Of course, there are plenty of Hollywood stars, athletes and social media influencers who have children with completely mainstream names. But picking something wacky and outrageous for your offspring is certainly more memorable and unforgettable! Case in point: Is there anyone who doesn’t know that Gwyneth Paltrow named her daughter Apple? As the trend for crazy names continues, we have rounded up some of the most unique baby girl names and unique baby boy names that celebrities have bestowed upon their offspring over the years.

80+ Uncommon, Unique and Weird Celebrity Baby Names

Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet Emuukha, and Diva Muffin

Back in the 1960s and ’70s, rocker Frank Zappa was a trailblazing musician. As it turns out, he was also a pioneer when it came to bestowing unusual names upon one’s children: Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet Emuukha Rodan and Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen.

Apple

The apple of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s eye, Apple certainly wasn’t the OG celeb kid to have a less-than-traditional name when she was born 18 years ago. But Apple Blythe Martin was among the first of a new generation to have unique monikers.

Beautiful Zeppelin

Born on November 11, 2022, Beautiful Zeppelin is the 11th child of The Masked Singer host Nick Cannon. The television host and singer is also dad to twins Moroccan and Monroe (born 2011), son Golden Sagon (2017), daughter Powerful Queen (2020), twin sons Zillion Heir and Zion Mixolydian (June 2021), son Legendary Love (June 2022), daughter Onyx Ice Cole (September 2022), and son Rise Messiah (September 2022). Cannon is also the father of the late Zen, who died in December 2021 at five months old after a short battle with brain cancer, with model Alyssa Scott, who is expecting the performer’s 12th child any day now.

Malibu Barbie

Yep, YouTube personality Trisha Paytas and her husband, Moses Hacmon, named their daughter after the original California girl, the iconic Barbie doll.

Rainbow

Former Playboy Bunny and The Girls Next Door star Holly Madison wanted to give her firstborn with ex-husband Pasquale Rotello a “pretty and unique” name when baby Rainbow was born in 2013.

Audio Science

Actress Shannyn Sossaman has said that she and author Dallas Clayton “wanted a word, not a name” for their elder son. The word-for-a-name turned out to be a fortuitous selection: Now 19, Audio is a singer, songwriter and producer.

Cyan

Model Adriana Lima and her boyfriend, film producer Andre Lemmers, named their baby boy after the crystalline blue-green waters that surround the Maldive Islands—the same shade as their son’s eyes.

Kulture Kiari and Wave Set

When it came to naming her daughter with rapper Offset, born in 2018, Cardi B tweeted that she didn’t want a “basic” first name for their baby, whose middle name is after her father’s government name. Kulture became a big sister in 2021 when little brother Wave was born—dad came up with the ocean-inspired first name for his son while the one-year-old’s middle name is derived from his dad’s professional moniker.

Dimity Facente

When comedian Chris Hardwick and model Lydia Hearst welcomed their daughter in 2022, they named her after a sheer cotton fabric typically used for bedding and curtains. Dimity’s middle name, Facente, is an Italian word that means doing, industrious, or eager.

Sparrow James Midnight

The son of Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden and Nicole Richie was born in 2009, making the couple’s daughter, Harlow, a big sister.

Strummer Newcomb

The 4-year-old son of Julia Stiles and her husband, Preston Cook, Strummer became a big brother in 2022 when the family welcomed baby Arlo.

X Æ A-12 and Exa Dark Sideræl

While Elon Musk’s older children have common names, the monikers chosen by the technology entrepreneur and pop star Grimes for the two youngsters they share together are definitely unique. Their son is called X for short, and their daughter is nicknamed Y.

Bluesy Belle

After years of making music together in the studio, Glee star Darren Criss and his wife Mia produced a whole new project together when they welcomed their first child in April 2022. It’s no wonder they gave their daughter a melodic name!

Wilde Wolf Fife Alexander

Why have just one middle name when you can have four? Wilde Wolf Fife Alexander Somers was the full-name rapper Eve and her husband, Maximillian Cooper, bestowed upon their son when he was born in February 2022.

Stormi

After giving their 4-year-old daughter a nature-inspired name, Kylie Jenner and partner Travis Scott followed suit with their second child and named their little boy Wolf when he was born in February 2022. But then, the couple decided that they didn’t like the name Wolf after all—but haven’t yet announced his new name.

Blue Ivy, Sir and Rumi

Hollywood power couple Beyonce and Jay-Z settled upon equally powerful names for their brood: daughter Blue Ivy, almost 11, and 5-year-old twins Sir and Rumi. Blue’s first name is believed to be a reference to her dad’s Blueprint albums while Ivy is a take on IV, the roman numeral four, and the title of her mom’s last album before she was born. As for the twins, Jay-Z reportedly decided upon the strong name for the couple’s son since he had a demanding presence immediately upon his birth, while daughter Rumi is named after the 13th-century scholar and poet.

