Zuma Nesta? That's really bad. I know celebrities want to have "unique" baby names, but they are getting to over the top.

Didn't Gwen Stefani say something when she named Kingston to the effect that she didn't want to name her child something that would make her child uncomfortable later? Don't remember exactly what she said, but she must have forgotten it.

I read once where Ron Howard said they gave their children names of the places where they had been conceived (middle names), so possibly Zuma was conceived in Zuma, NM and Kingston was brought about in Jamiaca????

Howard did joke at the time that they had considered naming one "back seat".

If I'd known that this was the trend when I had my kids they'd be named Boston and Miami

Mercedes- that gets me every time!

Actually, Mercedes is a very common Spanish name that predates the car by a long stretch. It is a name of religious significance, like a lot of Spanish names, that derives from the word for mercy (Our Lady of Mercy).
