FTFBG: He told The Sun: 'Yuck! What's he going to be called in school? Ass? Stella? It's a girl's name, let's face it.'


Hm... he kinda has a point. While the names of his daughters are a bit unusual, they're still clearly girl's names & not quite as obviously open to mocking. Also, he was probably high when he picked out those names and now notsomuch, see.

Being a rock star's kid entitles you to a crazy name, fair and square. And Geldof is a sort of a rock star, no matter what anyone says.

Being a rock star's grandkid with a crazy name is only fair if at least one of your parents is also a rock star. Otherwise, it's too diluted. The rockstardom dissipates if not invigorated.

If Peaches really wanted to troll her dad, she would've named the kid Mondays... I can picture it now:

Think of all the kids who become Pink Floyd fans and feel the inexplicable need to watch 'The Wall'. He's gotta be seeing a few bob from that.

I blame Frank Zappa for this modern trend of strange names. I mean, seriously, Moon Unit? Dweezil?

They aren't sports cars. These are living, thinking, people you're bestowing names upon. Don't give your children strange names simply so you can laugh when their birth certificate arrives.

Penn is a very vocal teetotal so he wasn't smoking anything.

He and his wife like the name Moxie since it's uncommon, but not too strange. I had a manger named Moxie while working part time in college.

Crimefighter came about because he thinks middle names are useless, so he went for ridiculous, and when the kid eventually gets pulled over by the police, Moxie can confidently say to them: "I'm on your side, as a matter of fact, my middle name is CrimeFighter."

Not even close, Geldof is a billionaire. He co-founded production company Ten Alps, and you can thank him for reality programming like Big Brother and Survivor.By 2011, his net worth was listed at $1.2 billion.

Have to agree with Bob and Di Atribe. They'll probably just call the kid Dylan and forget all the rest of pretentious nonsense.

According to celebrity net worth, he's worth a cool $70 million. So I don't think he does much of anything he doesn't want to do. Yeah, I don't know how either.

===================================== =========

So THAT's the son-of-a-biatch I have to blame for all the crappy programming on TV? Well, him and Mark Burnett.

As for names, well hell Bob is named after that wizard dude from those lord of the rings movies, so I don't see where the guy has room to gripe.

I call B.S. on his net worth being $1.2 billion.

Bob Geldof's net worth.

Ten Alps Outline for 2012

Ten Alps net worth prospect for 2012 is 37.1m (pounds) = $60 million.

Still a net worth of $70 million is a lot of dough.
