What compels people to do stuff like this? And what wife would possibly agree to this insanity?



Narcissism; the child's name is part of his show.

Good question about the partner; I guess that a narcissist can pair well with a very passive person (or maybe another narcissist).


There's actually an increasingly common naming pattern that I think is very weird, but in the end, I just let them do whatever. In the grand scheme of things, having a unique name can really help you stand out, and they can always go by a nickname. It doesn't hurt anything, and it could very well help.


he has a bunch of children with normal names too. I wonder if this was Grimes’ idea.


Grimes.


Some people are eccentric. Elon Musk is the husband of Claire Boucher, a musician.


Do you know that joke about crazy people being regular people and eccentric people being rich?
