Simba
I literally LOL’ed at this post, because I was thinking the EXACT same thing.
bahahahaha. Bronx Mowgli. Staten Island Aladdin.
BRILLIANT.
Damn, now I have to name my kid “Queens Shear Khan”.
If they have a girl they can call her Queens Mulan.
If they have a girl they can call her Queens Mulan.
Queens Mulan is actually sort of a hot drag name…
Hmmm… the initials are BMW….
I wonder if thats on purpose. Stars are stupid when it comes to their childrens names.
How about Manhatten Sebastian?
Poor kid. It sounds like a disease.
I don’t know why I’m surprised that another Hollywood couple decided to give their baby a name that will guarantee beatings on the playground.
I think its a cool name,why dont people shut up?
I think the name Bronx is sort of cute. It’s original, as a kid’s name, and isn’t insane(Pilot Inspektor…). And I wish people would leave Gossip Girl’s Aaron alone! He’s not so bad! And I LIKE his hair.
That’s the dumbest name I’ve ever heard – arguably worse than names like “Apple,” “Pilot Inspektor,” or “Boat Shoes” for the fact that little Beamer’s parents think it’s some fun homage to a) the Disney movies of their youth and b) the, like, totally influential music scene or whatever in New York’s third most celebrated borough. Poor kid. I guarantee celebrity baby names will get worse, though, as “Goonies” nostalgia becomes more trendy.
this kid is gonna be a real loser. i don’t hope for it, but there are many factors which point to such a conclusion.
I don’t get it. Why the weird names? Bronx Wentz just doesn’t even sound good one single bit. Bronx is a soap opera name. Whatever.
Lends further support to the need to grant licenses to procreate.
the name is the hideous so far, after apple, moses,the parents are weird anyway and dont consider what this means to a precious innocent baby, its horrendous..i feel sorry for these kids born to these entertainers.
With the next one they could branch out into other New York towns and Disney villains…”Yonkers Jafar” has kind of a ring to it…
Poor kid. I’m trying and failing miserably to find an upside to having a name like that. Congratulations, Pete and Ashlee, thanks to you, some therapist is going to get very, very rich working on your poor son’s self esteem issues. Well done. Great parenting.
Bronx Wentz is terrible and will definitely get him beat up in school. But he’s not the first person named for the Jungle Book. I had a Spanish teacher in high school whose name was Shara Kahn, because her mom loved Sheer Kahn from the Jungle Book. Though I’m not sure when the movie came out relative to her birth, so she may actually be named for the book and not the movie.
or kick it way old school with “New Amsterdam Pinocchio” or crazy like “Yonkers Dumbo.” Cross the river for “Hoboken Pumbaa” or “Weehawken Pongo.”
possible suggestions for Wentz 1.2:
Brooklyn and the Beast
Detroit Tiger Lily
The Wicked Greenwich of the West
Golden Palace in Wonderland (at least GP might have paid for that one)
Poor kid. What is wrong with celebrities? Well, it’s better than Moxie Crimefighter & Pilot Inspektor, I guess…or is it?
Giving a child a name is a huge responsibility and those two effectively spit in their child’s face by giving him that name. disgusting.
At this point I am changing my last name to Smith just to name my children John and Mary. They would be the ONLY ONES in the kindergarten with those names.
Switched around a little bit: Jiminy Far Rockaway.
I was feeling sorry for the baby BEFORE he was born cuz of the granddad, the parents plus the crazy AUNT … now this name? man talk about ruining a kid on his second day on earth.
That poor kid. His mom, his aunt, his grandpa….and that NAME! So sad.
Move over, Apple, Rumor and Phineas: WORST CELEBRITY BABY NAME EVER.
he can’t even go by his first two initials…
Ok, I get that celebrities like to do dumb things like involve product placement in their baby naming, but there are other ways to get the initials BMW. For instance, Brooklyn Mufasa.
