Honestly, I don't think Bronx Mowgli is that bad, but Jagger is horrendous. I'd rather be called Snow.

This is why I'm glad she didn't just go with Snow...

Younger people might not make the connection, but yeah.

Oh, my god, I had completely forgotten about that song! I used to have it on an old Now compilation. And it'll be stuck in my head for the rest of the day now! :-)
Yeah, "a licky boom boom down" awoke from dormancy in my mind when I read the name. And Jagger? It's just embarrassing. I'll give her credit for consistency though, bc Bronx Mowgli is so ridiculous that I wasn't sure she'd be able to come up with a moniker for this child that encapsulated the same scope of absurdity and cringeworthy-ness. She's outdone herself! The whole wannabe rocker vibe with Rolling Stones reference (Mick's the *only* Jagger, let's be real). Plus, as mentioned, the whole "informer" thing, and let's not forget the veiled cocaine reference, as well as a faint Disney princess flavour, what with Snow White and all. Bonus points for also bringing to mind rural folk in a snowstorm "Big jagg 'er snow we got there now eh, Larry?". A delicate balance indeed.
Haha, yeah, I honestly have never heard that before :P
