Gerard Way's decision to call his daughter Bandit has backfired - it has been voted the worst celebrity baby name of the year.

The My Chemical Romance rocker and his musician wife, Lindsey Ballato, welcomed little Bandit Lee in May, but the bizarre name has landed them top of an unflattering new poll.

Nicole Richie and her boyfriend Joel Madden, who called their new son Sparrow, were placed second on the list, while British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver and his daughter Petal Blossom Rainbow came third.

Charlie Sheen was also lambasted for calling one of his baby twins Bob, and Charlotte Church's son Dexter rounded out the top five in the survey, conducted by website Babynames.co.uk.
