[Opinions] Celebrity BA
Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale had their third son and his name is Apollo Bowie Flynn Rossdale... Thoughts?
I myself am partial to Apollo and Flynn, Apollo is a guilty pleasure name of mine and I just love Flynn. Have a look at my name list and leave your ratings!

Well, it’s an actual name, properly spelled and everything, so definitely an improvement over Zuma and not as bad as some other celebrity names. Apollo isn’t my top Greek god name (that would be Athena and Ares), but not too bad and they get a plus for honoring middle names.

I like Apollo. Not crazy about Bowie or Flynn, honoring or not. And I think Apollo Flynn Bowie sounds better

I said it before and I'll say it again, Kingston drew the long straw in this family. I think it sucks, honoring names or not. It sounds totally stupid, like they drew random names out of a hat.

Apollo is definitely better than Kingston and Zuma. I like it.

Love.I love Apollo, such a guilty pleasure of mine. Flynn is sweet but so over used here. Bowie is nms.

I sort of dig it. I like Apollo, and their kid can pull it off, offsrping of rockstars and whatnot. It fits with the sibset, though I've never been able to get on board with Zuma... my mind just hears Zumba ;) But I do like Kingston and the honouring is sweetly sentimental enough to balance the out-there first name. All in all, definitely not their worst choice, and for sure not a worst I've heard as far as celeb baby names go.

I like the sound of Bowie Flynn and the fact that both names are their mother's maiden names. Apollo is not my thing, but I expected something unusual from them! Hope we get to see a photo little Apollo before too long!

The names of their children seem so shallow to me, like they just strung a bunch of "cool" stuff together. Kind of juvenile, I would say. I suppose this one fits in with the others. ETA: I just read your comment about Bowie and Flynn being their mothers' maiden names. That is a lot more palatable to me rather than a David Bowie reference and a trendy name. o_O

They honored Bob Marley with their last son, right? Nesta. So Bowie doesn't surprise me for them. I like Apollo and am neutral on Flynn. It suits them though and I like the set-- Kingston James McGregor, Zuma Nesta Rock, & Apollo Bowie Flynn.

I was actually just reading and Bowie and Flynn are their mothers' maiden names. So Bowie in this case isn't in reference to David Bowie, which is what I thought as well!

Flynn is OK, but nms. Apollo Bowie is...too much.
