Bronx Mowgli Wentz. No, seriously.

Petewentzmogawlibaby_l 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.


HAHAHA Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 02:05 PM EST

I PERSONALLY LIKE SASEABO BALOO. HAHAHA

Kelli Mon, Dec 1, 2008 at 02:07 AM EST

I could have died laughing when I heard the name "Bronx Mowgli." Bronx is cool, but Mowgli? That's from the Jungle Book movie. I'm all about unique names, but that one is ridiculous. But hey, whatever floats their boat, I guess. Poor baby. I hope he'll like his name.

Sat, Nov 29, 2008 at 06:32 PM EST

I think its a cute name...plus think of some of the best actors and celebs....some of the most unique names out there...being a john smith is boring! Find something better to do

Helen Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 11:16 AM EST

Bronx Mowgli is geat :D Its better than every other average name. It origionality you idiots. Leave Pete and Ashlee alone :| This is supposed to be the happiest time of their lives and they've got pathetic people like you putting them down.


Looking forward to seeing the baby pictures :]

Rose Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 11:08 AM EST

Excuse me? What's with the hate?
It's a name!
And i'd rather be called something original than a name everyone has.

And to whoever said they would beat someone up for their name, get a life please?

Thanks :)

Jemma Wed, Nov 26, 2008 at 03:57 PM EST

Personally, I think Bronx is a cute name, but fair enough if you don't, each to himself and everything, but will you give them a break!? It's not your kid!

oh Wed, Nov 26, 2008 at 05:36 AM EST

Oh, btw...

James or Thomas is far better than BRONX MOWGLI!!! ARE YOU RETARDED?

wow Wed, Nov 26, 2008 at 05:35 AM EST

Bronx.....Mowgli....

Wow.
I hate celebrities. And our generation. Its full of idiots.

lisamarie Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 06:51 PM EST

OMG what is everyones problem?
is it ur kid? NO
its there own personal opinion!!
i lyk his name its cute nd way better than james or thomas ect.

Die You Posers Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 05:27 PM EST

Eddie Munster Wentz and Ashlee Tone-Deaf Whore need to be publicly horse-whipped; that's right, whipped with a horse

momo Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 12:34 PM EST

Flushing Nemo?

Leave the kid alone, I'm sure he'll grow up perfectly okay. Sure, he won't be 'normal' - no celeb's kid grows up "normal". But he'll be alright.

I mean, they could have gone with the totally unoriginal 'Peter Louis Kingston Wentz IV'. I'd rather be Bronx Mowgli the First than Pete Wentz the FOURTH. Besides, Beamer is kind of a sweet nickname...

But to each his own :p

haha Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 08:22 PM EST

they've inspired me to name my first son "Spuyten Duyvil Quasimodo".

Stephanie T. Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 01:00 PM EST

lol, EM. Staten Island Fairy (Ferry). Nice.

Skyman Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 12:58 PM EST

Hey, if your name were David and you named your son Harley, people would say, "That's Harely, David's son". Ha ha! Boo!

Em Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 12:37 PM EST

If it's a girl next time, they could name her Staten Island Tinkerbell and call her Staten Island Fairy for short.

Jenn Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 09:52 AM EST

Also, sorry, I forgot to include the quotes -- it should be these "celebrities"

Jenn Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 09:51 AM EST

Hell, I'D beat that kid up for that name and I am a 5'2 girl. What's with these celebrities naming their kids like this? Okay, it's "original", right. But they're just giving us more fodder to make fun of them with. I guess they like that. I'm gonna go with Dixie -- I like "Yonkers Jafar"...

Stephanie T. Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 09:38 AM EST

Yeah I said the same thing to my Mom. I was like, I can see Staten as in Staten Island, or if she visited Sheepshead Bay, Emmons (Emmons avenue). But Bronx? Lets just hope he uses Brody as he gets older.

Watch, I am going to name my daughter Pocahontas and my son Jobu like the Voodoo god Pedro Sorrano worshiped in Major League. lol!

GeeMoney Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 09:13 AM EST

Maybe the kid could go by Brody when he gets older.

Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 07:06 AM EST

I hope all this kids saddle with 'clever' names grow up and either mooch off their parents forcing them to work till their 95, or place them in some sketchy nursing homes when it comes time.

Barbara Sat, Nov 22, 2008 at 08:54 PM EST

I love the name. My niece was the one and only Bronx until now. She always leaves a lasting impression

del Sat, Nov 22, 2008 at 07:09 PM EST

Hey, the kid's initials are BMW. Maybe the car company will send him a freebee when he's 16.