Pilot Inspektor

Sometimes a song just sticks with you so much, you use it to name your kid. That’s the story for Pilot Inspektor Lee, the son of actor Jason Lee and his ex-wife, Beth, who were so inspired by the song “He’s Simple, He’s Dumb, He’s the Pilot” from indie rock band Grandaddy that they then named their son Pilot.

Maple

Jason Bateman and Amanda Anka’s older daughter, Francesca, got a sweet baby sister when Maple was born in 2012.

Marmaduke and Huckleberry

After selecting a perfectly normal name like Jesse for their oldest son (born in 2003), British adventurer Bear Grylls and his wife, Shara, went with literary-inspired names Marmaduke (2006) and Huckleberry (2009) for their two younger boys.

North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm

Entrepreneurs Kim Kardashian and Kanye West named their firstborn, daughter North (2013), after the highest point on a compass. Son Saint followed in 2015, because he was a “blessing” after Kardashian’s difficult pregnancy. The former couple named their second daughter, born in 2018, Chicago as a tribute to Kanye’s late mother, who was raised there. Before Psalm was born in 2019, Kardashian revealed, a blind medium she met while visiting Indonesia told her that she was going to have another son, and “that it was going to be my father reincarnated.”

Dream

Bringing their daughter into the world was a dream come true for Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna, even if their relationship ended up crashing and burning shortly after Dream was born in 2016.

Row Renggli

E! News host Morgan Stewart and her husband, Jordan McGraw, welcomed their first child in February 2021, naming their daughter Row Renggli. In comparison, little brother Grey Oliver’s name is so basic!

Future Zahir

The future is bright for Ciara’s son with rapper Future, who was named after his dad’s stage name when he was in 2014. Ciara went on to have two more children with her now-husband, Russell Wilson, daughter Sienna Princess (born in 2017, who shares a middle name with her mom) and Win Harrison (born in 2020, his middle name is in honor of his paternal grandfather).

Java

Perhaps Yellowstone star Josh Holloway and his model wife, Kumala, knew they’d be sleep-deprived when they welcomed their first child, daughter Java Kumala, in 2009.

Lyra Antarctica

Shortly after Ed Sheeran and his wife, Cherry, welcomed their daughter in 2020, the singer revealed on the British morning show Lorraine that they didn’t want their baby girl to have a name as common as her dad’s moniker. The heroine Lyra in the fantasy trilogy His Dark Materials was the inspiration for their baby’s first name, and her middle name is in honor of a trip the couple once took to Antarctica.

Sunday

YouTube stars Savannah and Cole LaBrant weren’t the first celebs to name their daughter after the first day of the week. Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, and Mike Myers and wife Kelly, also have daughters named Sunday.

Seven, Puma and Mars

Erykah Badu welcomed her first child, son Seven Sirius, with rapper Andre 3000 in 1997. Sister Puma Sabti, the singer’s daughter with rapper The D.O.C., joined the family in 2004, and Mars Merkaba rounded out the trio when she was born to Badu and Jay Electronica in 2009.

Shanda

On its own, the name Shanda is positively lovely. Unless your family name is Lear— as in Learjet founder Bill Lear. But we’re sure chandelier… uh, Shanda Lear, was a bright light in her dad’s life! Today, the 78-year-old businesswoman is a motivational speaker and life coach.

Milou Alizée

Milou Alizee Hilton has a French-inspired name in common with her Auntie Paris. When Barron Hilton and his wife, Tessa, were deciding upon a name for their first child—a daughter born in 2020—the couple returned to their relationship roots. They met in the Pointe Milou district of St. Barths, and their daughter’s middle name means “trade winds” in French.

Rocket, Rebel, Rogue and Racer

Filmmaker Robert Rodriguez and his ex-wife, Elizabeth, stuck with alliteration when it came to naming their brood, all of whom followed Dad into showbiz: sons Rocket (born 1995), Racer (born 1997), Rebel (born 1999), and Rogue (born 2004), and little sister Rhiannon (born 2005).

Raddix Chloe Wildflower

Free spirit Cameron Diaz and her husband, Good Charlotte frontman Benji Madden, reportedly loved the word “rad” so much that they incorporated it into their daughter’s name when she was born in January 2020. Raddix is said to be a combination of rad and a translation of “new beginning.”

Story

We wonder if Derek and Hannah Jeter’s middle daughter has an imagination as fantastic as her first name. Long before the New York Yankees icon named his daughter Story in 2019, the gender-neutral moniker was chosen by Jenna Elfman and Soleil Moon Frye for their sons.

