Mindless Self Indulgence Blog and Journals

I came home from uni when my sister asked me to ensure that she had read correctly that Gerard and Lyn-Z Way's baby girl was indeed named Bandit Lee Way, and I confirmed it, she burst out laughing...I was curious and wondering why on earth did my sister just asked me stuff about Gerard Way 'cause she had never been a fan of MCR. I went upstairs to her room to see what's up and I found that she came across accidentally to a website with this year's most unusual celebrity baby names and Bandit Lee Way came 9th.

-------------------------------------------------------------...

Celebrities have set a high bar when it comes to wince-worthy baby names. Who could forget classics like Moxie Crimefighter (daughter of Penn and Emily Jillette) and Kal-El (son of Nicholas and Alice Kim Cage)? This year is no less memorable than years past, when it comes to our stars and the blazing baby trails they leave in their wake. Some first-timers welcomed in their babies by giving them a name to remember (Echo Hexum). Others added to their already attention-getting clan: Erykah Badu, mother of Puma and Seven has added Mars to the triumvirate, while Chef Jamie Oliver, father of Poppy Honey and Daisy Boo, added to his whimsical genetic treasure chest a daughter named Petal Blossom Rainbow. But there’s more, so much more.

Here’s our list of the most unusual celebrity baby names for 2009.

1. Mars Merkaba Daughter of Erykah Badu and Jay Electronica. After tweeting through her labor (Mars was delivered by a midwife born at home with no drugs) Badu sent out a message on Twitter that she was going to name her new daughter Twitty Milk. That did not happen, but Mars Merkaba did. Though Badu hasn’t discussed the name’s origin, “Mars,” in addition to being a planet, is the Roman god of war, and “Merkaba” is Hebrew for “stone-chariot of god.” Arrange those meanings as you will.
2.Petal Blossom Rainbow Oliver Daughter of Chef Jamie Oliver and his wife, Jools. No explanation of the name was given, but considering her sisters’ names are Poppy Honey and Daisy Boo, we’re guessing he’s just sticking with the whole Naked Chef/natural/garden theme.

3. Sparrow James Midnight Madden Son of Nicole Richie and Joel Madden. There seems to be a code to break when it comes to Nicole and Joel’s kids. Their daughter, Harlow Kate Winter Madden was born in January, the middle of winter, hence, the second to last name. Sparrow was born in the middle of the night, so we’ve got the Midnight part down. The rest of the code -- specifically, “Sparrow” -- we’re still working on breaking.

 4. Ikhyd Edgar Arular Bronfman Son of Rapper M.I.A. (real name Mathangi Maya Arulpragasam) and musician Benjamin Bronfman (aka Benjamin Brewer). Ikhyd was one of the biggest hot-button names of the year, because when first announced by M.I.A., the general public thought she was naming her boy Ickitt. She addressed the media through her blog, “MY BABY IS NOT CALLED ICKITT, PICKIT OR LICKIT THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO ALL THE HOLLYWOOD PRESS. HES A BABY, HE DONT NEED PRESS!” She did not give any hints to the meaning of Ikhyd, but “Arular” is the code name her political activist father adopted for himself while fighting for the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka, as well as the title of her debut album. “Edgar” is his paternal grandfather’s name (Edgar Bronfman Jr., who is CEO of Warner Music Group).

5. Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa Son of Lilakoi Moon (aka Lisa Bonet) and boyfriend Jason Momoa. Momoa explained the Hawaiian origin in a forum on his official fan site, jasonmomoa.com: “He was born on the stormest, rainy night. so Nakoa(warrior)...Mana(strength/spirit) Kaua(rain) po(dark)...”

6. Java Kumala Holloway Daughter of “Lost” star Josh Holloway and his wife, Yessica Kumala. Yessica was born in Jakarta, Indonesia, which is located on the island, Java.

