There are many perks that come with being the child of a celebrity. There is fame, there is a fortune, and over-the-top birthday celebrations. There are also some negative sides. Unusual baby names can be part and parcel of being a celeb’s kid.
Get ready to find out some of the weirdest and wonderful baby names introduced to us by Hollywood Stars:
Royal Reign
Lil Kim went for this unusual name combo when she was faced with naming her baby girl.
Royal is usually an old-school boy’s name, but she decided to spice it up pairing it with Reign, not to mention that alliteration going on there.

Future Zahir
Sure, the first name of the baby boy of Ciara and her rapper fiancé Future was keeping it in the family.
Future made his stage name his kid’s real name. Of course, they couldn’t leave it there and had to add the less out-there Zahir to complete the name.
Cricket
Busy Phillips seems to have an affinity for animals. Her first daughter is named Birdie which is strange but not too crazy.
Can you imagine being named after that summer bug that makes the most annoying sound? Poor Cricket…
North West
North West has become such a stable name in the media that we hardly think of it as strange anymore. The Kardashian’s seem to have a talent for things like this.
When Kim and Kanye first announced this strange mix of directions as the name of their first child, we couldn’t help but scratch our heads.
Breeze Baretta
Another great use of alliteration by Levi Johnston! The former Bristol Palin beau really went all out with this one.
Breeze is acceptable, but who on earth names their baby girl after a brand of weapons? Sounds like too violent of a name choice for me.
Rosalind Arusha Arkadina Altalune Florence
Try to say this name five times in a row, I dare you. While some of the five names Uma Thurman decided to burden her youngest with, aren’t too bad, some of them are downright bizarre!
Apparently when it comes to the name Uma uses in real life, its Luna, a shortening of her fourth given name.
Poppy Honey Rosie, Buddy Bear, Daisy Boo Pamela, and Petal Blossom Rainbow
It’s hard not to let out a chuckle when reading the names celebrity chef Jamie Oliver gave to all his daughters.
While some of the whimsical names are decent, we have no doubt poor Daisy may drop the Boo at some stage of her adult life.
Maple Sylvie
You can’t deny that Jason Bateman chose a name that sounds pretty delicious, but I can’t help but feel it’s a better name for a dessert dish than a child…
The question remains, was he thinking of the majestic tree or the sweet syrup when he chose this name?
Bear Blu
For some unknown reason, Bear is something of a common name when it comes to celeb babies. Alicia Silverstone is one of the three celebs to name her baby boy Bear. The other two include Jamie Oliver.
It seems the trend is not catching on with the public. Only 83 kids were given that name last year in the US.
Moroccan and Monroe
They may not be a couple anymore, but when Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon were married, they put their heads together to give their children some wacky names.
Luckily the two are still on good terms and know how to co-parent their children beautifully! But who else thinks they may call their children Rock and Roe?
Sparrow James Midnight
Nicole Richie and Joel Madden didn’t push the boundaries too far when they named their first child Harlow Winter. But it seems they went all out with their youngest boy.
It’s like they thought of the two weirdest names possible, a fluttery bird and a time of day, and joined with the totally ordinary James.
Zuma Nesta Rock, Kingston James McGregor, and Apollo Bowie Flynn
Talk about a mouthful! Gwen Stefani and former husband Gavin Rossdale know how to pick some colorful names for their brood of babies.
While the first two are place names, they seem to have gone a different direction with baby number three, choosing the names of a Roman god. Each to their own, I guess.
Kal-El
Nicholas Cage is known for being a bit wacky in every way, so we expected nothing less of a strange name for his son.
He didn’t disappoint! Cage went for the Krypton name of Superman… because of course, Clark Kent would have been way too mainstream.
Jagger Joseph Blue, Poet Sienna Rose, and Lyric Sonny Roads
With a name like Soleil Moon Frye, it is fully expected that she would pick some out-there names for her kids. And call me crazy, but I kind of love them.
Sure, they aren’t names you’ll find at your local playground, but I still think a name like Poet Sienna Rose has a ring to it.
Moxie CrimeFighter and Zolten Penn
I can hop on board for many of these unique names but naming your daughter Moxie Crimefighter as Magician Penn Jillette just seems insane.
I guess the life of a fame’s magician is different to us ordinary folk, but I wouldn’t like to have the title ‘Moxie’.
Apple
Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow were a power couple in their time. And being an A-list celeb couple, they got to choose whatever name they wanted without batting an eyelid.
It seems they liked the wholesome vibe of this fruity name and started quite a trend. Many more girls were named Apple the year following.
