This is one of the lamest excuses for child cruelty I've ever read or heard of!

I don't think that is nearly as cruel as Sue. There are a lot more cruel and strange names than this child's.

I think they are stupid parents. I really feel sorry for the kids.

ACTUALLY, they are very smart and VERY musical and both KNOW what it takes to grow up in Hollywood. I respect them and Sparrows are very loving and kind like their parents. "THE BIRD is THE WORD."

I am so tired of hearing about these celebs and their odd baby names. Whatever happened to names such as, John, Jimmy, or Luke?

Why would they think they need to "toughen" him up in school by giving him a stupid name? Loving parents don't use this kind of tactic with their children, especially since they have no idea what kind of personality their child may have. Sorry, but this is a cop-out for giving the kid a stupid name.

Why do you people even care what they named their child? Its their child not yours! What ever happened to "to each their own"?
