Although every body has liberty to name their child according to his/her wish yet it should not offend others. Jermaine Jackson who is the elder brother of Michael Jackson has named his fourth son as “Jermajesty” which has the impression of king or some one above all others. This name has created a lot of hue and cry among the people who deem it quite inappropriate. The YeahBaby.com has given a lot of publicity to Jermaine by regarding his son’s name as “the worst celebrity baby name of all times”.

The website has many reasons for such a harsh comment. The website which helps parents to name their newly born children is of the view that the name Jermajesty contains “offensive pride” due to its reference to a king or kingdom. They say that they don’t know of which country the child is the emperor. Some critics are of the view that the act of Jermaine is actually an attempt to be in the headlines to grab the attention of the people. They say that his music career has not been very impressive as compared to his siblings Michael and Janet Jackson and he enjoyed the privilege of being their brother in his music career.

The “Jermajesty” also means a person who is superior to others and such name is always abhorred by others. There are some other examples of bad celebrity names. Frank Zappa named his son as “Moon Unit”. “Tu Morrow” was the name given by his father Rob Morrow. Another lengthy and ridiculous name was of the daughter of Paula Yates who named her “Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily”.

It seems the deliberate attempt of highlighting bad name by the website is a strategy to grab more and more attention of the web-users towards their website. We don’t know who has not come with clean hands, Jermaine or YeahBaby.com.
