Gwen Stefani or Frank Zappa: Whose Kids Names Are The Most Creative?
-
Artist:
Frank Zappa and his wife Adelaide Gail Sloatman had four kids together. Their names were Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet Emuukha Rodan and Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen.
I always thought those took the prize as the most bizarre, yet wonderful names a rocker has named their children.
Then today Gwen Stefani and her rocker hubby Gavin Rossdale welcomed their second child, a son, into the world via C-section. They named him Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale. Zuma (like the beach?) joins older brother Kingston James McGregor Rossdale in the family.
There seems to be some reggae appreciation happening here. Kingston, is the capitol of Jamaica and where Bob Marley lived, while Nesta was Bob Marley's middle name, Robert Nesta Marley. It's a cool influence, but might give the Zappa family a one up, considering their names seem to be a bit more original.
Watch out Zappa family. Stefani and Rossdale are moving in on your name game territory.

dude i think the name zuma is phenomenal! i love it. as much as i love the beach...
I can't imagine Gwen smoking chiba. But then she does have the whole reggae style appreciation as well....
thoughts?
yeah... maybe at one point she smoked the chiba...but nah. Zuma is a cool name. Zoom for short.
I thought she was looking a bit "fast and bulbous" at the Wimbledon final
"also a tin teardrop"
chiba - are you talking about weed? oh hells yeah she smokes weed! maybe not while pregnant, but then again, it may have no effect on the unborn. dunno. but no one names their kids after 2 different reggae icons if they don't smoke weed...
And all David Bowie could come up with for his son was Zowie. He now calls himself Joe.
On a different note...best obsure reference band name? The Anderson Council! Now let's see who knows why....
What the hell? No mention of the late groupie/pinhead/drug addict Paula Yates whose daughters with rocker-humanitarian Bob Geldof are named Fifi Trixiebelle, Peaches Honeyblossom Michelle Charlotte Angel Vanessa and Pixie and whose daughter with the late INXS singer Michael Hutchence is named Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily?
those deserve to be heard MTK
Done - and my research suggests that Pixie's full name is, in fact, Pixie Frou-Frou Geldof. You're welcome!
What about Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow's children Apple and Moses?
