Zakk Wylde Names Baby After Black Sabbath

Zakk Wylde has paid tribute to Black Sabbath band by naming his forth child after them.

Zakk and his wife Babaranne posted this update last Thursday:

"VALHALLA JAVA ALMIGHTY BLACK LABEL!!! SABBATH PAGE WIELANDT WYLDE Has Come to Join The Mother Chapter!!!!"

Sabbath Page Wielandt Wylde weighs eight pounds and one ounce, and measured 21 inches long, according to Henne Music. Congratulations to the Wylde family from UG!

Meanwhile, the guitarist has been touring with Ozzy Osbourne on his current tour which replaced the cancelled Black Sabbath dates after Tony Iommi's cancer diagnosis early this year.

Zakk's main band, Black Label Society, had recently announced that their next album won't arrive until 2014 at the earliest.

"I would imagine 2014 will be the next studio album with the heavy stuff on it," Zakk said at the time. "I was just looking at my schedule and it's like two or three years, but it's already mapped out. Obviously s—t changes in between and we'll figure out what the f--k to do … It really is crazy when you think about it."

good ol' american celeb names

[PatVanHalen5150]

Should've been named Pinch Harmonics Godawful Tone Wylde.

[slickwilly69]

Thats pretty cool. I named my son James after James Hetfield. I got anouther on the way and if its a boy, he will be Kirk.

[titoskins]

"weighs eight pounds and one ounce, and measured 21 inches long"...

that's what she said....

When was the last time a rock star had a baby and didn't inflict a god-awful name on it?

[slipknot836]

There's paying respect to a band and then there's giving your child a life of bullying at school... First and Last names of famous musicians usually sound fine but naming them Sabbath seems a bit far even being a Sabbath fan myself. I'd never call my child Metallica haha

[funkadelicblues]

Crap! That was gonna be my kid's name.

James is allright, but do you really want your kid named after a generic lick player with terrible (or non-existant) vibrato?

Does a name matter on a personal opinion? Just because he doesn't the greatest vibrato doesn't mean this guy shouldn't be able to name his child

[SOAD_SoG]

He should've been called "Symptom of the Universe" Wylde or "Sweet Leaf" Wylde, something like that'd have been a better tribute.

Frances Bean Coabain wasn't bad

[Tulten]

I don't think that's such a terrible name. I love when people have rad and inventive names! Besides, the word "sabbath" is phonetically pleasing and is named after a band that never seems dated or irrelevant. It's not like he named her Milli Vanilli or Baha Men.

[wylde1994]

Lets hope little Sabbath Wylde will follow in the footsteps of his father

[ermonski]

congratulations, Zakk!

Ritchie Blackmore's kids are Autumn (2 years old) & Rory (5 months old). Those are probably 2 of the most normal celebrity kid names ever.

[swave75]

Nick and Sophia Simmons...Jack, Kelly and Aimee Osbourne..those are normal names.

I'd expect the kid to be a Crybaby, so why not name it Kirk? Or Dunlop?

[jonpguitar01]

He's ****ing obsessed with his band isn't he? Cmon he's got the BLS banner everywhere.

[WHEEZE2112]

VALHALLA JAVA ALMIGHTY BLACK LABEL!!! SABBATH PAGE WIELANDT WYLDE Has Come to Join The Mother Chapter!!!!" YOU KNOW

[zalant]

I'm thinking that they'll either fall back to calling her Page, or maybe add an A to Sabbath, so she'd be Sabbatha (sort of like Tabitha). Would they shorten it and call her Sabby? Hmm...

Either way, congrats Zakk!!

[AzureNight]

Embarrassing.

[Zombow]

Yeah good luck at school kid.

Dude, his father is Zakk Wylde... I don't think the other kids even dare to think about bullying him... But of course, the name is pretty unpractical and can be hard to have in certain situations.

[FryingNemo]

His forth child, huh?

[Pol-Pot-Smoker]

Well, the homage is pretty valid I guess, but the name itself doesn't sound very good...

pretty sure Zakk is going to raise a strong kid and make nobody f**ks with Sabbath haha

[HoverFan#1]

I know somebody at school who wants to name his son Noah Lott Moore some day. I'd be perfectly happy with Jessica or Emily for my daughter if I ever have one.

