Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Penn & Teller, masters of magic and illusion... so when Penn Jillette named his daughter, what magical name did he give her? I'd give you a clue but I'm visiting New England where someone stole my drink and the thief has to be caught first.
2. I loved Arthur Ashe; in the days when some players at Wimbledon were venting their spleens on court and abusing the umpires, Ashe came across as a true gentleman. He married a photographer so what snappy name did they give their daughter?
3. David and Victoria Beckham's eldest son, Brooklyn, was named after the New York Borough. Why did the former captain of England's football team call his first son after such an all-American place?
4. Rob Morrow's parents had fairly prosaic occupations - his mother was a dental hygienist and his father was in industrial lighting - but his own career in television and movies clearly affected his sense of humour. What would you call your daughter if your surname was Morrow?
5. We all know that Michael Jackson gave his kids some pretty weird names but his brother Jermaine carved out his own niche in the royal hall of name shame. Which one of these names was given to a son of Jermaine's?
6. When celebrities give their first child a weird name the chances are they're all going to be like that, which is fair enough - if it affected only one he or she would feel picked on. After three daughters with odd names what did the 'naked chef' Jamie Oliver call his son? Although it does sound like he'll be a good friend to his toys.
7. There are times when I wonder if celebrities should be allowed to have children at all, or if they are, then they should be forced to choose from a list of boring names. John Cougar Mellencamp has several children, one of whom was named...?
8. Shannyn Sossamon, star of 'A Knight's Tale', and her partner apparently didn't want to choose a name for their son, they wanted words instead. I'm not sure why an actress mother and book illustrator father would go looking in a laboratory for names, oops, for words but it sounds like they did. What was their first child called?
9. Ving Rhames, who came to fame in 'Pulp Fiction', adopted a short form of his own name (Irving) so you might think he'd be very conscious of the impact names can have. He certainly seemed to think names rule the world when he called his daughter something Judy Garland would have been proud to have thought of... which was?
10. Bono's daughters were named Jordan and Memphis Eve, and one of his sons was called John Abraham. So far so nearly normal. But before I rise to heaven in a whirlwind of amazement at the names celebrities call their children, what was the name Bono chose for his other son?
