Synopses & Reviews
You Called Me What? is a unique guide to naming your infant as the stars do. It features 500 or so bold, beautiful, or bizarre celebrity baby names, from Gwyneth's Apple to Angelina's Zahara. Each entry lists the meaning or inspiration for the name, or occasionally a spoof meaning. (Brooklyn: David and Victoria Beckham's oldest boy was famously named after the New York borough where he was conceived. Lucky they weren't in Queens.) It also includes a "You've Got to Be Kidding" section, featuring celebrity tots like Peaches Honeyblossom Geldof, Satchel Farrow, and Zowie Bowie (all of whom, very sensibly, later changed their names).
