Rumer Willis Hated Her Name

Aw, poor Rumer Willis. As someone who had to endure "Knickerbocker bean soup, Knickerbocker green poop" as a taunt for my name ("Nicole") I almost feel sorry for the hairy tumor...

RUMER Willis used to hate her name. The daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis tells this Sunday's Page Six Magazine that when she was 12, she realized she "got screwed." "My sisters, Scout and Talullah, had cute nicknames," she says. "When I was 12 and had crushes on guys, I'd put my first name with their last name, but it never sounded right. Rumer Depp? Nope. In school, kids would sing, 'Rumer, Rumer with a big hairy tumor.' " She also says she was shocked to be named one of People's 100 Most Beautiful People this year: "After being compared to Jay Leno for so long, you don't think of yourself in that way."

She did totally get the shaft with that name. But kids can make fun of ANY name, so really you're screwed no matter what your name is.

Really, she gets jabs for looking like Leno? I would have pegged her as a dead ringer for Herman Munster. Somehow I find it amusing when the child of two attractive people winds up with all of their WORST features instead of their best. Because frequently you see two terrifying people with great looking kids and go "what the hell?" - just the other end of the spectrum.
