There is nothing new about a celebrity throwing out the ‘baby name book’ and opting for something a bit more…eccentric.
Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris “You Know How I Know You’re Gay? You Like Coldplay” Martin famously created an Apple, while Sylvester Stallone went for the left-field Sage Manblood when it came time to think of baby names.
Bono has a kid named Memphis Eve. Enough said.
So it’s not exactly surprising that Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo opted to go the celeb road with the newest member of their brood — Dusty Rose.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Naturally, the Twitter echo chamber is firing at full force:

Adam Levine named his daughter Dusty Rose. That’s the color of the sweater I just ordered from Forever 21.

That last Tweet does make a compelling argument:

Leave it to ten-year old Twitter fools to not recognize a musician naming his kid for another musician.

Please don’t be judgmental…
I’m sure she will have a long and distinguished stripper career. 🙂

Dusty rose is the color scheme in tacky Chinese banquet restaurants everywhere. It’s also the color of old ladies. Worse, Dusty Rose sounds like a honkytonk hooker. Dusty sounds like a lesbian friend of Kristy McNichol on “Family.” Good god, what a horrible name.

@s: LOL keep them coming S. At least it’s better than Sunday Rose (roast).

I went to school with 2 girls named “Dusty”. They were spelled “Dusti” and “Dustee”. So to me this isn’t an uncommon name. Get over it.

I just don’t get the appeal…

This is a story because you believe the father is hot?
The more I learn about gay life, the less inclined I am to embrace it.
But I’ll keep trying.

With those childbearing hips of his he would’ve had an easier time birthing that sprog than she did.

I never understood all the fuss about Levine. He has a skinny scrawny body and a mediocre face. What’s all the fuss about?

Penn Gillette daughters name is moxycrimefighter. Frank Zappa kids Moon unit and Dweezil and Ahmed..Adam levine with the rest of Hollyweird can name their kids whatever they like. I’m a fan of Adams only in his personality on the voice .his band sucks to me and his voice is whiny .those tats and skinny body is a personal choice for me ..no ..most rock stars and Hollywood types are “out there” anyway

@Mo Bro: This site is not representative of gay life just like what you see in gay clubs isn’t either. You don’t have to embrace those things at all. It’s not a requirement to embrace anything in particular even if some try to force you to by theoretically holding your gayness hostage.

Really? With all the ghetto names Beyonce and the Kardashians have come up with, you people have a problem with this one?
