Apple, Moses and "Chewbacca"?

Featured Replies

Haha funny little story i found

 

"It's okay to call your kid Chewbacca", says Chris Martin

11/07/2008 8:20:00 AM

 

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin (father to Apple and Moses) has defended his wacky taste in kid's names, saying that even Chewbacca is an alright name for your kid. Love it!

 

In an interview with Blender magazine, Chris reckons the fuss over naming babies is ridiculous - names are just noises you make with your mouth, anyway.

 

"People make a big fuss over names," he says. "Names of babies, names of albums, names of bands.

 

"There’s nothing weird about calling your baby Chewbacca if that’s what you want to call your baby. It’s no stranger than Sarah."

 

Would you rather call your baby Sarah or Chewbacca? Screw tradition - we're going Star Wars all the way!

This was posted a few days ago in an other interview... but oh well, I love Chris and his wacky taste in names anyways. :D

Rofl

 

Chewbacca i would call it my child only in the case if i would want to torture him :D

 

whatever i like that chris is original

so what about "shittykitty" for your next daughter, mr. martin? or "wankerbanker" for a son?

 

the world isn't flat boy! and I don't believe what you're saying, you are only defending without wanting to think....

 

by the way, I always hated my parents for giving me my name and so did my brother too

neither, nor...it's 'Maybe' and 'Probably' !!! :laugh3:

 

and I vote for 'Definite'! :P

Press people love making things look worse than they are. Chris didn't come up with this name from nowhere. He'd answered this after being asked a really stupid question (Blender magazine).

 

"My husband and I are expecting our first baby, and we’ve got the name narrowed down to Papaya, Chewbacca and Sandal. Can you help us pick?

I’m not sure this person is serious, but why can’t you have all three? P.C.S. Martin? That’d be classic. People make a big fuss over names. Names of babies, names of albums, names of bands. There’s nothing weird about calling your baby Chewbacca if that’s what you want to call your baby. It’s no stranger than Sarah. A name is just a noise, and if you like it, then fuck what everyone else says."

I think it's better if people stop giving their children the traditional names ..it's boring :dozey: ..Apple and Moses are beautiful names

I don't think the parents think about how the kid will feel having an unusual name, esp. in celebrity terms when they are treated different because of who their parents are. Pile more pressure on why don't ya? I just hope that the kids with the weird names have got a tough skin, either that or mummy and daddy to splash the dough.

What about Bellynelly??:rolleyes:

:rolleyes:

 

Great idea! What about Roll-eyes??:rolleyes:

Apple is a beautiful name!

There's an interview with Gwyneth in which she says that people name their daughters after flowers/plants like 'Rose', 'Ivy', and 'Daisy', but what's so weird about naming your child after a fruit? I agree with her.

I just remembered the Gwyneth interview with Jonathan Ross where he asks her about the kids' names. And Gwyneth was like "It's not like calling a little girl "Sh*thouse"!" LOL

 

Woman has a point. The name "Apple" seems to suit her.

yea, I'll call my kid 'doctor' so it wouldn't even have to study, or give it a double name 'doctor professor'...imagine that kid at pre-school when the teacher calls it :P
