Like every emo kid that came before him, Pete Wentz thinks his son's name, Bronx Mowgli, is above everyone else's comprehension.:
'I feel weird — people have all these ideas of what it means now,' Wentz says of his offspring's name during a phone call today to E! News' Ryan Seacrest. 'I think it's kind of cool to leave the narrative the way it is. People are stoked or pissed or whatever … I don't think anybody knows the real story of why or how.'
After the jump, the origins of the ROFL name that is somehow not based on the movie Gremlins:
Everyone on earth: If you are over the age of 12, please stop using the word "stoked." It became a dumb cliche about 15 years ago.
Also, everyone on earth: If you don't want your kid picked on, bullied, teased and traumatized for the rest of their lives, DO NOT GIVE THEM STUPID, ASININE NAMES LIKE BRONX MOWGLI.
Everyone: Grow up. Now.
Sometimes it makes me wonder do these celebs even think? Well, poor Bronx is going to endure years of other kids laughing at him.
He feels weird? How you do think his poor son will feel in a couple of years, when he realizes he's been named after a naked kid who used to catch fleas on a lazy bear's fur? Oh, that and the absolutely oxymoronic association of names…
