Get a Different Name Day

February 13th is Get a Different Name Day. It was created by the folks at www.wellcat.com.
Most of us had no say in the name our parents gave us. We’re stuck with whatever they thought was cool, interesting, or appropriate at our birth. And that has resulted in some people who hate the names they were given.
Children of celebrity parents often seem to get saddled with the strangest names.
- Atticus, son of Casey Affleck & Summer Phoenix (actors)
- Bronx Mowgli Wentz, son of Ashlee Simpson (singer) & Pete Wentz (Musician, Fall Out Boy)
- Ignatius Martin Upton, son of Cate Blanchett (actor)
- Jagger Joseph Blue Goldberg, daughter of Soleil Moon-Frye (actor)
- Taa-Jah, daughter of Sarah McLachlan (singer)
- Ptolemy John , son of Gretchen Mol (actor) & Kip Williams (director)
- Jagger Song Scallions, child of Brett Scallions (Fuel) & Abby Gennet (MTV VJ)
As writers, we share the ultimate power of parents. We are responsible for the naming of our characters.
