Why oh Why??!?!?

Why do celebrities insist on giving their babies ridiculous names? Is there some contest that's going on that I don't know about??

Ashlee Simpson and her “Fall Out Boy” husband Pete Wentz have finally welcomed their son. The new baby's name is Bronx Mowgli Wentz.

No clue yet on the basis of the Bronx moniker.

But Mowgli is the name of the character in Rudyard Kipling’s short story “In the Rukh,” and is best known for being the lead in the popular animated film, “The Jungle Book,” inspired by Kipling’s work.
