Ashlee Simpson & Pete Wentz already hate their son, and he was just born
Ashlee Simpson-Wentz gave birth to a baby boy last night and simultaneously won the "You've Got to Be Shitting Me" Award for the most ridiculous baby name. People reports:
Bronx Mowgli Wentz weighed 7 lbs., 11 oz., and was 20 1/2 inches long.
"Ashlee, Pete and baby Bronx are all healthy and happy, and thank everyone for their well wishes!" a spokesperson tells PEOPLE.
Bronx Mowgli Wentz. So I'm guessing Chewbacca Squishypants was already taken?
Congrats to Ashlee & Pete and best of luck to Bronx. You're gonna need it.

Good for them. Now they can put a psychiatrist on retainer for what will inevitably years of therapy... Why is my dad a douche? Why is mom a talentless hack?
3. michelle - November 21, 2008 10:47 AM
the first name would make a good middle name. now where did they get the middle name from??? this kids will obviously be emo...
worst. name. ever.
4. PoohEater - November 21, 2008 10:47 AM
Well, on the bright side, I guess that means they're planning on him being raised by a pack of wolves.
5. lucci - November 21, 2008 10:49 AM
i'd still do her!

Just awful. Ship these nobodies off to an island and let us get back to bikini pics and nipple slips.

Mowgli - does this mean they can't feed him after midnight, or he turns into a gremlin?
WHEE
8. AJ - November 21, 2008 10:55 AM
The name IS ridiculous (as should be expected), but doesn't Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale beat Bronx Mowgli?
9. Kate - November 21, 2008 10:55 AM
I googled it - Mowgli is a character from the Jungle Book. Commence making fun.
Just want everyone to close their eyes, and picture a doddering old man with a cane telling you his name is Bronx Mowgli.
10. gerard Vandenberg - November 21, 2008 10:56 AM
They're lucky today: WE HATE THEM TOO ALREADY, folks!!
11. Rough Daddy - November 21, 2008 11:01 AM
They are so calculated on being celebs its just sickening!
12. Kate - November 21, 2008 11:01 AM
I'm hoping one of these kids pulls a Menendez and blows away their parents for saddling them with such horrible fucking names. What are these people thinking? I'm all for a name not everyone else has, but give me a fucking break. Your kid is already going to be different for being the kid of a celebrity, why make it worse?
13. Kate - November 21, 2008 11:04 AM
And what's with the New York suburb names? So everyone wants to name their kid Brooklyn or, now apparently, Bronx. Fuck it. I'm naming my first kid "Staten Island".
Just wait. Very soon someone will name their child Manhattan. I'm telling you its only a matter of time.
14. Clem - November 21, 2008 11:15 AM
He looks like a shaved baboon.
15. Elliot_Spitz_On_Her - November 21, 2008 11:15 AM
I named my kid Bangkok just as a reminder of the wild and passionate sex life that produced him, and subsequently vanished upon his arrival.

Bronx
Thats what they called their dog's name in the 90's cartoon Gargoyles haha funny I wonder if they ever watched that movie
19. Area Man - November 21, 2008 11:26 AM
It would have been a lot easier on the kid down the road if they had instead named him something normal and had "I need attention" tattooed on their own foreheads.
20. Jesse - November 21, 2008 11:27 AM
Idk I kinda like 'Bronx'.. but 'Mowgli'? That's just plain stupid. And I do agree.. Zuma Nesta Rock takes the damn cake with the stupidest name on the planet. kingston- cutest name ever.. then they go to Zuma Nestsa? Ridiculous. I'm all for naming your kid a unique name but that's taking it too far.. Zuma Nesta.. Mowgli.. fucking ridic.
21. Mike - November 21, 2008 11:29 AM
If the really wanted to fuck over the kid, they could have just named him Rough Daddy Wentz. Then he really would have grown up to be a big pussy.
22. Kate - November 21, 2008 11:29 AM
The kids initials are BMW?!? Seriously?!
23. Me 2 - November 21, 2008 11:29 AM
What a f'ugly ass couple. She looks so bad as a red-head and he is himself and would never look good with anyone.
I feel genuinely sorry for this baby. I bet neither of them has ever even been to the bronx but of course they'll come up with some semi-legitimate reason why they named him that. Let me tell you the real reason: Ashlee thinks "Bronx" is a cool word b/c it has an x on the end and Mowgli was Pete's childhood hero/first crush. Sick.

