They named a kid River.

I thought he picked that name out for himself...

eta: imdb says his parents gave him that one, but I could swear I read somewhere else the kids were allowed to pick their own names.

Those Phoenix's are rather strange.

They named a kid River.

And Leaf. Not Leif; Leaf.

With sisters named Summer, Rain and Liberty.

They had a girl named Summer, too, if I recall. I just remember the story about raising a lot of kids in an RV somewhere in the desert. And in a Rolling Stone interview with River, their mother made a comment about the family being vegan along the lines of, "cow's milk is for baby cows, silly." Horrified that we might be depriving some calf of its dinner or something.

I just placed an order on Cafe Press, and can send $5-off coupons to my friends. Anyone interested? Shoot me an email (or just say it in here) in the next hour or so (looks like up to 5 friends).

I had a friend who knew the family when they were all kids. He told me this about the kids' names.

Maybe I'm confused because I'm reading now that Joaquin changed his name to Leaf when he was four so he could have a nature name, too.

EpicTangent, could you send me one of those CafePress coupons? Profile email is good.

Added to the list!

Thanks.
