Eh. The kid was already screwed with that last name anyway. Although I think they should have named the kid Coney. How about Gowanus? Bayside? Gravesend. Upper West Side. I got it: DUMBO! Wait, that's the parents.

Yup it is from the Jungle book.... tisk tisk. And technically shouldn't he be called "The Bronx"??

They could have at least given him a normal middle name, but nooooo. Mowgli! Really? Isn't that a Jungle Book character?

In a few years Ashlee will be a single mother. What kind of name is Bronx anyway?

Actually, there's no "the." It's just "Bronx." These people simple shouldn't be allowed to breed. Fast forward 15 years: "Mom, dad, I f**king hate you."

Flushing Meadows Wentz has a much better ring to it. Or Canarsie. These kids fail at reproduction.

It sounds like something that someone would mumble while drunk. But with these two. . .

Are we surprised? These 2 are not the brightest bulbs in the tanning bed.

Maybe they think this ridiculous name will toughen up the kid, as in "A Boy Named Sue."

now they have to live in the bronx right? or do rich white people only get to act tough by proxy and press release?

It's THE BRONX, not Bronx. That's why it's THE worst name.