29. Yea - blah blah - November 21, 2008 11:37 AM
You know I have a 2 year old and we spent almost 6 months figuring out waht to name her so she wont get made fun of in school, life etc...
These 2 idiors just made shit up and slapped it on the birth cert. Serioulsy, come ON! guys money fades so when your precious lil Bronx in in Public school with normal kids - guess who will be the one hiding in his locker....besides that the kid is already at a disadvantage - he will probably only grow to be about 5' tall anyways....Let the swirlies begin!!!!
I am still weeping for the future.....

Shannon Sossamon named her baby girl Audio Science. Any of these names seem to say "This little bastard is going to fucking pay for destroying my vagina."

You almost made me choke to death on my starburst candy with that one.
Thanks a bunch.
35. Silent Deadly Wind - November 21, 2008 11:58 AM
Actually "Bronx" is a sacred Native American name that means "boy with father who tries to conceive in poopchute".
36. dragon43078 - November 21, 2008 12:14 PM
Where is the donation line at. That kid is going to need therapy for the rest of his life. Once for the name and forever for who he has as parents. Maybe he can cop a feel off of auntie Jessica.
37. Daphne - November 21, 2008 12:19 PM
DUMBO must have been taken (if you live outside NYC, just google it) and Brooklyn is SO yesterday...idiots.
38. Kool Thing - November 21, 2008 12:25 PM
That is just wrong! I actually don't mind when people call their kids after places/things if they make a nice name. But Mowgli isn't even a nice word. It's just absurd.
39. jacy - November 21, 2008 12:34 PM
what the fuck is wrong with these people? that has to be the most obnoxious baby name i have ever heard. it's going to be ugly for one, a normal name could have rescued it... but no. let's just hope it doesn't get the cursed simpson jawline and the father's small penis.
40. kitty_kat - November 21, 2008 12:44 PM
Mowgli? One (or both) of them has been watching WAY too much Jungle Book...

We can only hope that the baby gets Ashley's nose (the 1st one she had). Karma's a bitch.
43. ID - November 21, 2008 12:57 PM
and how do Bronx and Mowgli fit together? Mowgli lives sooo far away from da Bronx. maybe it represents wentz's life - he felt like an outsider, just like jungle people, and then moved to a big City where he found out he SUCKS
44. WTF - November 21, 2008 1:02 PM
Mowgli already has his first session with a therapist booked for 2013.
45. oops - November 21, 2008 1:08 PM

you're thinking mogwai. although i wouldn't have put it past them with that one either.

Pete Wentz made sure there will no calls, text or email to him from Ashley tonight. He really really is dieing to see Twilight

AT least he'll have Brooklyn Beckham to keep him company in the nurse's office.

I hate them passionately! Her "music" is dreadful and his? I think MAYBE I heard ONE song and that was pretty craptastic too . I cant bare to look at either of them, they are so ugly. I hope by some miracle the kid will be cute.....hard enough to be a hottie named Bronx Mowgli..but to be an ugly kid named Bronx Mowgli? There aint enough drugs in the WORLD to make that hurt go away!
51. Lerxt - November 21, 2008 2:03 PM

54. fearsarewishes - November 21, 2008 2:31 PM
They name their kid so his initials are BMW. They name their kid after a half-ass luxury care.
Please kill your heroes.
55. fearsarewishes - November 21, 2008 2:34 PM
Care? Car...what's the difference?
56. Pathetic Worm - November 21, 2008 2:57 PM
BMW is a less attractive acronym to school bullies than say, HUMMER or A2M

I think they were going for a high score in scrabble.
58. ashleys bigole schnozz - November 21, 2008 3:58 PM
Bronx? Like Ashley or Pete have ever been to the Bronx... LOL
They seem like a nice couple, but they shouldn't have given in to the celebrity trend of naming your child the stupidest/ugliest/"deepest" name possible. Why not name him Joe after the grandpa? They gave their dog a nicer name for heaven's sake. I'd rather be named Hemingway than Bronx.
No offense to those from the Bronx, my parents grew up there and they told me it was a delight. Heheheh.
59. Jupiter Girl - November 21, 2008 4:06 PM
BRONX?? im sick of the MAX, KNOX, BRONX, MADDOX bullshit! Sooo played out!
60. Mollie - November 21, 2008 4:20 PM
Wasn't Mowgli a baby who was abandoned and raised by wolves?
61. zsa - November 21, 2008 4:39 PM
So, are they hating each other yet? I give them 2 years, at the most.
I think I've become imune to celebrity baby names, cuz I just don't have a reaction anymore to the names these people give their children.
My last reaction was with Suri, which sounds to me like some kind of Indian goolash. Shiloh sounds like a dog's name, and Pax sounds like the letters on a robot that stand for the manufactuer's name.
Isn't Mowgli the kid's name in 'The Jungle Book'? Poor kid.

Say the name "Bronx Wentz" outloud. It feels like biting down on a nail file.

