I also think that Knox is weird and that what Brangelina named one of the twins. The other is Vivienne, that I do like. I don’t like it, that’s for sure!

Bronx and Mowgli are both odd, but they're both reasonably usable, especially for celebrity parents. Bronx is a place name, and those are definitely in right now, as are names that end in X (consider Max, Alex, Maddox, and Felix). Mowgli could sound rather sweet, though it seems like an odd choice unless the parents have some connection to "The Jungle Book." Still, it's literary, and the middle slot is a great place to be more daring. Put them together, though, and the name has no balance. It's good to pair a daring name with one that feels more neutral. Bronx Gabriel Wentz would have been rather charming, as would have Christopher Mowgli Wentz. But Bronx Mowgli? No. This should have been a “one-or-the-other” choice.

At least they didn't use Mowgli for a first name. It makes a fun and inspired middle name choice. As for Bronx, it makes a cute name for a baby and I bet will be a cool name for a teenager too.

People should stop being so negative and let it be. They're the parents and if they like it, that's all that matters. Bronx-- too cute =] I think that Bronx Mowgli Wentz sounds adorable.

I've been to the Bronx, so I don't know the neighborhood, but in sound, it's not bad. The main drawback to me is that it is so hard to say with the last name....which makes the name feel like poor planning to me. I don’t hate it.
