Mars Merkaba: Craziest Celebrity Baby Name Ever?


The Twitty Milk Hoax has ended! Turns out Erykah Badu and Jay Electronica did not give their newborn daughter that particular crazy celebrity baby name, but another, not-quite-as-wacky one, Mars Merkaba.

Badu, also the mother of son Seven and daughter Puma, is obviously a leader in crazy celebrity baby naming. Here, with Twitty's birth, our new Top 10 Craziest Celebrity Baby Names:

1. Moxie Crimefighter -- The daughter of magician Penn Jillette, whose assertive word name can be called unique in the truest sense of that term, is the bearer of what may still be the absolute craziest celebrity baby name.

2. Pilot Inspektor -- Jason Lee took a lot of flack for this occupational name, to the extent that he's keeping his second child's name secret.

3. Bronx Mowgli -- Rockers Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz hit a new low with this New York neighborhood-Disney moniker, giving their son the initials B.M.W.

4. Kal-El -- Nicolas Cage's son's name seems fit for a child from another planet.

5. Mars Merkaba -- Upside: It's better than Twitty Milk.

6. Peanut -- Soap star Ingo Rademacher's son's name might give any child an inferiority complex.

7. Diezel -- Word names are in, but fuel names? Sorry, Toni Braxton, but this one is full of gas.

8. Zuma Nesta Rock -- The name of Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale's second son is simply trying way too hard on every level.

9. Huckleberry -- Bear Gryll's newborn son and big brother Marmaduke sound like a pair of cartoon characters. But what can you expect when Dad's name is Bear?

10. Puma -- We have to cite Erykah Badu for being a two-time offender, as she gave her daughter this feline and sneaker name. But Badu also has a wicked sense of humor, as anyone who's ever heard her fabulous song "Call Tyrone" can attest.

I'm a personal friend of Jay and Erykah and you have to understand the people to understand the names they give their children. The name "Seven" is the divine number which represents GOD and it cannot be divided. The name "Puma" means Lion, but that's for the woman, a man would be named "Leo". It is a representation of POWER. And "Mars Merkaba", Mars- The God that protects Earths boundaries and it's inhabitants, also the god of Vegetation & Fertility (Cultivation & Reproduction). "Merkaba"- The bridge between Heaven and Earth. The divine chariot of light. (Mars Merkaba- The god that protects the bridge between Heaven and Earth... Still think those names are weird and ridiculous???

Moxie Crimefighter is a great name.

Huckleberry, though rare, is a legitimate name.

How about normal names like Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper, or Trig?

I will never name my children (I hope to have children someday) like these celebrities do. For boys, I plan to use names like Charles, Norman, Vincent, etc. For girls, I plan to use names like Claudia, Julia, Virginia, etc. I know that these probably sound like "boring" names, but I don't wish to subject my children to eternal heckling.

Merkaba is Sumerian - in the Enuma Elish it is the vehicle that brings the Gods, the Anunaqi, down to earth.

More technically, Merkaba, also spelled Merkabah, is the divine light vehicle allegedly used by ascended masters to connect with and reach those in tune with the higher realms. "Mer" means Light. "Ka" means Spirit. "Ba" means Body. Mer-Ka-Ba means the spirit/body surrounded by counter-rotating fields of light, (wheels within wheels), spirals of energy as in DNA, which transports spirit/body from one dimension to another.

In the Enuma Elish, the tablets from "On High"/ Tablets of creation, it relates the creation modern of man as a genetic manipulation of the Gods. For 600 years, Homo Erectus was kidnapped and taken to Lahmu (Mars) and genetically mixed w/ the Gods to create Homo Sapiens. This project took place in a laboratory marked by the face on Mars.

Lahmu was also the son of Apsu (the sun) and Tiamat (earth) - I would guess that Mars Merkaba means "son of the sun and earth who transform body and spirit into light".

I love the name Merkaba, has very deep spiritual meaning - Mars on the hand, not so much, should have went w/ Lahmu.

Why would they curse a child with a name that sounds like a website username? I know this is the age of the internet, but I'd never name my child after a game avatar.

Sorry but 'twitty milk' is a demeaning name for a girl to have to grow up with.... twit has a meaning in the dictionary and it' not 'smart'. If you named your child 'idiot' wouldn't that be considered child abuse or neglect of some kind? That's essentially what they've done. Bad form definitely.