7. Dreavyn Kingslee Son of Billy Martin (Good Charlotte) and Linzi. No word on its origin, and when it comes to the Social Security Administration’s list of most popular baby names (www.ssa.gov) perhaps not surprisingly Dreavyn doesn’t have an entry.

8. Atlas Heche Tupper Son of Anne Heche and James Tupper. In Greek mythology, Atlas was a Titan who bore the weight of the heavens on his shoulders. He joins his older brother, 7-year-old Homer, in a classical-friendly household.

9. Bandit Lee Way Daughter of Gerard Way (of My Chemical Romance) and wife Lin-Z (of Mindless Self Indulgence). No explanation was given and this one’s just a little too out there for us to even speculate.

10. Gunnar Flowers Son of Brandon Flowers (The Killers) and his wife, Tana. Flowers said that he wanted a tough name for his child that “combats against Flowers.”

Worth Mentioning Though not as far out as the above set, these names still made our list for most unusual this year.

1. Stella Luna, daughter of Ellen Pompeo (Grey’s Anatomy) and husband, Chris Ivery.

2. Echo Hexum, daughter of Nick Hexum (311) and his wife, Nikki.

3. Lou Sulola Samuel, daughter of Heidi Klum and Seal.

4. Blaise Ray, son of Amanda Beard (Olympic swimmer) and her husband and fellow swimmer, Sacha Brown.

5. Bardot Vita Boreanaz, daughter of actors David Boreanaz and Jaime Bergman.

6. West Flynn, daughter of Marley Shelton and Beau Flynn.

7. Roman Stylianos Gianopoulos and Adele Georgiana Gianopoulos, twins (boy and girl, respectively) born to Molly Ringwald and her husband, Panio Gianopoulos.

8. Goldie Priya, daughter of Ione Skye and Ben Lee.

9. Jett Hamilton, son of Jill Scott and Lil John Roberts.

10. Seraphina Rose Elizabeth, daughter of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner.

Anyway...they're not the worst people ever. They just say a lot of stupid things. They're talking about their "intense sex" right now.

I really can't stand them. -_- Is this supposed to be enlightening? Because thats how they're trying to sell it. I don't buy bullshit. Sorry. Keep your private life private.

J: "Lets get married!"

-----------------------------------------

UMMM WTF? Those are exact quotes btw. I don't find them funny. >.<

 "The first song we'll try is called 'Bitches'.

  I almost smiled when he announced it.  He was such a strange person, him and the other two in the room.  I wondered if it had been a mistake coming here...they didn't look like the kinda people who took their music seriously.  Although, saying that, I didn't exactly have much ground to stand on either - I'd basically picked up my roommate's bass guitar, less than a month ago.  I hardly knew any note names, I had no idea of which string was supposed to be the E...it was gonna end up just completely embarassing us all.

  I'd first seen them (there were four then, but they'd recently got rid of their original bass player, which was the spot I was now auditioning for) in the college art show, and they'd seemed cool to me then.  However...somehow I had the feeling I would never be able to even dream of being that cocky and everything.

 "Okay, so I should probably take down your details first,"  the lead singer drawled.  He was possibly the weirdest one of them all.  His hair was dyed bright pink, he was tall and skinny, and he wore baggy black shorts, a bright pink vest that matched his hair, elbow length fishnet gloves, a purple tie and knee length football socks in the most revolting colour combination I'd ever seen - lime green with red stripes.  His shoes were brand new - navy blue converses, and he had his long trenchcoat hanging over his shoulder.

 "So, name, age, why you think you'd be good in the band, any experience.  When you're ready."  I nodded and stepped forward, clearing my throat nervously.

 "My name is Lindsey Ballato and I'm 24.  I think I'd be good in the band cause I think you...cause I ca-can...cause I'm a...fuck, this is going sooo bad.  I don't know, okay?  I don't have any experience at all at bass, I was a singer in a Dolly Parton cover band a while back, but we broke up.  I only picked up the bass, well, less than a month ago and I only came to this stupid audition shit cause I wanted to push myself, to actually have to try to get something I really wanted."

