Exxon? Zaxxon?

Congratulations. Your kid sounds like an industrial solvent.

Exton-Movil.

Meh. That's fine. Sounds posh, upscale, but not snooty.

Exton Downey, Esq., at your service.

Its not Moxie Crimefighter or Pilot Inspektor.
 
2012-02-07 02:26:32 PM
Sounds English. It's not worse than Purple Nurple, Squish or Grundel.

His next kid can be Downingtown

Uncommon but not out-and-out weird like Moon Unit, Apple, or Bear Blu. Exton's the name of a town in England, so no weirder than naming a kid Brooklyn, Madison, or Sydney.

Middle names "Sean" and "Cord."

Downey has a son, Indio, 18, with ex-wife Deborah Falconer.

Okay, THAT one's dumb.

Find a way to express yourself in other ways than to name your kid weird names. Trust me. Unless you're a movie star in which case it doesn't really matter.

SilentStrider: I've heard worse.

Indeed. This is small potatoes compared to "Orangejello",Lemonjello","Moon Unit" and "Ikhyd",to name an odious few....

If you qualify as an A-list movie star, you should be banned from naming your own child unless you put millions in trust for the poor kid's eventual psychological problems and therapy sessions from having such a dumb ass name as "Exton".

I'll put £10 on the fact that if he has a daughter next he'll call her 'Valdez'

It's not that bad really. If you could demonstrate some kind of provenance, I'd consider it too.

Provenance and suitability aren't always compatible.

Wouldn't his next kid be Nexton?
 
2012-02-07 05:14:55 PM
I guess that's preferable to Upson.
 
2012-02-07 05:15:34 PM
If you say his name backwards it's nazi.
 
2012-02-07 05:18:27 PM
Someone please explain the stupid celebrity baby name thing.

Driven to insanity with nothing to do between projects?
Trying to outdo their peers?
Condition of deal with the devil that brought fame in the first place?

I went to high school in Exton and found Fark on there about 10 years ago, so I'm getting a kick out of all your comments.

1) Become top Hollywood actor
2) Bang another actor
3) Name child "John" or "Jane"
4) ???
5) Profit

I'm still working on #1, and thinking about who I should choose for #2.

It's also the name of the lackey who assassinates King Richard to curry favor with that usurping bastard Henry Bolingbroke in Richard II. I wouldn't want my kid named after a sneaking suck-up like that.
 
2012-02-07 05:26:21 PM
Because Robert Downey Jr. Jr. would've just been silly...
 
2012-02-07 05:29:17 PM
That child will grow up to be a power top. I'm not sure why but the name just screams gay porn.

Diogenes: Congratulations. Your kid sounds like an industrial solvent.

His kid sounds like the 'burb up 611 from Philly.

This is more following the general trend of terrible white person names more than it is the trend of terrible Hollywood names. Ashton, Hunter, Taylor, Spencer, etc. These are like the white person versions of Shawntae, LaShonda, Dnettra, etc.

Like seriously, if I were a bigoted hiring person, I would throw out the applications with "Ashton Hunter Smith" on them as well as the ones with "LaShonda Toya Washington." Ugh. Ugh times a thousand.

Crazy for having a baby at 46.
 
2012-02-07 06:24:56 PM
Exton sounds like a family name. Kids get those kinds of name when a family last name might die out and there is money or a title associated with the name. It sounds like something that people have been doing throughout history, rather than the recent celeb fashion of naming children after fruit, comic book aliens, or jobs in the transportation industry.

to be fair, Audio Science's mom's first name is "Shannyn", so her parents were d-bags too...

Option #2. It wouldn't do for celeb X to name their child David or Darla when celebs Y and Z are giddily going for Bronx Mowgli,Apple or Egypt. Oh no. It MUST be trendy or else....or else....they'll be regarded with toxic contempt!



Or something.

It beats the queerbait "aiden" variations.
