Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox have announced the name of their son and it is Bodhi Ransom. Bodhi is a Buddhist name which translates to enlightenment as in someday hopefully Megan will be Bodhi about what an a-hole Brain is. The middle name is Ransom because it will probably take a huge ransom to get Megan away from the talons of BAG unless he can find someone else he can control like he does her. In the past week of celebrity births we had two completely normal names of Eric (Simon Cowell) and Hazel (Emily Blunt and John Krasinski) so I guess we were do for something strange. I can maybe live with the Bodhi if I thought the couple were actually practicing Buddhists. The Ransom thing I just don't get.

ReplyDeleteI wish my a-hole had a brain.
ReplyDelete@FSP, was it do for something strange?
Delete@7 - it's thinking of taking up Buddhism.
Delete"Brain" lol.
ReplyDeleteIt's not the worst name ever. I think Hazel, I think of Hazel thw witch. But then I'm old.
Julia roberts named her daughter hazel after her grandmother. Jenn garner named her daughter after her grandmother. I think thats pretty nice. So mb these are family names-ransom was someones last name? If bodhi wants to be badass, he can be ransom fox. Pretty cool
Deleteoops i gave the wrong name: Teresa Palmer also named her new son Bhodi
ReplyDeleteWas brain a Freudian slip, Enty. Do you secretly thing BAG is a genius? Enquiring minds want to know.
ReplyDeleteAlso, it may just be a bad picture but brian looks like shit here. Megan is losing her looks a little but like I said could be a bad pic or all the unnecessary plastic surgery she has been rumored to have gotten.
I know an attorney named Ransom. Always thought that was a cool Southern manly name.
ReplyDeleteI'm not the best spelller myself but "...so I guess we were do for something strange." is just very odd coming from a big-time blogger.
ReplyDeleteAw cmon Harry. Enty is hip like the kids. You know hes all: 'what it do' nowadays. Lol
Delete*totally kidding btw lol

That kid will probably want to get away so fast from those two, they should've named it Moses Milk Carton.
ReplyDeleteDo they never think of the children who have to live with these ludicrous names? Who can never escape the stupidity of their parents. My 3 will thank me one day for the frankly rather dull and boring names they have been saddled with.
ReplyDeleteIts so weird that both my children like their names, because I always disliked mine. Thought it was boring. My first, middle and last name 4 letters. Borrr-ing. I thought my life wld be an exictic adventure if only i was named katherine or theresa! Then in girl scouts, i met a girl named Giselle. Oh how i coveted that name!!!!! Later i met a knockout named laurel and i wanted her name! She looked like a young lauren bacall, with hair waved over one eye. She was nice too. Ok, enough of my rambling !
DeleteI'm not sure how it works in the US but here names remain very obviously indicative of the kvass system (rightly or wrongly). My kids' names would put them straight into the middle class bracket. A name like Bodhi would almost inevitably be identified as chavvy (sadly and wrongly) - and there would be no lovely Buddhist association.
DeleteKatie Hopkins is that you?
DeleteHa! No. I was just making the point that you could make a good guess at the perceived class of a person by the names of their children. Mr Violets background is as WC as they come so it actually doesn't work well in his case.
DeleteAnd KH is the worlds greatest troll. She plays her part to perfection and is probs making a damn good living out of other peoples outrage.
do you want some ridiculous names?
ReplyDeletei know the twins girls Fleur and Rose Pommier (Flower and Rose Apple Tree)
I adore Fleur!
DeleteBodhi is a very common name in Asia. Not really weird.
ReplyDeleteMaybe not really weird in Asia. But for two white people in Beverly Hills it's weird.
DeleteYeah ransom is definitely a southern name. I really don't think his name is bad at all, but i prefer a more unusual name to a traditional one. I like being the only person in the entire world with my name and my kids will be the same way, nothing crazy but definitely one of a kind.
ReplyDelete+1 jsierra.
DeleteI thought I had a unique name and spelling. Lo and behold with 3+ billion people in the world, Google showed me there is no such thing as one of a kind. I'm sure you have a nice name, though.
DeleteAll I think of are Bodhi purses and bags.
