Beep Responds to Bronx Wentz's Name

Adolfo Carrion, Jr., the Bronx Borough President is quoted by Gothamist as stating,

“It’s great to hear that Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson named their son after such great place. I hope baby Bronx gets the opportunity to see what a beautiful and eclectic borough he was named after.”

The BoogieDowner, along with the Bronx Borough President's Office (for the sake of transparency, let it be known Carrion's office has not deputized us for this task, nor do we have any official relationship with Mr. Carrion's office) officially extends an invite to Bronx Wentz and his parents to come to the Bronx and take a tour with us. Or at the very least have a play date with baby Pearl at the Botanical Garden or the Zoo.

BoogieDowner is eagerly awaiting pics!

Bronx Wentz Update

Here is Poppa Pete's reasoning behind lil' Bronx's unusual moniker:

"As for the baby's name, Bronx, Wentz said his goal was to make sure his kid would have a moniker that would work as either 'a rock star or a senator.'" [OMG-Yahoo]

Good thinking, Pete...

Ashlee Simspon Names New Son "Bronx"

Simpson and her emo-rocker hubby Pete Wentz (are they married?) have actually named their new child Bronx Mowgli Wentz. The BoogieDowner is not bullshitting you. This is the truth.

This tops even some of the more non-traditional names that Bronxites have been known to give their kids.

In any case, I am glad that Ashlee, Pete, and Bronx are doing well. I am also glad that celebrities do enough drugs, and are crazy enough, and are "outside of the box" creative enough to name their kids crazy things. Big up Bronx Wentz - you have big shoes to fill and a bold future to claim.

Was this kid conceived in the BoogieDown somehow? Hmmm.....
