Fergie Gives Birth And Bestows Awful Name On Her Son

I guess Fergie must have lost a bet or thinks she is way more cool than she actually is. Fergie gave birth yesterday and named her new son Axl Jack. Yep, she spelled it the way the bloated, violent, lead singer of Guns N Roses spells it rather than the way the Eddie Murphy character spelled it in Beverly Hills Cop.

Axl Jack sounds like a bottle of booze.
It could also be a male porn star name.
It could be the name of a dive bar or a really bad restaurant.
It could be the name of a Billy Joel song.
It could be the name of a villain on a soap opera.
It could be a car part.

I don't understand why they just didn't name the kid Jack. Jack Duhamel is a fine name. Axl Jack Duhamel sounds like the name of the kid you know always has some pot on him when you are in school and need to get wasted.

Yeah, the name threw me too. Not a fan.

Jonathan Andrew Sheen said...

Well, who wouldn't want to name their kid after a violent woman-beating coward who idolizes Charles Manson?

Cleodacat said...

Fergie thinks she is Rock & Roll and picked a rocking name for her kid, no worse than Zuma, Apple, or Mowgli.

MollyMo said...

I think they named him Axl Jack so that they can nickname him AJ. As far as crazy names go, this one is fairly tame.

Christopher Cruz said...

Dear sweet baby Jesus- that's an AWFUL name to stick your kid with.

Sarah said...

Yeah, it doesn't really roll off the tongue.

FrenchGirl said...

A rock and roll name better than Mowgli in my opinion

FSP said...

Poor little Apple Jacks.

Unknown said...

I thought it was a beer/cocktail hybrid.

Then again, with Fergie for a mother, name is the least of AJ's troubles.

Karen said...

Still better than North West.

I'm getting over the hate on baby names. Celebrities have always given interesting names to their kids and now everyone tries to give their babies "unique" names. If the biggest parenting mistake a couple makes is what they name their baby, they deserve a fucking award.

Kelly said...

It's not that bad!

Tyler said...

Far better than North West for sure, and agree he'll probably end up being referred to AJ anyways.

audrey said...

There are way worse names--the latest being North West. Moxie CrimeFighter, Pilot Inspektor, Dweezil to name just a few.

Diner said...

@FSP I was thinking Apple Jacks too!

Seven of Eleven said...

Axl Jack, meh. I agree with @Audrey, there are far worse names. Moon Unit Zappa!

Ever since the Diet Pepsi commercial, I have had a mad crush on Josh Duhamel. When he races the little girl down on the aisle and tells the older lady "I'm checking YOU out!"

Meg said...

Maybe they're a fan of the show "The Middle"?

VIPblonde said...

Maybe they're just huge Enpire Records fans. "Does Axl have a jack?"

Erin B said...

It's their right to name him whatever they want. It's not what I would pick, but it's none of my business. I'm 7 1/2 months pregnant now, & I get annoyed with friends & family weighing in on what we "really should name the baby."

Seven of Eleven said...

@VIPblonde: I... um... I... sorry, what were you saying? Got a little distracted there. I will not click again, I will not click again (clicks again).

Ms Cool said...

@Erin- don't tell anyone the baby's name until he/she is born. My MIL ruined the name we picked by saying it was a dog's name. It kind od was, though...

Maybe the baby isn't named after Axl Rose.

Tammy said...

It sounds like the name of a tool.

abob said...

Then see what the kids do once they're older, Zowee Bowie now calls himself Duncan - just about the polar opposite.

Sweary baby knows what it's about.

Brandy said...

Say it fast and it sounds like "Apple Jacks" Congrats on the birth of Apple Jacks Duhamel

Megan said...

I have a cousin named Axel, I think it's a Scandinavian/Germanic type name.. I dunno, Axl Jack just makes it sound strange.

caralw said...

I'm not concerned with the name. Why does Enty assume it was entirely Fergie's decision?

Lucas said...

I will add this to the list of things I won't forgive Fergie for, no matter how hot she is. Along with this.

Rose said...

I like the name Axl, although I would prefer Axle. Jack is a good name if he doesn't like it. Axle Rose is not the first thought I get even thought I grew up with his music and I doubt it will the first thought of this baby's generation.

Tru Leigh said...

I have an Axl Jack in the truck of my car.

auntliddy said...

Didnt jess simp just name her baby axel? I dont like it but hey its her kid and it isnt as bad as motorhead.

Jennifer H. said...

Axl Jack? Makes me think of Candle Jack from "Freakazoid." Say his name 3 times and he appears.

Axl Jack, Axl Jack, Axl Jack!

Zowie Bowie is a film director. He directed "Source Code" and "Moon". David Bowie's real name is David Jones so his son goes by the name Duncan Jones.

kate27 said...

Lol I totally thought of Apple Jacks when I first heard his name too. Poor kid.

ladybaus said...

Its a very traditional Dutch name. Just cause one POS singer has the same name does mean everyone named Axl should be associated with it....I like that they went with a traditional name---not some eccentric douchey name

NaughtyNurse said...

They named their kid Axl, because daddy is dumb as a box of rocks, and mommy is an ex-meth head.

Alexa Rose said...

I like the name, but I think they should have spelled it Axel. He is probably going to go by just Axl and Jack is the middle name, right? I am just glad she isn't pregnant anymore.

Alexa Rose said...

Also, she should stop trying to sing Sweet Child O Mine, she doesn't do it justice.

Bit dams said...

I love the name Jack. So to me, the name is a least 1/2 great. It had to be a little different. When my kids were born every other girl was either Britney or Ashley. Now I see Olive and June are the new "popular" names. Axl doesn't remind me of anything. (Am I the only one???).

Henriette said...

He sounds like a dweller of a trailer park.
