I would like to point out that this trend of goofy names for kids isn't new. Frank Zappa named his son Dweezil and her daughter Moon Unit, and they're both adults now. Dweezil, as a musician and an actor, is still using his original name; I don't know about his sister.

In any case, they can't sue Dad for naming them after something dreamed up in a weed haze because Frank is no longer with us.

I always wondered how Mommy felt about those names, like how much input she might have had.
