Lisa Bonet and Jason Momoa tell new baby's name: Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa

Tbdlisabonet010908 Unless you watch Life on Mars or obsessively geek out over Stargate: Atlantis on Sci Fi, chances are you don't know what happened to Lisa Bonet or her boyfriend, Jason Momoa. Well, first of all, Bonet changed her name to Lilakoi Moon in 1995, and secondly, she just had her third child (and second with Momoa) sometime in the first half of December. But the news is the name: Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa.

The boy's name, which is Hawaiian like his daddy, was revealed on a forum post at JasonMomoa.com, sending shockwaves through the couple's community of literally dozens of fans. The explanation goes that "He was born on the stormest, rainy night. so Nakoa(warrior)...Mana(strength/spirit) Kaua(rain) po(dark)..." the post read.

Nakoa-Wolf joins Lilakoi's first child (with Lenny Kravitz), 20-year-old Zoe, and 20-month-old sister Lola. But more importantly, we're not even two weeks into the new year and we've got our 2009 Juice*y Award winner for most unorthodox baby name!

How very narcissistic of them not to care that the baby's first energy from the world would be concerning this overly long, pretentious name...

I'm in favor of being original, personal and to honor ones origin. Just get a feeling that the reason so many stars name their children strangely is becuase of their over-blown egos (so consequently their children must be SUPERSPECIAL too, being an extension/object of themselves)...

So typical of self-absorbed people.
I also feel suspicious when a grown up has changed their name to something that resembles a sect name. Always get the vibe they have problems with a stable sense of identity...

You must be thinking that they chose this name just to attract attention but this is how children are named in Hawaii...don't hate.

Denise Huxtable looks haggard and beat up.

Stephanie

What an idiot!

Oh god. Yet another celebrity(in this case a D list celebrity) with another protentious, off-the-wall name for their kid.

Mary

Lisa Bonet, PLEASE stop smoking the ganja already. (She looks pretty stoned to me in this pic...) Unless they plan on living in Hawaii during this kid's entire childhood, he's going to be a walking punching bag.

What a beautiful, beautiful name. My choice was Pugsley.

Here's an even simplier name: Ricky-Dicky-Ding-A-Dong

I am an avid fan of the old Cosby Show and can't believe how OLD she looks in that picture!
