Ah, Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon. What sort of crazy, paparazzi-controlled world have you two innocent lambs been born into?
Why couldn't your parents -- the edible Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt -- name you something sweet and simple, like Anna and George? Why, for that matter, couldn't they follow that other annoying American tradition of simply adding a 'junior' tag. Wouldn't 'Angelina Junior' and 'Brad Junior' have worked just as well? How will either of you ever date when compelled to pick up the phone and say, 'Hi, this is Marcheline?' When will you finally get used to Knox Knox jokes?
Then again, why blame Jolie and Pitt for a celebrity world that has long gone horribly wrong. Why hold them accountable for what their predecessors set in motion eons ago? Maybe people idolised as screen gods and goddesses simply feel the need to create something, if only a ridiculous baby name no other sane parent will deem fit for use.
For those who have put these names far out of their minds, we're happy to press the Refresh button.