 "That's cool,"  the singer grinned.  "I can tell you've got attitude, just from that badly prepared speech.  You're at the art college, aren't you?"  I nodded, confused.

 "So...wait a minute, you're still willing to give me a try...even though it's already completely obvious I'm gonna suck?"

 "Why not?"  the other guy shrugged.  I glanced at him.  Surprisingly enough, he was the most normal looking one.  I remembered he's been playing guitar when I'd seen them.  He was kinda overweight, wearing all black - leather jacket, right down to his jeans and trainers.  His hair was also black, but I didn't know whether it was natural or not.  

  I stole a glance at the final member of the group.  She was the drummer, but you couldn't really tell.  She was around average build, wearing red and black armwarmers, a black vest made out of what looked like some kind of plastic, a necklace consisting of about five layers of pearl chains and a long black skirt.  Her hair was a dirty blondish colour and she had a lot of make up on.  She was also wearing heels.  Catching me looking, she gave me a supportive grin.

  I glanced around at all of them, then smiled slightly.  "Okay, I'll give it a go."

__

  About an hour later, we had just finished setting up for me to play a couple of songs with the band.  I kinda felt a bit stupid, to tell the truth; thinking I was only going for an interview, I'd worn pigtails, and my outfit consisted of high heeled boots with knee length socks, a short black skirt and a black school-girl style black shirt, with a black white tie.  I found myself wishing I'd worn tights, or, even better, jeans.  I was shaking now, really nervous.  I decided to take a quick trip to the bathroom to compose myself a bit.

  Inside the ladies room, I opened my bag and slipped out a bottle of Bacardi, taking a quick drink.  God, I was so fucking terrified.  I glanced at myself in the mirror.  Surprisingly, I actually looked good for once!  It was just after I thought that that another, sneaky plan began forming itself in my head.  This could either go terribly, terribly, dangerously wrong...or it could get me into the band.

__

  Out there, everyone else was already in their positions when I re-entered the room; I quickly put on my roommates stolen bass, then went and took my place.  We'd discussed the songs we were to play earlier on, and I'd had a quick run through...which, of course, didn't go so well.  

 "Okay, Lindsey,"  the singer - I'd learnt his name was actually Jimmy...Jimmy Urine - declared.  "Tornado.  Lets go."

  I took a deep breath - it was now or never - and, as the guitarist - Steve - hit the first chord, I put my hand to my chest and removed the film canister of Bacardi I'd slipped in there while I was in the ladies (don't ask why I had it on me, I was an art student).  I knocked back the shot and held it in my mouth, pulled the pre-placed matches out of my pigtails, struck the sandpaper board glued to the back of my bass...and basically just blew fire all over the room.  

  Instantly I found myself regretting this move; the flames had shot everywhere, and Jimmy was in serious danger of getting burnt to death right there and then.

  The song stopped, Jimmy finished stamping out the small patch of flames next to him, and everyone turned to stare at me.  I closed my eyes and swallowed hard.  However they decided to let me down, I was adamant.  I.  Would.  Not.  Cry.

  The room was silent, then Jimmy opened his mouth, hesitated, then said it.

 "Fuck.  You're hired."

Mindless Self Indulgence bassist Lyn-Z and her husband, My Chemical Romance vocalist and comic book writer Gerard Way, welcomed a baby girl into the world yesterday afternoon.

Their daughter, Bandit Lee Way, was born in Los Angeles at 2:57 P.M. on May 27th and weighs 6 lbs., 5.6 oz. "Everyone is healthy and happy." Says a rep for the couple.

Gerard said he is "very excited" about fatherhood, adding: "I don't know that I ever thought about having a kid, but then I also didn't expect to meet Lyn-Z. When I met her I knew she'd be the one person I could have a kid with."

Lyn-Z and Gerard were married in September 2007 after MCR and MSI toured together on Linkin Park's Projekt Revolution. They announced the pregnancy in November. This is their first child.
