What Would Eminem Say?
Dido's name is an “l” away from being Dildo and her music has always sounded like a white girl Sade to me, so I had not one bad thing to say about her ass until now. The only esteemed news source of truth I trust, the Daily Mail, says that Dido birthed out a baby boy last July and she has named him Stanley. As in Stan, as in that Enimen song about a crazed murderous stalker, which samples her song, Thank You. I see what you did there, Dido! I also see her little son Stanley cooing this out in his crib: “Aaaaand Iiiiiiii want to thank you….for giving me the worst naaaaame of my liiii-iiiii-iiiiife.”
According to the Daily Mail, Baby Stan is Dido’s first baby friend with her husband of 2 years Rohan Gavin. They’ve been living a shush life somewhere in North London together.
Okay, I was joking about the “one bad thing to say” shit. Maybe it’s because I’m running on 2 hours of sleep and prosecco bubbles are powering whatever is left of my brain, but this shit is pulling the laughs out from my ass. Dido named her son Stan knowing that every bitch would think she named him after a song about an Eminem stalker. I’m sure Dido and Baby Stan will laugh about this as soon as he’s old enough to understand fuckery. Let’s just hope they aren’t laughing about it while she’s tied up in his trunk and he’s about to drive the car into the river.
I really like her songs, but it is weird that she named her son Stanley considering the circumstances.
Oh, y'all I heart Tears for Fears so much. My beloved boyfriend and I used to date when we were teenagers and our soundtrack at that time was The Hurting and Songs from the Big Chair. When I listen to them, especially "Head Over Heels," I still feel the same way about him that I did all those years ago. The songs are still so good. My six year old nephew loves "Shout."
I always thought she was overrated. Winterowl is right, she has the same problem Sarah McLachlan has, which is the same problem that Coldplay has. If she wants to name her kid after Mr. Roper, so be it.
I have one bad thing to say: she's a pretty bad singer. She has the same problem that Sarah Mchlachlan has. And Sarah is now butchering Silent Night for those animal rescue ads.

Huh? I don't think it's so bad to be called "Stan", even if it's slang term. And, I associate the word "stan" with Beyonce, not Eminem (that probably says something bad about me!).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The term "Stan" is based on Eminem's song, which is probably one of the best songs he's ever done because he's able to tell a story from 2 perspectives.

I really like that name. It's a nice normal name that's also isn't an overly common one.
I didn't know there was DNA in my ass!
Poor Dido. First Elton John sang her song with Eminem at the Grammy Awards and then he had a baby, so she is having a baby now and naming it Stan to reclaim her song. Maybe her baby will stalk Elton's baby.

Oh, IF, I know, but I used to think they were both cute. CS was cute cute, RO was sort of homely cute, like a Shar Pei. RO was definitely the talented one songwriting-wise, though CS still has a beautiful voice.
I didn't want to say his name because I don't really want to stir shit up for him, I just think his kids' names are ill advised.
I can just see it now: "Girls Gone Wilder". Barf.

I used to have the hots for CS (I still love Tears for Fears) and I was disappointed to find that Roland Orzibal (sp?) was the brains and talent behind TFF because he wasn't cute. Ah, the shallowness of a teen!
Zappa called his kid Diva too, as well as the stupid Moon Unit and one or two others.
I still think Jermajesty is the hands down Most Magnificent Celeb Kid Name!

IF, no, it's not Zappa. It's Curt Smith from Tears for Fears.
His other daughter is named Wilder.
At first I thought, well, maybe his wife was just a big fan of Laura Ingalls Wilder or something, but naming both your kids like that? "Diva" and "Wilder"?
Unfortunate.
His dogs have more normal names than his kids do.
Makes me sad because I always loved TFF and other than this name fuckery Smith seems like an okay person.

It's Zappa, right? The celeb? Why are you not saying his name, like it's a secret?! All his kids names are odd, with the exception of Ahmed or something like that.
I hate that Diva is written all over little girl clothes, backpacks etc. In the context (rather than the real meaning), it's not cute or a COMPLIMENT!

I like Dido because she's always developed her music and career as she saw fit. I guess it helped that her family had money. Her "White Flag" is an anthem for love-scarred, disaffected women everywhere.

Please: It's "rahnday."
That's true - you're probably young if you don't know who invented Stan and stanning for someone. The only thing Beyonce invented was the word BOOTYLICIOUS.

Hekki, weren't you the one who was sick of the concept of "diva"?
Other celeb dude I was talking about named one of his kids that. Yep, her name is Diva.

Oh, mule muffins.
You know as well as I do the difference between a name that won't get a kid ostracized or teased and one that will. Call it whatever the fuck you want.
Edited after reading Hekki's post:
Yes, any name can be twisted around, but with some names, the taunts just write themselves.

What Chris Knight said. At least it's a normal fucking name. We need to encourage famous people to name their kids normal names.

"Normal" is a loaded word. Fuck normal.
Stanley.... is he flat?

If a kid isn't liked, the other kids can make fun of ANY name you give them. My friend and her husband went through all these names and her husband would make up a mean nickname for anything she came up with. Until they got to Alexander. So they named the kid Alex. Secretly, I call him "Alex the Phallex". AH HA HA HAHAHAHA! (hey, mean nicknames don't have to make SENSE!)
I still listen to the Marshall Mathers CD. It is fucking brilliant. There are a few songs I cannot stomach, but most of them I just love love love.

Never cared for Eminem's music but always really liked Dido's unique sounding voice and songs ...congrats to Dido n hubby and congrats for that shush life..
I like Eminem. Loved Dido ever since "Here with me" was the Roswell theme.
That is kind of an odd choice for a name, but maybe she's paying homage in a weird sort of way. That song did introduce her to a whole new audience.
Or maybe it's a family name. Or maybe they just liked it.
Maybe she's a hockey fan and named the boy Stanley, as in Stanley Cup.
OK, I did not need to see Dido singing while sitting on the toilet. Though she manages to look graceful whilst doing so.

There's a musician I was fond of in the 80s who now has two girls, and he gave them total stripper/pornstar names, and it makes me want to punch him so hard because he always seemed to be the kind of dude who would be above that. (His music was intelligent and not typical rock and roll woman-hating shit).

I like Eminem's music but I don't let my kids listen to it. Go figure that one out.

Never got the appeal of this wanker. And narcissitic closet case is an apt description.
Dido was the Adele of not so long ago. Someone not so long from now will be the new Adele.
ba-buttons THANKG GOD YOU JUST SAID THAT! Ever sinbce RECOVERY I was under the impression that all of a sudden America loves Eminem. I'm glad they don't.
Sincerly, an Eminem fan since 1999.
As to Dido naming that child STANley....lmfao!
LOLOLOLOLOOLOLOLOLOOL!!!
That video is SOOOOO BAD. What a narcissistic closet case. Eminem, just fuck off and go work out your little mommy issues elsewhere you brainless, chinless twinkie.

Name Deleted: Me, too. I really liked that movie. It's funny. Where is that idiot? I just went to the Tattoo Boy thread (where ba-buttns got all hoity toity) and didn't see.
I cant say I like the name but anyway its a normal one compared to Bronx Mowgli, Pilot Inspektor, Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha, Zuma Nestor or hell knows what else.
