The Jungle VIP
So Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz have called their baby Bronx Mowgli. Hmm.
Pete tried to explain where he and wife Ashlee Simpson got their inspiration for their baby son’s unusual name Bronx Mowgli.
“The Jungle Book was something that me and Ashlee bonded over. It’s a cool name,” the Fall Out Boy rocker told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show, while discussing his son’s middle name Mowgli, the lead character from Rudyard Kipling’s book.
However, Pete, 29, didn’t shed much light on why he and Ashlee picked out Bronx for their baby’s first name.
“We came up with the idea Bronx. We’ve been throwing ideas back and forth a while,” he said.
“It’s kind of cool to just leave the narrative what it is. I don’t think anyone really has the real story.”
American Idol host Ryan then asked Pete whether the child’s name, whose initials read BMW, was actually a joke.
“No, no, no, it definitely is his name,” insisted Pete.
“But I don’t think anybody knows what the real story is of why or how.”
Ahh well, at least they didn’t name him after a fruit?
