Bronx Mowgli Wentz: Ashlee Simpson Has Baby

NEW YORK — Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Pete Wentz are the proud parents of a baby boy, and they're celebrating with some Bronx cheer _ this one is a good one.

Their representative says the pop and rock star couple have named their son Bronx Mowgli. The baby, born Thursday night, weighed 7 pounds, 11 ounces.

Bronx is the first child for Simpson-Wentz, best known for the hit "Pieces of Me," and Wentz, bassist for the platinum rock band Fall Out Boy. They were married earlier this year.

Their representative said in a statement: "Ashlee, Pete and baby Bronx are all healthy and happy, and thank everyone for their well wishes!"

I am thrilled that these two named their child after the borough where I was born, raised and spent most of my life. Just one thing and I speak from knowledge: With a name like that please don't ever, ever let that kid visit the Bronx without armed guards.

What were these folks thinking when they named their kid?! Sounds like an African stew of toxic root veggies and sausage or something. These people who burden their kids with weirdo names should think about how their kids will feel in middle-sch­ool...

[devinsbuddy]

When the child gets old enough...b­e prepared to get your butts kicked!
Karma!

[HopeGirl]

Bare necessities, the simple bare necessities

for get about your worries and your strife...

what a great song...

what a weird weird freaked out name for a defenseless human being.

[happycat]

I agree. It is very cruel to saddle your kid with a name like that.

[mphalen]

This will be the first kid in preschool to learn to write the letters X and Z.

[alphabet99]

Mowgli is such a cute name...for a pet.

[alguien]

bronx wouldn't be a bad name for a german shepherd either.

[ZenBastard]

Awwwww....­..isn't that cute. The little tyke's initials are B.M.W. How precious.

You'll pardon me while I stick this fork in my eye now.....

[booker52]

Just color me #:-o

[peachesmahoney]

Bronx Wentz? I just said that out loud and sounded like Daffy Duck. I thought they'd name the child something personal that had meaning like Rhinoplasty or Eyeliner.

[ranch111]

Why do these people exist?

[Kerris]

Shouldn't the name be: _The_ Bronx Wentz?

Just asking

[avenue]

I swear celebrity baby names are like little publicity stunts.

[Republicrat1776]

Come on now people...I­'m sure that even though that name is on the birth certificate, they will go with a nickname that people can't make fun of like "B.M."

[Artamentous]

LOL Ironic?

B.M = Bowel Movements in every English speaking hospital in the world. HAHA

[Republicrat1776]

LOL it's called sarcasm?

[carrieanna]

B.M.W.

[Treehuggindirtworshiper]

They wanted to give him a name so that he could be president or a rock star. Well it's no weirder that Barrack.

[PuddyKatz]

Barrack is a variant of Baruch which simply means Blessed One in Semitic languages. The latin version is Benedict. It's not that weird.

[Treehuggindirtworshiper]

How many Barracks do you know?

[PuddyKatz]

They should name the baby Queeny after the father.

[ZimboChick]
