Pete Wentz Explains Bronx Mowgli’s Name

I think people are being a little funny giving Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson a hard time with the name for their new baby boy, Bronx Mowgli. I love names that have to do with places.

Pete was on the Ryan Seacrest show Friday and took a moment to explain what Bronx’s name meant. His middle name Mowgli, came from the movie, The Jungle Book of course.

The Jungle Book was something that me and Ashlee bonded over. It’s a cool name.”

But for the name Bronx, he just said it came out of an idea.

“We came up with the idea Bronx [after we’d] been throwing [ideas] back and forth a while.”

Pete’s not sure why people are making such a big deal of it…

“I feel weird because all these people have all these ideas on what it means … I don’t think anyone knows the real story of why or how. People are stoked or p*ssed or whatever. And you’re like, you know what: I don’t think anyone really has the real story.”

I think when you pick names for your child it probably was in an intimate moment. It shouldn’t have to be explained just because they are different.