Nice try, but they couldn't beat Gwen Stefani.

PETE WENTZ CHANNELED HIS INNER NEGRO (YES, HIS MOTHER IS BLACK) BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY LILY WHITE ASHLEE WOULD HAVE COME UP WITH THAT GHETTO BOROUGH AS A "COOL" BABY NAME.

68. mowgli is not mogwai! - November 21, 2008 11:17 PM
fyi-- "mogwai" means monster in chinese.
"mowgli" is the name of the kid from the jungle book, a novel by rudyard kipling. i think mowgli is an interesting name and has more character than "bronx." and mowgli wentz sounds much better bronx wentz.
it's the combination of bronx and mowgli and wentz, and the initials bmw, that screw the whole thing up.
69. alan - November 22, 2008 12:34 AM
Apparently Brooklyn was taken, so they resorted to the borough were puerto ricans and scumbags reside...
70. Paul - November 22, 2008 12:36 AM
Just another argument for the forced sterilization of all celebrities. Bronx Mowgli is the kid's name. Pete Wentz is his dad. Joe Simpson is his grandpa. That kid is fucked for life.
71. eggs - November 22, 2008 1:03 AM
@#68
That's not monster in mandarin chinese (I'm pretty sure there's no language called chinese- it's pretty much dialects and mandarin). That'd be mo gui.

Bronx? Bronx? How does a father from Illinois and a mother from Texas, both now living in California, come up with Bronx? Come on.
77. downtime - November 22, 2008 9:12 AM
#69, slight correction - puerto ricans and albanians/italians. but you were so close.
As a Bronx resident I would like to thank them for screwing up my google news alerts.
I only hope that one day soon they make it into the NYPD Blotter.
78. Cliff Clavin - November 22, 2008 10:52 AM
#75, #9 is not as dumb as #45 who claims "mogwai" is the Jungle Book character.

They're probably not serious. If Britney could trick the public about her kid's name, they could. Sure why not.

I heard Mowgli is some fag character from a book for fags. Are there any homos here to confirm?
81. Nicole - November 23, 2008 12:05 AM
Wasn't Gismo a Mowgli? no wait he was something else... close enough. ok I think it's the era of coming of with the most fucked up name for celeb's kids. What's next??? ---This is my kid Penis face and his sister Pussy lips... Good lord.. what happened to Shawn or Ryan??? Good names..
They should of called the kid fucked ... cause that's what he is with that name!
82. gumball - November 23, 2008 1:36 AM
Look at the silly pretenders acting like they are emo rebels and all that? It's so hateful they have a kid and named it something that will haunt and cause misery for him all the days of his life on purpose..? Daddy and Mommy want you to be an entertainer outcast. It's a cutesy name they fought over and worried about for months. Has to stand out and be freaky. Forget enjoying life, education or accessing any normal career. What loosers and stupidos., they ought to be taken to the woodshed and taught a few things about life.
83. gumball - November 23, 2008 1:42 AM
The Jungle Book (1894) is a collection of stories written by Rudyard Kipling. The stories were first published in magazines in 1893–4. The original publications contained illustrations, some by Rudyard's father, John Lockwood Kipling. Kipling was born in India and spent the first six years of his childhood there. After about ten years in England, he went back to India and worked there for about six-and-half years. These stories were written when Kipling lived in Vermont.[1]
The tales in the book (and also those in The Second Jungle Book which followed in 1895, and which includes five further stories about Mowgli) are fables, using animals in an anthropomorphic manner to give moral lessons. The verses of The Law of the Jungle, for example, lay down rules for the safety of individuals, families and communities. Kipling put in them nearly everything he knew or "heard or dreamed about the Indian jungle."[2] Other readers have interpreted the work as allegories of the politics and society of the time.[3] The best-known of them are the three stories revolving around the adventures of an abandoned 'man cub' Mowgli who is raised by wolves in the Indian jungle. The most famous of the other stories are probably "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi", the story of a heroic mongoose, and "Toomai of the Elephants", the tale of a young elephant-handler. Kotick, The White Seal seeking for his people a haven where they would be safe from hunters, has been considered a metaphor for Zionism, then in its beginning.[

The only way Lil' Bronxie could make up for that name (sounds like what you would name a wolf) is by being cute and he's not ever getting any help from his parents in that area so they felt really bad and gave him BMW for his initials so he would seem cool when he is ready to get laid and therefore be able to procreate one day cuz they both know there is a 110% chance he won't ever get laid based on his inherited looks.
88. Kaity - January 2, 2009 3:29 PM
Would everyone just shut the fuck up about what they named their baby?
That's their business, not yours.