Banjo
Sometimes names are particular to the country. For Rachel Griffiths, naming her child Banjo, would seem acceptable in her home country of Australia.
There it is the title of one of the country’s most beloved poets, whilst on this side of the world, it is just a name of twangy country tunes.
Pilot Inspektor
I dare you to read this name allowed and not let out a giggle. Rumor has it that actor Jason Lee did not pick this name because he wanted his kid to be a pilot or an inspector.
Apparently, he based it on a Granddaddy song titled, "He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's the Pilot." Which honestly makes less sense than him wanting his kid to be a pilot…
Audio Science
Actress Shannyn Sossamon gained the title as the ‘queen of weird baby names’ when she named her first baby Audio Science…yes, you didn’t hear wrong - Audio Science.
It seems she decided weird baby names are something that should be a once off. Audio’s little brother got a more common and old-fashioned name - Mortimer.
Heaven Love'on & God'Iss Love
There is definitely sweet intention behind the baby names Lil ' Mo picked for her two kids; I mean you can’t get more positive words.
However, it’s hard to overlook the weird punctuation and odd spelling that the R&B singer chose to name her kids.
Tu
Actor Rob Morrow was going to take full advantage of his odd last name when it came to naming his children.
He decided to give his son a pun name (Tu Morrow….get it?) let's just hope the poor kid doesn’t mind being the butt of every joke.
Jermajesty
What was Jermaine Jackson thinking when he decided on this name? the ridiculous name seems to come from him combining his name with the word ‘majesty’.
It truly is one of the worst on the list, and probably inspired parents to come up with some awful names.
Seven Sirius, Mars Merkaba, and Puma Rose Sabti
Erykah Badu is anything but conventional. Everyone expected the singer and songwriter to go for weird names, but she outdid herself.
There seems to be absolutely no logical sense or rhyme and reason for her choices. They go from animals to planets to numbers and flowers.
Speck Wildhorse
It’s always nice to name your child after someone special, and that’s what rocker John Mellencamp and Elaine Irwin did when they named their son after their grandfather.
It is hard to overlook the fact that speck means insubstantial or tiny…I guess they tried to compensate with his second name- Wildhorse…
Blue Angel
I bet you thought Blue Ivy was the first of her kind! But before Beyoncé and Jay Z named their first child after the color, The Edge already used it!
U2’s guitarist picked this colorful name for his daughter, which was surprising since his first two girls have very run-in-the-mill names like Hollie and Arran.
Seargeoh
It’s hard to know how to pronounce Sylvester Stallone’s little girl’s name. You can look at it for hours and still be confused.
He cleared up the confusion and states it is just a wacky spelled Sergio… why he had to be so complicated, we can only imagine.
Diva Thin Muffin, Dweezil, and Moon Unit
Frank Zappa earns the title king of strange name giver. Who in their right mind gives their child the middle name ‘Thin’? It's an eating disorder in the making.
Still, after all these years he earns the top spot on the Wacky Name Hall of Fame.
Heiress Harris
It’s quite the tong twister, with some alliteration thrown in, and we can imagine being named Heiress gives you a lot to live up to.
Luckily, she has T.I. as her father so we’re sure she can handle anything that comes her way.
Phyllon Gorre
Some celebs seem to think they can get away with anything, which seems to be the case here with the name choice of supermodel Doutzen Kroes and her husband, DJ.
Their son’s name sounds more like a character on Star Trek and less like the name of a baby who is from this earth.
Ace Knute
You can’t deny Jessica Simpson’s little boy is adorable beyond words, and in all honesty, the name Ace by itself isn’t that bad.
Combine it with Nut and that Ace Knut combo just sounds like a supervillain you do not want to know.
Pirate
I guess we couldn’t expect anything but a bizarre name for the child of the frontman of Korn. Jonathan and Devon Davis really pushed the boundaries with this one.
Naming your child Pirate pretty much gives the poor kid negative connotations before he even has a chance to prove himself.
Alabama Gypsyrose
Drea de Matteo and Shooter Jennings seem to relish in putting random words together to create names for their children. While it makes sense Shooter Jennings would name a son Waylon after his superstar father, this name makes no sense.
The only other Gypsy Rose we know is the stripper and author Gypsy Rose Lee and who wants their child associated with that?
Memphis Eve and Elijah Bob Patricius Guggi Q
Guggi Q? sounds like a stripper name to me so I have no idea why anyone would give that name to their child.
I guess when you’re Bono you think you can get away with naming your kids with words that sound like some kind of ladies’ night beverage.
