McNugget
McNugget: (Noun) Battered chicken food item from McDonalds; also, one of many possible names for a McConaughspawn.I can't even believe that I'm writing my second entry in as many number of days about a goddamn celebrity baby name, yet here we are. Matthew McConaughey and girlfriend Camila Alves have named their newborn son Levi Alves McConaughey -- as in, the jeans I assume.
Amazingly, this doesn't even make the top two of stupid names in the immediate McConaughey lineage, as young Levi joins his uncle "Rooster" and cousin "Miller Lyte." I guess this kid should just count his blessings that his dad didn't get stuck behind a pickup truck with one of those delightful pairs of plastic testicles hanging down in the back on the way to the delivery room -- because he was this close to being called Truck Nutz McConaughey.
Update: McConaughey says "Levi" is another name for the apostle Matthew in the Bible. Yeah, anyway. And I'm sure "Miller Lyte" is also coincidentally the name of one of Jesus's lesser known disciples. You know, the one he used to go booze-cruising for tail with.

Huh. Denim like the jean.
At least he has Miller Lyte to look out for him.
I can't believe I'm about to defend The Armpit.
It's true. Levi was the other name for the apostle Matthew. Just like Peter was actually Simon Peter.
I'm going to hang my head in shame.
Yeah you don't make it easy to defend the guy, but it's true. It was a people name before it was a product name.
I'm with Nicole on this one - Levi is a perfectly cromulent name. I know a Levi who is a nice kid with parents who aren't famous or even particularly weird.
It was, in fact, a whole Jewish tribe (named after Levi, son of Jacob) before it was an apostolic name.
My screen is now covered in Diet Dr Pepper thanks to the phrase "Truck Nutz McConaughey". That's my new favorite name.
Far be it from me to take up the cause of the Salubrious Souderific Southerner...unless he's right. It's a people name, as in, the guy who invented the product was named Levi. We could just as easily be walking the earth in 'Abrahams', 'Sardonicuses', or...'Suris'?
I know other people have said this but seriously. Levi is a real name. Of all the things hollywood gives you to make fun of you pick the one thing that is actually not worth making fun of.
Better luck next time.
