I hate weird names, says Peaches

Peaches Honeyblossom Michelle Charlotte Angel Vanessa Geldof has revealed she hates ridiculous names.

The 16-year-old daughter of Bob Geldof and Paula Yates said: "My weird name has haunted me all my life."

Miss Geldof has three sisters with equally bizarre names: Fifi Trixibelle, Pixie and Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily.

She protested against her name in a column called "I Hate" in this week's Smash Hits magazine, where she also complained: "I hate being famous. People claim to know me because of my surname."

She listed her other hates as the TV show You Are What You Eat - because presenter Gillian McKeith was "cruel", being called spoilt because "my life is ordinary", and the countryside: "I shudder at the thought," she said.

As for her name, she can count herself reasonably lucky. A recent poll voted Frank Zappa's daughter Moon Unit as having the most bizarre name, with Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin's daughter Apple in second place.
