by As celebrity baby names took a turn toward intriguing in the early days, people became more judgmental about celebrity choice.
A lot of people who don’t understand/approve of unusual celebrity baby names feel that parents are unfairly positioning their children to have some sort of feeling for their nickname at some point in their lives (although, tbh, who of us doesn’t ). ?).
Here are some celebrity babies that the masses were ~concerned~ about in the early days and how they are doing today.
1.
Rocco Ritchie, son of Madonna and Guy Ritchie, was born in August 2000, although the Italian nickname seems unusual to many Material Girl fans.
Today, Rocco, 22, is a model-turned-artist who uses the pseudonym Rhed for his work.
2.
Jermajesty Jackson, son of Jermaine Jackson and Alejandra Genevieve Oaziaza, was born in October 2000.
3.
Willow Camille Reign Smith was born on Halloween 2000 to Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, a name fans have since speculated about is just a flip of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air Alum.
Willow is still Willow, although she is no longer a Smith after reportedly dropping her last name. A talented artist and musician, she proves she has the talent of her gene pool and a drive to dominate on her own terms.
