Ashlee Simpson, Pete Wentz name new son Bronx Mowgli?

Ashlee Simpson and her “Fall Out Boy” husband Pete Wentz have finally welcomed their son.

So let’s have a Bronx cheer!

No, really.

The new baby's name is Bronx Mowgli Wentz and he weighed 7 lbs., 11 oz., and was 20 1/2 inches long.

No clue yet on the basis of the Bronx moniker.

But Mowgli is the name of the character in Rudyard Kipling’s short story “In the Rukh,” and is best known for being the lead in the popular animated film, “The Jungle Book,” inspired by Kipling’s work.

"Ashlee, Pete and baby Bronx are all healthy and happy, and thank everyone for their well wishes!" a spokesperson told People.

Guess the animated character middle name makes sense given the fact that Ashlee and Pete had an Alice In Wonderland-themed wedding and a Winnie the Pooh-themed baby shower

Could have been worse. Could have been Pooh, Piglet, Eyore or Mad Hatter.

What do you think of the name Bronx Mowgli?

Is this gonna be future playground taunting material?

Sad part is these frigtards will have more kids.

[Mistah K]

Well...Bronx MIGHT have come from another Disney character...Bronx the Dogoyle from the "Disney Afternoon" series "Gargoyles"?

But...yeah. Stupid name.

[Jennifer M]

I bet the name is really Peter Lewis Kingston Wentz IV - they are pulling a prank on the press.

[What?!]

OK, so the, "What's the weirdest name we can think of for our baby in Hollywood" game is still going on. Other than that, is that a really bad cut and paste job on Pete's head in the picture or is his head really that freakishly big?

[RoboChop]

What is wrong with celebrities these days? Yet another poor child doomed with a terrible name. Why don't these people think? Bronx just isn't a good name. Its a wonderful borough but not a good name for a person. It doesn't ever sound right without the definitive article. I can't stand when celebrities do this. Neither Ashlee nor Pete have any connection to New York. Hes from Illinois shes from Texas. Then its not even that original when you consider Brooklyn Beckham, which at least flows of the tongue even though at best Brooklyn is a girls name. Bronx Wentz is a nightmare to say. I hope this kid goes by Mowgli, I'm sure Ashlee has no idea who Rudyard Kipling is but at least its a name and not a county.

[Dayna]

Is this picture doctored or does Pete Wentz really have such a HUGE head?!

[StupidNamesRUs]

Just an observation...

BMW = Bronx Mowgli Wentz

This kid's gonna be screwed up, even without a stupid name.

[Adam]

If they had brains, they wouldn't be celebrity.

Congratulations to Ashlee and Pete. Such a cute and nice couple! I think they will be wonderful parents! The name is cute! Bronx is a really cute simple name that their son will enjoy. It sounds manly, artistic, creative, and solid. Great going you two -- you THREE, now! Love to all.

[JRay]

They probably call him Beamer...as in BMW!

[Richard]

My dad used to call me Mowgli

never heard anyone else use it

[JK]

it better be the real name ... or else !

[kac]

Gee, maybe this kid can play with David Beckham's son Brooklyn. Then they'll just have to find some more kids - Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island - and they'll have all 5 NYC boroughs. Seriously, this couple is deranged. I wonder if they've ever set foot in the Bronx. One day, kids named Barbara, Tom and Lois will be the wierdos and those poor shlubs named Bronx and "Moxie Crimefighter" (thank you Penn Jillette) will prevail. No more off-the-rack "name" mugs or key rings; it will all be special order. Oy.

[Amac54]

I cannot believe how selfish these kids are---first, to breed without a license then to saddle a baby with a name guaranteed to make him a weird standout forever. Let's hope he can change it later.

[Liz]

Was she drugged up when she named him? Seriously, BRONX? Poor kid.

[Richard]

LOL
initials BMW gonna be called little beamer. or beamer...

celebrities are such idiots

[Killjoy]

haha his initials will be "BM Wentz"

that kid will be teased to no end

[Mariah]

I think that Bronx is okay....but mowgli makes me think of a half naked child raised by wolves. I don't know though, I'd make fun of a kid named Bronx Mowgli.

[Jeni V]

lmfao that's so cool! XD

i love the name. :D but it's probably cuz I totally love how it relates to me...I was born in the Bronx and grew up with the nickname Mowgli.

And sure, he'll be teased, but effin' A, I'd be friends with a kid named Bronx. :P

Not to mention, he's a FOB kid...and that rocks.

[Lella]

he'll get teased? I doubt it. just remember: his father is pete wentz and his mother is ashlee simpson. he may have the most absurd name ever, but I think that his parents' fame will overrule that fact!!

[Will]

No, the kid won't be criticized for his name.

He'll be criticized because his parents are Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson.

[amy]

lol better then apple or orange.

[Jack]

Lol. If you ask me Bronx is a pretty awesome name! Malagwy is pretty weird middle name though.

[jusmessinwitcha]

I think Ash & Pete shared a good laugh about depleting the stock of boy's names that end in 'X', so that Angie & Brad will have to be more creative in naming their next son.

[sandra]

u no what the kid is instantly in the fame game so who cares if he gets teased put it this way he has the best combak ever he can just say haha im famouse your not . lol never know it could work :P (im just boredd)