[shredibanez24]

He could have at least used Page as a first name and Sabbath as a middle or something... come on

[dennis.1960]

"People make a lot of fuss about my kids having such supposedly 'strange names', but the fact is that no matter what first names I might have given them, it is the last name that is going to get them in trouble."
-- Frank Zappa, from The Real Frank Zappa Book

[adamzam]

If my name was Sabbath Page Wielandt Wylde, and my dad was Zakk Wylde i'd be the happiest kid on the planet.

[Z0S07657]

I have a feeling the name added a bit of weight to the baby.

[Lapidus]

That's why he put on so much weight, he was pregnant! uh wait

[jrodgers]

Way to go. Naming your child after the traditional Jewish day of rest.

Much better name than Nickelback Thayer Scheisse Wylde.

[p_a_morgan]

Hendrix Halen and now this? Zakk even rips off baby names.

i'm pretty sure the second any child sees Zakk they will know to be friends with the kid.

I was named James David after Hetfield and Mustaine, that's not so obvious. Maybe be a bit more subtle with your kids names, but still metal.

[ne14t]

Two middle names, fancy people those rock stars are. Remember most people will see this kids name as Sabbath Wylde which really isn't that bad interesting but not that bad in the least I mean like Moonbeam, Appleseed, Starchild shit like that is a little too ****ed. What I really want to know is the Page in reference to Jimmy Page?

[Woffelz]

I hope that child does not get bullied.

[HARTATTACK69]

god bless Mrs Wylde for being so cool with this

[Radz117]

*cringe*

Even the ostensibly humble members of the rock world get caught up in their own celebrity and show their loss of reality.

Is his middle name Table?

[ljpfahey]

A child named Sabbath - The laziest child in the history of the world.

[Dukey]

Damn, that name is weird, although I like the idea of a tribute to Black Sabbath...

I wanna name my future daughter Alice after Alice In Chains and the other one Rose after the song Every Rose Has It's Thorns.

Nevermind, someone was quicker than me and I really don't have the time to read ALL the comments about Zakk Hairspray's 15th child...

[Macabre_Turtle]

I like how so many people are insistent that the kid won't get bullied because apparently her dad would kick a kid's ass.

Ok maybe i should've been a bit more specific, i hope he/she becomes a musician like his/her Dad.

Dude, James is the #1 most common first name in America. No exaggerating.

[GenerationKILL]

/facepalm.

I really wish He'd quit the boner over his influences... We get it Zakk, you're soooo obsessed with Ozzy and Black Sabbath that you're willing to ruin your kid's name over it....

I can imagine that his levelheaded wife wanted to give their kid a normal name that it won't be ostracized over but Zakk was like "C'mon honey, how are people supposed to know how cool my CD collection is?!!"

Gimme a break. What if the kid wants NOTHING to do with his preferred genre of music?!!

[lost my pick]

Boy or a Girl? Unisex name? Help me out here

[guitgrinder]

I thought I was gonna have a kid once... was gonna name him Jason Mikael- Jason because I like the name, but based off Newsted from Metallica, and of course, Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth. Then I realized my uncle, who usually goes by "Jay" is actually named Michael Jason Bradley, & I thought that was kind of coincidental. We never ended up having the kid though... but if I ever do, that's it!

[Eclectic Lizard]

I'm gonna name my kid Electric Funeral.

No, his oldest is like 40 XD

His 2 most recent additions are 2 & 5 months. He's still got the ammunition of life at age 67.

He wasnt didnt got Blackmore for nothing. comes with the names i guess.

[StereoDeth]

Zakk should have named him Born Toby Wylde.

[AeroRocker]

At least the name has meaning outside of the band, and is somewhat pleasant sounding.

Checked.

[FallenDestiny]

"forth child"
lol

[CJMusics]

Boy or girl..

[Sanze]

The guy just gave me a great idea. I think I'll name my kid after Metallica. and by the way, Congratulations to Zakk.

