Joel Madden Named Son Sparrow to Make His Life Difficult

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden could have named their son something simple like John, Tom or Chris, but they figured they'd give him a unique name like "Sparrow" instead to make his life more difficult.

Nicole gave birth to the couples son in September and they knew he would live a privileged life so they decided to make his life a little more complicated.

Joel said: “It reminded me of the Johnny Cash song ‘A Boy Named Sue’. My worry raising a son in Hollywood is, what will he have to struggle for? I wanted to give him a name that he’s going to have to stand up for. I love it, I think it’s a beautiful name.”

Joel also says he’s a amazed at how dedicated Nicole is to raising their family.

He told Britain’s OK! magazine: “While I’m working, it all piles on Nicole. She takes care of the kids, and it never gets to her. She doesn’t feel like she’s giving up anything – she is whole heartedly their mom.”

Nicole isn't just busy being a full time mom. The trendy star is busy working on her upcoming fashion line Winter Kate, which should be available sometime next year.

I'm proud of Nichole, she really turned her life around and doens't just talk the BS..You can't say that about many celebs now a days.

Kind of stupid, how about just not spoiling the kid? Make sure he knows he'll have to go to college and get a job when he grows up. It's nice that he's praising her for raising the kids, but let's face it, there are a lot of woman out there who are raising kids without maids and nannies. I don't think she has it quite that hard!

I wonder why hollywood celebrities feel they have to name their babies stupid names. Its ridiculous. I have a feeling alot of these babies will be changing their names when they turn 18.

Joel sounded kinda immature at first, but, once I read everything he had to say, I know where he's coming from. Sparrow is a beautiful name--sounds kinda Native American--but it might cause a challenge for him when he deals with people who stay inside the box. A Sparrow flying around in their lives might be just what it takes to convince them to allow themselves to fly outside the box!