Bronx Mowgli
It may even knock Audio Science off the seat for worst celeb baby name of them all. The only redeeming factor is that Bronx could come off as kind of cute.
But why Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz decided on Mowgli? Even if they named him after the animated boy of the wild, there is no excuse.
Jaden Christopher Syre & Willow Camille Reign
I have seriously mixed feelings about Will and Jada Pinkett Smith’s children’s name. On one hand, using across-gender variations of their own names is the most egotistical thing possible.
On the other hand, the names are pretty sounding, and I guess icons like these two are allowed to have somewhat of ego and get away with it.
Lou Sulola
I must be honest, I kind of love this strange and unique name that Heidi Klum and her former husband Seal chose for their daughter.
It takes the typically boys name and spins it to be a beautiful girls name. We are sure this inspired many other parents to use Lou for their daughters.
Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily
Paula Yates is known for her baby name madness, but when she gave birth with her new man, Michael Hutchence, her choice for her new child took the cake of worst name on the list.
It just does not mesh. It sounds like she strung a bunch of random words together, ending with some tribal sounding mantra.
Prince Michael II/”Blanket”
I wonder how long it took for Michael Jackson’s poor son to realize he was not, in fact, royalty at all.
The fact that he got given the nickname Blanket because of the unfortunate event where MJ nearly accidentally dropped him while holding him in a Blanket does not do any justice to the situation.
Denim
Who would possibly think to name their children along the lines of “Polyester,” “Suede,” or “Poly-Blend”? the answer is no one, and I’m sorry to say but the same thing applies to Denim.
Apparently, Tony Braxton thinks otherwise and has no issue naming her child after a commonly used material.
Diezel
Just you wait, there’s more! Tony Braxton does not seem content with naming her poor kids after materials.
Apparently, fossil fuels make totally acceptable names to. Denim and Diezel…quite the Brady Bunch isn’t it?
Free
We are sure Barbara Hershey and David Carradine only had the best of intentions when they named their son Free, after all, it does have positive connotations.
Despite their good intentions, I can only imagine Free had a pretty hard time growing up with this wacky title. Especially since he later changed his name to a much more normal one - Timothy.
Kyd
This is a rather controversial choice by David Duchovny and Tea Leoni. And I’m not even addressing the fact that they clearly need spelling lessons.
I can’t help but think that naming your kid ‘Kyd’ is just a cop-out for having to face the decision of actually giving your child a real name.
Satchel
Woody Allen and Mia Farrow were Hollywood royalty during their twelve-year relationship and clearly extended their creativity when it came to naming their children.
That being said… Satchel? Honestly why not just name your kid ‘manpurse’ and be done with it? It comes as no surprise that he later changed his name to Ronan.
Kulture Kiari Cephus
The daughter of one of the most famous couples of pop culture at the moment, Cardi B and Offset also has one unique and strange name that has me asking questions.
Kulture comes from Culture, which is one of Offset’s album titles, Kiari comes from her father whose real name is Kiari Kendrall Cephus. I guess they decided to keep it in the family.
Destry
I guess when your last name is Spielberg, it’s kind of all people can think about. So, when Steven Spielberg had a daughter, I suppose he wanted her to stand out on her own too.
Maybe that’s why he chose such a unique name. Although it is definitely not conventional, it is beautiful in its own way.
Bluebell Madonna
Geri Halliwell may be a member of the Spice Girls, but no matter how famous and well-known you are there is NEVER an excuse to name your child something like BLUEBELL.
The poor baby girl has to live with this awful name. When she gave birth, she tried to explain this weird choice stating, ‘what really clinched it for me was my mother telling me that the bluebell is increasingly rare - it's a precious flower, which seems just right for my daughter.’
Hero
British singer, pianist, and model Myleene Klass has had quite the career, but while she may be good at most things, naming her children is not the top of the list.
At least she has the goof feminist sense to not name her ‘heroine’, which may have had some bad connotations.
Cash Van
The American country musician and songwriter Dave Haywood who is part of the band Lady Antebellum chose one creepy name for his son.
Cash Van is a way more creepier version of Cash Cab. I bet the poor kid didn’t wait long before he changes it to something else.
Everest
When your dad is the filmmaker responsible for Star Wars, George Lucas, you’re bound to have one epic name.
So the tallest mountain on the planet may be just right. Though I certainly wouldn’t want my name to be one of a mountain, it’s definitely not the worst on the list.
Honor
Jessica Alba and Cash Warren are a pretty iconic couple. They have had one of the longest relationships in Hollywood today.
I guess their decision to choose their child’s name by the qualities they wished them to possess is not the worst idea.