ReplyDeletei used to babysit a brat named Ransom....horribly spoiled child
ReplyDeleteI thought they named him after Jenna Elfman's hubby. And how much it would cost a tabloid to buy his first picture.
ReplyDeleteI bet he loves Point Break
ReplyDeleteIJU
DeleteLOL...+1
When trying to find our baby names we pulled out the old family tree & Ransom was one of the names we were surprised to see several times. I don't mind this name at all...
ReplyDeleteI just can't with "Ransom." I grew up in the South and I very much appreciate (non-bigoted) Southern culture, and I swear I've never heard of it as a name. All I could ever think of if I heard it as someone's actual name would be a kidnapping ransom. Eww.
ReplyDeleteNow "Bodhi" isn't horrible. First thing I thought of was the Bodhi tree of enlightenment. I like that.
Finally, I still don't hear "Hazel" as a "completely normal" name. If the famous Hazels are named after a family member, whatever, but I think it's a stodgy and old-fashioned-in-a-bad-way name.
Back in my footloose says I stayed at a magical place called The Bodhi Tree in Phnom Penh so I love the first name. Ransom sounds nice, but I feel like it's welcoming bad luck (I can be a wee bit superstitious)
ReplyDeleteGood luck I the new parents! I hope Brian isn't as bad as Enty alludes
On an exercise bike so pardon the typos. Thankfully I just caught myself before bike was turned to bile
DeleteI like bodhi ransom sounds Texas ranger-y. I could totally see the dude from burn notice as the lead in that show :)
ReplyDelete@discobitch
DeleteMy husband shot down my first choice for my son's name because it "sounded too Walker Texas Ranger" with our last Name. Your comment made me laugh
Bodhi has actually translate to brain in a couple of Indian languages. Ismaili I think
ReplyDeleteyeah for stupid celebrity kid names......
ReplyDelete10 years from now their kids will hate them for that
They're growing up rich in Los Angeles! Bodhi fit right in with his peers. I know several men here named Bodhi. In fact, the first guy I dated when I moved to Los Angeles was a surfer named Bodhi, lol!
DeleteI've loved the name "Bodhi" ever since Patrick Swayze played Bodhi in Point Break.
ReplyDelete@WritergirlinLa - a Lawyer called Ransom? Isn't that what they call Nominative Determinism?
ReplyDeleteHis oldest son is Kassius so he obviously doesn't shy away from names that aren't mainstream.
ReplyDeleteI went to a Ransom jr. high school so depends on where you're from in the south AKM.
ReplyDeleteYes, but in that case, "Ransom" is a last name, is it not? I'm not questioning it as a LAST name, but rathet as a first or middle name. (And yes, I know that in the South, family last/maiden names are often used as first/middle names. Given its definition as money given in a kidnapping, I still think it's very weird.)
DeleteKassius & Bohdi...
ReplyDeleteTwo awesome male names.
I just keep thinking of Bode Miller.
ReplyDeleteI know Canadians who have named their children: Dallas, Dakota, etc. after American cities...
ReplyDelete@Leekalicious: What a coincidence. I have a child named Moose Jaw, and another named Fort McMurray.
ReplyDeleteAeol- watch the NFL and NBA and you will see plenty of one of a kind names. Complete with punctuation- sometimes more than once. Lots of Q and Z usage too.
ReplyDeleteexample:
Le'Queyshe
The reason you don't understand the name is because it's impossibly stupid. Like naming someone Lionel Butterdish, it's just dumb and senseless, but for BAG attention getting. Megan is even more pitiful than I ever thought for going along with that name. Doubtful she understands it makes no sense.
ReplyDeleteOh I truly hope the Ransom name was to get attention. Ransom is a family name of mine and the thought of being related gives me the crawlies.
DeleteI think it's her way of telling the world is she is being held against her will
ReplyDeleteLOL!
DeleteSounds like *someone* listens to the Old 97's. ;-)
ReplyDelete/my name's Stewart Ransom Miller - I'm a serial lady-killer...
I love the name Bodhi and now it's going to get really popular! I'm bummed. Ransom is bizarre and having it next to the spiritual Bodhi is really off putting. I also think Bodhi Green sounds like a paint color.
