Bandit Lee Way born May 27, 2009

Congrats to them but seriously, Bandit is a pet's name, not a baby girl's.

I love the name Bandit. it's so awesome. and since she's a girl, it makes it WAY cooler [that was not on purpose XD]

I thought they would name the kid something artsy, but Bandit as a girl name? AWESOME! Congrats to Gerard and Lyn-Z. I wonder what Bandit loooks like.

honestly some of you are killing me. this is gerard we're talking about. you know, weird gerard? 'member him?

what did you think an eccentric, crazy frontman of a rock band and a bassist of one of the most chaotic bands today would come up with, martha or sue?

think about who you guys are talking about before you criticize. gerard and lyn-z do not = you.
===================================
oh and i'm pretty sure the baby looks like a baby. they tend to look the same until they get a bit older.

I am with you L -- their baby, they can name her what ever the heck they want to.

Bandit is lucky she wasn't named Brams Stoker Dracula Way or Artemis of Bana-Mighdall Way or Coffee Bean Way or Halloween Pumpkin Fairy Way.

i'd name my kid coffee been, no lie. or at least a nickname if i wasn't feeling particularly crazy that day.

This.

I'm up to my ears with "Omg, what a ~stupid name, he should die in a fire for thinking of that, that kid's gonna get picked on" comments (not so much here, elsewhere).

I, for one, would be disappointed if the name's not slightly wacky.

Congratulations on the happy couple & their families. <3

That's not an excuse. There are plenty of crazy, weird and eccentric people out there who manage to pick unique, thoughtful names for their kids without giving all the other kids at school lisence to bully them. I like Gerard, and Lindsey, and obviously it's up to them what they name their kid. But I just thought that he would have had a bit of common sense, is all, to think ahead a little bit to when this kid grows up. I know he probably wants his kid to be herself and not worry about what other people say, but try telling that to a nine year old who just wants to fit in with her friends.

Even Bronx sounds more like a name than Bandit.

lol so critical. i'm pretty sure they thought about the name long and hard. they had 8 to 9 months after all. not like they threw scrabble pieces against the wall.

it's not like it's that bad of a name, geez. when you have a kid you can name it what you want. i'm sure the kid will live a normal, happy life.

Wat a wonderful day was May 27 2009 with 2 wonderful news first My Chemical Romance is recording their new CD and then Gerard Way and Lin-z had their beautiful baby Bandit this day is a day to remember congrats to the new parents and I give you my best wishes on this new cycle in you lives enjoy it as muchas u can....

Coffee Bean as a nickname would be adorable.

Who the hell is anyone to judge what is appropriate to name a child? Apparently some thought went into this as they gave Bandit his mother and grandmother's middle name. You don't have to be a hardcore fan to know the boy worshipped his Grandmother and adores his Mom.

He and Lin owe no one an explanation of why they named the baby Bandit. However, I would bet there is a substantial reason behind her name, something meaningful and important to them.

Everyone wants to rail on Peter and Ashlee for naming baby boy "Bronx," but the name has very special connotations to both of them.

It seems odd that the majority of those worrying that she will be picked on, have no trouble mocking her name now. We are talking about a baby that has barely come into this world - why would you want to throw anything negative her way? (or Bronx for that matter.)

And I know of many children who have unique names that don't seem to phase anyone.

I find that the ironic bit. She's a newborn baby and they're already planting a ~crappy future for her, which goes to show. Hm. I didn't think people get made fun of for their names that much either. My name's different, people never told me to fuck off before lol.

It amazes me the depths people go to to pick on the band's *personal* choices even at their best moments. Lol.

This is probably spam...? Idunno. Sorry.

see, now you gave me an idea for the future!

Hey, that's what I am here for!

Crimes: Valid points!

oh and i'm sure the kid will be raised with the strong feeling of "dont give a fuck". that's what gerard has always been about, and differences not meaning anything. besides. you'd think eventually she'd learn that the people who will supposedly make fun of her are petty. nobody really makes fun of names nowadays anyway

aw love you gerarad and bandit lee, but im still not that used to lyn-z

jules:

Halloween Pumpkin Fairy Way.

Halloween Pumpkin Fairy is the best name ever!
