Jessica Simpson's baby's name reminds Kathy Griffin of 'feminine napkin'

Beijing Bulletin (ANI) Thursday 3rd May, 2012

Kathy Griffin, who is known for ripping into celebrities and was once called a "50-year-old bully" by Sarah Palin, has now set her sights on Jessica Simpson's newborn Maxwell Drew.

The 51-year-old comedienne said she is worried about the baby's potential nickname "Maxi".

"I'm all for it," the New York Daily News quoted her as telling Us Weekly.

"I get nervous about the inappropriate celebrity baby names, but I actually approve," she said.

While Griffin finds the girl's name acceptable, she isn't so sure about any potential nicknames.

"The nickname 'Maxi' does remind me of a feminine napkin or a long dress that was popular in Gloria Steinem's era, but 'Max' I can live with.

"Believe me, she would've heard from me if it was a fruit or a vegetable or a kind of wallpaper or whatever these crazy celebrities are doing," she added.

Simpson, 31, and fiance Eric Johnson, 32, welcomed their 9-pound, 13-ounce daughter on Tuesday morning. (ANI)
