Gerard Way's Baby Tops Worst Name List

[ofyourdeath.livejournal.com]

GERARD WAY's decision to call his daughter BANDIT has backfired - it has been voted the worst celebrity baby name of the year (09).
The My Chemical Romance rocker and his musician wife, Lindsey Ballato, welcomed little Bandit Lee in May (09), but the bizarre name has landed them top of an unflattering new poll.
Nicole Richie and her boyfriend Joel Madden, who called their new son Sparrow, were placed second on the list, while British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver and his daughter Petal Blossom Rainbow came third.
Charlie Sheen was also lambasted for calling one of his baby twins Bob, and Charlotte Church's son Dexter rounded out the top five in the survey, conducted by website Babynames.co.uk.

I'm not going to lie I don't really like the name, but whatever. It's not my thing to judge; she can change it when she gets older if she really hates it that much.

However, a conversation with my mother went like the following:


Mom: So how are you?

Me: Okay. Mr. Way had his baby or whatever. He named it Bandit.

Mom: [humming] Oh, how nice, they got a dog.

Me: Woman, were you not listening? .____.

But it's kind of sad when people mistake your kid's name for a dog. But I'm not going to lie either, one of my favorite TV shows as a kid had a main character dog named Bandit and these things do not bode well.
