It’s August 22, and time for my first annual Round-Up of the ten funniest celebrity baby names of 2006 (so far). You’ll notice I use the term “funniest.” Not the “dumbest,” and certainly not the “stupidest” — and there’s a reason for this. Besides my dedication to celebrity baby name watching, this blog is dedicated to being a “vitriol-free” site. Rather than stooping to the cheap shots of four-letter words and gratuitous sexual references beloved of so many bloggers, I actually try to “write” my blog posts using the English language in its original form. Let’s face it, anyone can poke fun at celebrities by going for the shock value of a curse, or a reference to someone’s body parts. It’s a bit more of a challenge (but also more satisfying) to keep your readers entertained by your sheer wit. Still there? OK, back to my original discussion — the ten funniest baby names of 2006 (so far).

Starting at number 10, the funniest celebrity baby names are:

10. True Harlow, the daughter of actress Joely Fisher and cinematographer Christopher Duddy.

9. Moses, the son of actress Gwyneth Paltrow and singer Chris Martin.

8. Zander Ryan, son of singer Mindy McCready and her husband Billy McKnight.

7. Suri, alleged daughter of actor Tom Cruise and actress Katie Holmes.

6. Grier Hammond, daughter of actress Brooke Shields and producer Chris Henchy.

5. Ace Shane, son of softball player Jennie Finch and baseball player Casey Daigle.

4. Bluebell Madonna, daughter of former Spice Girls singer Geri Halliwell.

The drum roll please…

Coming in at # 3: the most talked-about baby of the last 2,000 years, Shiloh Nouvel, daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

Coming in at #2: streaking past the funny names of those babies born earlier in 2006, the very newborn Jonas Rocket, son of musician Tom DeLonge and wife Jennifer DeLonge.

And without question, the # 1 funniest celebrity baby name of 2006 (so far), is the son, and second child of comedian (?) Penn Jillette and his wife Emily: Zolten Jillette. In case you didn’t know, Zolten, among other things, was supposedly the name of Dracula’s dog. Little Zolten joins sister Moxie Crimefighter in the Jillette household. Moxie, I might add, is currently the odds-on favorite to take # 1 in the silliest celebrity baby name of the decade competition (2000-2010).

If you can’t get enough of funny celebrity baby names (and who can) check out this celebrity baby name database. It currently has more than 1,000 baby names listed. If you can’t find one you’re looking for, you can email them and they’ll find it for you and add it to their database.

Olympics softball star Jennie Finch, and pitcher husband Casey Daigle, welcomed a baby boy on Thursday, May 4th. In deference to Casey, who said he had always wanted to name a son Ace, the couple dubbed their firstborn “Ace Shane.” The name “Ace” apparently comes from the Latin, meaning “one,” so I suppose the intent here is “# 1″. At least that’s what we hope was intended. Other famous Aces include Ace Ventura, pet detective, and Ace Frehley, lead guitarist for rock band Kiss. Hopefully Jennie and Casey are not hoping little Ace will grow up along those lines.
