Ashlee Simpson, Pete Wentz: Geography Lovers

We're not gonna say what we think of the baby name Bronx Mowgli Wentz, the first son of Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz and, uh, "singer" Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, but you have to admit it's a bit more geographically minded than, say, Apple Blythe or Suri.

The Bronx, of course, comes from New York's northernmost borough, which is trying--though not that hard--to lure some of the city's more than 40 million annual tourists. We're surprised Pete didn't go for Manhattan, though, given that his bar-slash-club Angels & Kings is in the East Village.

As for that middle name, it's Mowgli--not mogwai. It comes from Rudyard Kipling's story "In the Rukh," and the same character later starred in The Jungle Book. A boy raised by wolves in the jungle, Mowgli is later befriended by a forest ranger during the British rule of India, a period Kipling knew intimately: He was born in Bombay when it was still called that. The city, now Mumbai, is home to a museum about his life and works.
