What is it with famous people and their inability to name children. Frank Zappa has a kid called Moon Unit, Chris Martin has Apple... and now... Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson have had to do some explaining as to why they named their son Bronx Mowgli.
Speaking on Ryan Seacrest's radio show, Wentz said that the couple's passion for The Jungle Book inspired their choice.
"The Jungle Book was something that me and Ashlee bonded over," he said. "It's a cool name." Wentz also claimed that he was enjoying the confusion caused by using the first name Bronx. "We've been throwing [ideas] back and forth a while," he commented. "It's kind of cool to just leave the narrative what it is."
The narrative?
"People are stoked or pissed or whatever. And you're like, you know what: I don't think anyone really has the real story."
When asked whether the baby's initials BMW were intended as a joke, the musician replied: "No, no, no, it definitely is his name, but I don't think anybody knows what the real story is of why or how."
Is it me, or should he have not bothered at all?
