Gwen Stefani's Homage to Bob Marley?

Filed under: Baby Blabber > Music Minute

wenn1953937.jpg

Here's an interesting theory behind the baby name!

Judging from their babies' names, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale must be huge Bob Marley fans! And probably big stoner too!

Their newest baby is named Zuma Nesta Rock.

'Nesta' is Bob Marely's middle name, too!

Gwen and Gavin's eldest son is named Kingston.

The capital of Bob Marley's native Jamaica is Kingston!

Pretty cool!

One love y'all!

    We established this yesterday that Nesta is Bob Marley's middle name…. catch up Perez!

  43. 43

    Zuma…. not feeling it. I think I can be honest to say I hate it. But, not my kid. I still love Gwen and her music is amazing. She looks great and is a class act from what media publishes anyhow…. pot head to rock music is water to a flower HAHA like we did not even think twice on that issue haha

    or.. she could just be choosing jamaican names because of her love of jamaican culture… she is from a ska band.. not too far of a strectch really… nor is it a bob marely reference is it.

  45. 45

    So her and no doubt do one album in jamacia, and now shes a hard core jamacian?

    rap on white girl, rap on

  46. 46

    I made that connection right away! Gwen loves her reggae! She's been in all sorts of reggae songs including her rock steady album with No Doubt.

    Re: addictedtolost

    I think Wii

  48. 48

    Hey, thanks for using my painting! You could credit me too, ;)

    Peace.

  49. 49

    You white people are sooooo fucking late! It took you that long to figure it out? And why when you think Bob Marley you have to think that they are pot heads? He wasn't just known for his weed consumption. He is one of the greatest musicians ever. Maybe they just respect that aspect of it? I know many people named after Bob Marley.

    Re: Ashley..

    True that.

  51. 51

    I love Bob Marley too, but I'm not going to set my son up for getting his ass kicked on a regular basis just to honor him. Come on people. Names like that should be reserved for your pets; not your children. Quit being so selfish!

  55. 55

    Why does everyone care so much about celebrities' babies? Yeah, babies are cute, but this obsession with stars' kids is just plain weird and voyeuristic. Just snap out of it…I'm just saying:-)

  56. 56

    I'm the biggest pot head in the world and I would never do that to my kid. Stupid.

    Zuma was the name of a 1975 Neil Young album.
