Who are they kidding!

HOLLYWOOD -- Uh oh, here we go again.
Just when it looked like it was safe to go back into the celebrity maternity ward and not hear names such as Apple (Gwyneth Paltrow's daughter) and Jermajesty (Jermaine Jackson's son), a whole rash of fresh monikers is bringing back the wackiness.
We are, of course, referring to the new Brangelina twins, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt, and Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman's kid, Sunday Rose (as opposed to Sunday Roast), but they're certainly not alone in Crazy Baby Name Derby: Hollywood Edition.
In the Jolie-Pitt brood, at least some of it is understandable -- Knox is apparently Brad's granddad's middle name and Marcheline was the name of Angelina's late mother.
Still, with Knox joining brothers Maddox and Pax, there are now the same number of x's involved as Brad and Angie's exes.
As for little Sunday Urban, who sounds kinda like what you'd find situated between the Sports and Classified sections of your big city weekend paper, you can apparently blame Nic's grandfather, who had been taken with an Aussie art buff named Sunday Reed.
Sunday, who was actually born on a Monday, can now proudly take her spot in the work week alongside Tuesday Weld and Wednesday Friday, that creepy Addams Family kid.
Let's not leave Jessica Alba and husband Cash Warren off the hook. They dubbed their daughter Honor Marie, perhaps because Faith, Hope and Charity were already taken.
Seems like it would have been a better name for one of Bruce and Demi's grandchildren--the one you could refer to as Scout's Honor.
J. Lo and Marc Anthony's twins, Max and Emme, seemed reasonably innocuous by comparison, until you realize that they share their names with two characters from the animated PBS kids series, Dragon Tales.
And while Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves turned to the bible for Levi (which happens to be another name for the apostle Matthew), you can't help wondering if one day he'll grow up and open a clothing store with Toni Braxton's kids, Denim and Diezel.
At least none of the above has succumbed to this crazy new trend of giving not one, not two, but three boy's names to your newborn daughters, as in Jagger Joseph Blue (a sister for Soleil Moon Frye's Poet Sienna Rose) or Easton August Anthony (courtesy of former Law & Order regular Elisabeth Rohm).
We haven't forgotten about Nicole Richie's Harlow Winter or Eddie Murphy's Zola Ivy (sounds itchy), but Duran Duran frontman Simon Le Bon still takes the (birthday) cake with his three girls -- and future Glade scents -- Saffron Sahara, Tallulah Pine and Amber Rose.
On the brighter side, despite their best efforts, these soon-to-be parents of highly resentful teenagers still haven't quite reached those heady "what were they smoking?" heights of a Moxie CrimeFighter (Penn Jillette's kid), Pilot Inspektor, son of Jason (My Name Is Earl) Lee, or poor little Audio Science (the boy born to Moonlight star Shannyn Sossamon back in 2003).
Mind you, at the rate things seem to be going, it's probably only a matter of time.
Right, tough guy Ving Rhames' son, Freedom, and daughter, Reignbeau?
