Hollywood play dates with actor Rob Morrow's child - Tu Morrow.
Yeah, I know what you're thinking: "Huh? the boy was just born. He can't do play dates tomorrow for crying out loud!

No. I mean the child's name is Tu Morrow. Clever, huh? But wait, it gets better.
Actress Shannon Sossomon's son is the only kid in town whose play dates are in state of the art surround sound. But, it's not because he majored in Audio Science in college or anything. It's because that's his name. Um hmm. Audio Science.

But, hey, Pete's a musician. Hello? It could work.

And what little boy doesn't love action heroes? Pete and Ashlee can actually call up Penn Jillette to see if little Moxie Crime Fighter can come out to play. That's right! Just move on over Spiderman, Ironman & The Incredible Hulk! Moxie Crime Fighter is in town and she fights crime with, well, moxie.
And then there's Sylvester Stallone's daughter - Sage Moonblood. I mean, come on, Sly. With Tu Morrow, Audio Science and Moxie Crime Fighter in the neighborhood, doncha think that Sage Moonblood sounds just a tad bit ordinary?

But then, with Rocky Balboa as a father, I guess she should just be thankful she didn't get stuck with something really weird, like....Adrian.
Could you imagine?
Hey, I know. By now you're all probably thinking...."Okay, enough fun and games. No one in their right mind would do that to a child"

To which, I would say, "Oh reeeally? But, I haven't even mentioned Pilot Inspektor, Fifi Trixiebelle, Memphis Eve or Jermajesty. Because, frankly, some things should just never be said outloud.

However, I did save the best for last and it doesn't get any better than this. Ready?
Kyd.

That's right. Kyd. Yeah, I know. You're thinking, "So?" But hear me out. Like everything in life, it's all in how you frame it.

How many times, have you looked at the fruit of your womb ( or for you men - loins ) and couldn't for the life of you remember their name?
Huh? Am I right?
Well, you can thank Tia Leoni & David Duchovny for solving this problem once and for all. I mean, you're bound to end up saying this eventually anyway right?
"Hey, Kyd, can you come over here please?"

See? Brilliant. And the best thing? It's gender-neutral. Boys. Girls. Works for everybody. And if you have more than one Kyd, well, you can have a Kyd-O as well.
Okay. All kydding aside. I'm sure Ashlee & Pete's little boy is cute as a button and he's clearly heaven sent. So, congrats are definitely in order.
I guess I'm not feelin' these modern names and I'm sure it's my age. I just don't understand what is wrong with Karen or Sue or even Bob.

Or maybe I'm just longing for the days when it only got as weird as knowing someone named Richard and calling him Dick for short.

Yeah, I know. So ordinary. So mundane. But that was the best we had.