Liz Sat, Nov 22, 2008 at 04:38 PM EST

What about Maddox, Knox, or Shiloh? Heck, SURI???! (it means "mouse" in French). I think the Brangelina's kids' names are the most stupid ones.

angela Sat, Nov 22, 2008 at 12:34 PM EST

Should we expect anything less than an incredibly stupid name from these two? Come on...

Phonie Danza Sat, Nov 22, 2008 at 11:56 AM EST

I'm naming my first born son Spaghetti Marinara, or Hard Wood Floors.

Starsky's Hutch Sat, Nov 22, 2008 at 11:45 AM EST

Plunger Goering would be a great younger brother to Hitler Toilet.

aa Sat, Nov 22, 2008 at 11:34 AM EST

bronx is a great name. as far as his middle name goes how many of us go around introducing ourselves with all of our names. some of my closet friends don't know my middle name and never will.

I like Sat, Nov 22, 2008 at 11:26 AM EST

Yonkers Quasimodo -- brilliant!

Jane Smith Sat, Nov 22, 2008 at 11:24 AM EST

How about Hitler Toilet? Why not? I'm just trying to be original.

Tawny Canteen Sat, Nov 22, 2008 at 11:21 AM EST

Cedarhurst Remus? Bensonhurst Baloo?
Upper West Side Eddie Valiant?

Dee-Zee Sat, Nov 22, 2008 at 11:17 AM EST

Anyone like Yonkers Quasimodo? Or, East Village Sebastian...Or, Canarsie Geppetto...Gowanus Dopey

The Counteragent Sat, Nov 22, 2008 at 11:09 AM EST

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.

mawhi Sat, Nov 22, 2008 at 10:33 AM EST

he can't even go by his first two initials...

Movie_Dearest Sat, Nov 22, 2008 at 06:41 AM EST

Move over, Apple, Rumor and Phineas: WORST CELEBRITY BABY NAME EVER.

OMG Sat, Nov 22, 2008 at 06:20 AM EST

That poor kid. His mom, his aunt, his grandpa....and that NAME! So sad.

laura Sat, Nov 22, 2008 at 01:31 AM EST

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.

Nix Sat, Nov 22, 2008 at 01:29 AM EST

Switched around a little bit: Jiminy Far Rockaway.

Nix Sat, Nov 22, 2008 at 01:26 AM EST

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.

Jen Sat, Nov 22, 2008 at 12:09 AM EST

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.

Raven_Moon Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 11:22 PM EST

Poor kid. What is wrong with celebrities? Well, it's better than Moxie Crimefighter & Pilot Inspektor, I guess...or is it?

EM Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 09:47 PM EST

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)

mjade27 Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 09:37 PM EST

or kick it way old school with "New Amsterdam Pinocchio" or crazy like "Yonkers Dumbo." Cross the river for "Hoboken Pumbaa" or "Weehawken Pongo."

Ann Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 09:12 PM EST

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.

bootsycolumbia Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 08:38 PM EST

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.

Dixie Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 08:26 PM EST

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...

mimi estes Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 07:52 PM EST

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.

B Ro Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 07:19 PM EST

Lends further support to the need to grant licenses to procreate.

Tixona Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 07:16 PM EST

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.

fancypants Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 06:45 PM EST

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.

Gag Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 05:40 PM EST

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.

Twilight_Fan Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 05:27 PM EST

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.

bronks Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 05:09 PM EST

I think its a cool name,why dont people shut up?

Liddy Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 04:56 PM EST

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.

Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 04:54 PM EST

How about Manhatten Sebastian?

Danielle Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 04:44 PM EST

Hmmm... the initials are BMW....
I wonder if thats on purpose. Stars are stupid when it comes to their childrens names.

Gretchen Weiners Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 04:44 PM EST

Queens Mulan is actually sort of a hot drag name...

Gretchen Weiners Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 04:44 PM EST

If they have a girl they can call her Queens Mulan.

Gretchen Weiners Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 04:44 PM EST

If they have a girl they can call her Queens Mulan.

A Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 04:41 PM EST

Damn, now I have to name my kid "Queens Shear Khan".

empo1188 Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 04:38 PM EST

I literally LOL'ed at this post, because I was thinking the EXACT same thing.

bahahahaha. Bronx Mowgli. Staten Island Aladdin.

BRILLIANT.

Long Island Ice T Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 04:26 PM EST

I vote for Brooklyn Simba
