This isn't a new trend... Frank Zappa named his kids "Moon Unit" and "Dweazle". I agree with sixate-they should give their kids normal names. Kids get harassed about normal names, so why give the other kids even more ammunition?

Looking at the article, some of the names they give seem fine to me... Carys, Ireland, and Lourdes are ok.. Carys actually seems like a nice name to me. I do tend to like some more unique names, or at least some different spellings for them (like Aerin, rather than Erin).

However, this:
"Beyond Jennifer and Jason, Madison and Montana: What to Name Your Baby Now, says offbeat names are just as important for today's celebrities as having a "fabulous wedding" or finding the "perfect Oscar dress.""

is just rediculous. Naming your child so the name is an 'accessory' is stupid. They're people, not the newest addition to your wardrobe.