[Randomrings]

Sabbath actually isn't the worst thing to name a kid. It doesn't compare to that one guy that named his kid Ganon, which I'm sure there are probably more than one, but I know of at least one kid that has been named Ganon, he's probably at least 3 years old now. Sabbath just has a nice ring to it, and with a name like Sabbath Wylde he is born to be a metalhead. Ganon?... not so much

[ruker]

So is Sabbath a boy or girl?

[theogonia777]

Does anyone else find it weird that babies are measured in length and not height?

[pokerhappy]

I would imagine it would be awkward to have to tour with Ozzy after naming your kid Sabbath.

[pokerhappy]

By the way, it's a boy.

[DeathMetalHub]

Im naming my first kid Abbath....girl or boy.

[koikomoru]

No zakk, this wont get you back into Ozzy's band. Nor into sabath for that matter...

[RealGuitarHero]

Should have just called it Iron Man

[Raizer Sabre]

Nothing like a cheesy old wah-wah pun!

[Ultraussie]

For a minute I actually thought the full name was "VALHALLA JAVA ALMIGHTY BLACK LABEL!!! SABBATH PAGE WIELANDT WYLDE".
Lol.

[Pit_]

El dopa!

Somebody has to name child after Cannibal Corpse too.

[Mightning]

i don't know, it would sound better if he just named him after a song or whatever... like iron man, or spiral architect, or lord of this world... or like, supertzar... or st. vitus - now there's a ****ing name

[almudjk]

That kid's going to have a lot of awkward moments in life.

I thought Zakk had quit his Wylde ways.

Sorry for that super cheezy pun

[Lewy_369]

"weighs eight pounds and one ounce, and measured 21 inches long"
about the same as Zakk's beard then

[Sylvane]

He should name one of his kids Darrell, after Dimebag seeing as though they were bestfriends

[Korzack]

"SABBATH PAGE WIELANDT WYLDE"?
Somebody's a Scrabble addict...

[Time Bomb]

I'd name it:

Pinch Harmonic Pentatonic Wanker Wylde

[smittyanthrax]

Shitty name i wonder what the other 3 are called.

[Psycho Pigeon]

This is not new, I know someone who did this. Sorry, Zakk, you aren't original.

[Dcrimmins918]

I go to school with a kid named Nazareth Halen H***

[popeslayer]

it would be hilarious if his son ended up being a dubstep dj or the next big thing on psychopathic records.

[pokerhappy]

The interesting part is that no one appears to care that he also named him after Jimmy Page

[sweepinblues]

I named my daughter Olivia Page 9 weeks ago. Good choice Zakk!

[Dynamight]

Seriously? What's next, naming your daughter "Metallica"? Oh wait...

[Hippedkille]

You can always use your middle name, you know.

[derek_domino]

Meh. Seems like Zakk has become a parody of himself. His kids' names are outrageous, his vocal style emulates Ozzy more and more, and he's been playing the same solos since The Blessed Hellride. He's pretty much irrelevant now. Saying he won't put out a heavy album until 2014 ensures that he'll be forgotten.

[Emilym80]

It's better than being a boy called Zowie Bowie... Or having any of Zappa's kids names. Still, that would be pretty embarrassing.

As often as Zakk ****s around with the media and as often as UG puts out shit writing, I don't believe this. And no, I will not search for another source, because I'm ****ing lazy.

Anyway, I would (and prolly will) use 'Glenn Kenneth Tony Divebomb Marshall' for a boy and 'Plexi Marshall' for a girl.

I absolutely love the names of kids of famous people. Jon Davis's kid is Pirate, Jermain Jackson's kid is Jermajesty, the list goes on and on.

On a lighter side of that, my daughter's middle name is Zelda. Yes, after the video game. But at least it's a real name and there is a real meaning behind it.

[breadfan82]

"I'd rather have another Tony Iommi, not another mindless guitar wanker who ruins everything with too many pinch harmonics and forced country vocals."

Yeah, we get it dude. Someone else already made a sh*tty joke about pinch harmonics earlier...and that one wasn't funny either.

Hang yourself.
