i don’t understand why people give celebrities such a hard time for giving their kids unusual names when there are a lot of non celebrities naming their kids names with random spelling like Kaiteelin. their kids, their choice, I say.

I know there are some names celebs like to call their children that are kinda weird, but there are some I like and I thibk are cute, such as Apple (Gwyneth Paltrow), Hazel (Julia Roberts) and Tennyson (Russell Crowe).
There are some common names that I think that are so ugly, that sometimes are shocking. Of course there are some “different” names I really don’t appreciate, such as Bluebell and Cruz (which sounds like a girl name to me).

Cruz is not a girl’s name. If you check Wikipedia, all three Cruz (first name) are male.

I wonder if they know that Moxie Crimefighter is older than Zolten… they wrote her down as “Zolten’s baby sister”.

I didn’t say Cruz was a girl’s name, but for me it sounds like a girl’s name. And besides I grew up listening the word cruz as cross (which means the same in spanish, I think) and I don’t like to see it as a name. It’s the same if they have name him Cross to me.
But I think is their right to choose the name they like for their kids, just like you (Stephanie) said, but is just my opinion.
