I wasn’t expecting My Chemical Romance’s lead singer Gerard Way to call his daughter Millicent. But he and bassist wife Lindsey “Lyn-Z” Ballato have topped Suri, Apple and possibly even Pilot with their name for their darling daughter: Bandit Lee.
Mom and baby are healthy. And teenage fans of MCR everywhere have another baby name to consider – someday. Need I add that Bandit has never ranked in the US Top 1000?

So…does she look like a raccoon? Did she come out wearing a cute little neckerchief? Bandit Lee? WTF?
… Aaand it sounds like a jokename too. Leeway ¬¬… Seriously, I’m a fan of MCR, but no, no.
I feel so bad for that baby girl. Bandit? Sounds like a dog’s name to me, and Lee is way overused, especially in the middle name spot. I like MCR, but that name is beyond ridiculous.
Oh, my. I really don’t know what to say.
I think photoquilty said it all.
Oh, I assumed it was a boy. Poor little girl.
The f**k? That’s really all I can bring myself to say.
lol Julia, my thought exactly!
Right about now, some Italian judge is starting to think that “Friday” isn’t such an outrageous name after all…
ROFL! Exactly, Allison!
oh dear. she’s never going to win on the name front there
there are no flattering options at all really. Bandit. Leeway. I instantly thought boy too!
My first thought when I read about this was “What the heck are they naming, a dog or a baby?” If they had to use Bandit as their child’s name, it would have been better on a boy, but only slightly.
That little girl is never gonna be taken seriously when she’s older. Bandit Lee Way does not look good on a resumé or job application. I laughed at the “Lee Way” part. At least she can go by Andi/Andy or Ann if she wants to, or even Bea.
There was a kid in my 3rd grade class (lol Like 13 years ago, pretty long time.) named Justin Way. Seriously. Nice kid, and kind of popular, but some people did make fun of him for it.
My grandmother had a long haired dachshund named Bandit. lol
Still, I don’t dislike this as much as everyone else. And as far as being taken seriously, I doubt the children of famous band members really have to worry about such things.
You’re probably right, Kat. Apple Blythe Allison and Bronx Mowgli will think her name is perfectly normal.
Speaking of Apple, that’s the outrageous starbaby name I actually quite like.
The saddest thing is, they could as well have named their daughter Helena, like the famous MCR song (and Way’s late grandma).
I agree. Helena is a great name. It’s a whole lot better than Bandit and actually female.
I have nothing against unique names but this trend of using off the wall names like Bandit, Dreavyn, Bronx Mowgli, Messiah Ya’Majesty, etc… is beyond ridiculous. Do these parents really hate their kids that much?
Oh, Lucia – nice point!
Blech. I’ll echo everyone else here. Bandit’s awful.
I dislike Bandit as who would want to be known as a criminal?
