It's terrible.
I'm tired of this trend of celebrities choosing random words as names, trying to be different.
This poor kid is probably going to spend her life performing tricks for attention.
Kind of like a one-trick Pony.

I'm realizing the trend is to give your kid an outright stage name. It's not intended to be a real name. It's a stage name, it's not for normals. Parents in the entertainment industry are skipping the step where the kid chooses to be in the entertainment industry and gets to pick their own stage name: "My kid is an entertainer right out of the gate, bring on the endorsements." Also, they are probably choosing names that are not already taken in the Stage Actors Guild and other entertainment unions / groups.

That's a very good point. Choosing a not-already-taken name with the unions is a real pain! My name was taken and I had to make a stage name :(
But I still don't really like Somersault LOL.

That's a really good insight, I never thought about it that way before.