Bear

Several celebrities have named their kids after the forest mammal, including Alicia Silverstone (Bear Blu, born in 2011), Kate Winslet (Bear Blaze, born in 2013), Jamie Oliver (Buddy Bear, born 2010) and Liam Payne (Bear Grey, born 2017).

Jupiter

Actress Ashley Tisdale liked the gender-neutral sound of Jupiter, which she told Good Morning America came from a song her mom used to sing to her when she was young. Husband Christopher French picked out the middle name for daughter Jupiter Iris, who was born in March 2021.

Rosalind Arusha Arkadina Altalune Florence

Imagine writing that name on a school test! Thankfully the 10-year-old daughter of actress Uma Thurman and her former partner, French businessman Arpad Busson, goes by the much shorter nickname, Luna.

Mint

We imagine Dutch model Romee Strijd has made a mint posing in lingerie for Victoria’s Secret. Maybe that’s why she and her fiancé, Laurens van Leeuwen, named their first daughter, born in December 2020, Mint?

Kal-El

If the name is good enough for Clark Kent, then it’s good enough for Nicolas Cage. The actor and his ex-wife, Alice, named their second son in honor of Superman’s Kryptonian name.

Bronx Mowgli

Former couple Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz have always left an air of mystery surrounding why they chose to name their son (born in November 2008) after one of New York City’s five boroughs. The teenager’s middle name, however, is after The Jungle Book’s mischievous main character.

Seargeoh

Apparently, Sylvester Stallone was way ahead of the trend to use unique spellings of common names. His second son, Seargeoh (pronounced Sergio), was born in 1979—and even shared the screen with his dad in Rocky II when he was a baby. Seargeoh, along with his late brother Sage Moonblood, are Stallone’s two sons with his first wife, Sasha Czak.

Gravity Blue, Slim Easy and Rumble Honey

With a name like Lucky Blue Smith, the model and singer couldn’t be expected to name his kids Jane and John. He welcomed his first child, daughter Gravity Blue, with singer Stormi Henley in 2017, and shares daughter Rumble Honey (born October 2020) and son Slim Easy (born January 2022) with his wife, model Nara Pellman.

Olympia Lightning, Thunder and Saint Leo

Jamaican Olympian Usain Bolt, considered to be one of the greatest sprinters of all time, played upon his surname when it came to naming two of his three children with longtime girlfriend Kasi Bennett. Daughter Olympia Lightning was born in 2020, and twins Thunder and Saint Leo were born a year later.

Bridgemont

Criminal Minds star Adam Rodriguez and his wife, Grace, made up the name Bridgemont for their son when their third child was born in 2020. The actor shared on The Talk that he and his wife loved the symbolism of a bridge as a connector, and that -mont is derived from a family name, Montalvo.

Eureka Muse

The daughter of Amanda Knox and her husband, Christopher Robinson, Eureka Muse was born in 2021—a rainbow baby after the couple suffered a devastating miscarriage.

Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches Honeyblossom, Little Pixie and Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily

The four daughters of the late British television personality Pamela Yates and musician Bob Geldof certainly have musical names! Technically, Tiger Lily was the product of an affair between Yates and the late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence, but after both of her biological parents died, Geldof adopted Tiger Lily so she could grow up with her half-sisters.

Oonagh

In naming her daughter, born in 2021, Amber Heard opted for a unique spelling of the Irish name Oona, which means lamb.

Buddy Dessert

“Hey, Buddy! Dessert?” Can’t you just hear kids forever asking that of Brie Bella’s son? The wrestler and her husband, fellow wrestler Daniel Bryan, welcomed son Buddy Dessert in 2020, making daughter Birdie a big sister.

Sno FilmOn Dot Com

Naming your newborn after your record label is taking a marketing plan to a whole new level, but that’s exactly what rapper Chief Keef did back in 2015 when his son was born a month before the release of his album Bang 3.

George Elizabeth

There’s something classic about a strong, old-fashioned name like George. Using it for your daughter, however, is definitely unique, which is what The Handmaid’s Tale actress Samira Wiley did when her daughter, George Elizabeth, was born in May 2021. Hey, that definitely goes along with the trend of giving boys’ names to girls!

Epik

When your mom’s given name is Princess Love, you need an “epic” name of your own. So that’s what Ray J and his wife named their second child, son Epik Ray (born in 2019).

Ode Mountain

We can’t help but wonder if lots of hiking is in the future of Ode Mountain, the son actress Jena Malone welcomed in 2016 with her then-partner, photographer Ethan DeLorenzo.

Nakano Oceana

A trip to Japan inspired Wilmer Valderrama and fiancée Amanda Pacheco to name their daughter (born in 2021) after female samurai warrior Takeko Nakano. The little girl’s middle name is in honor of her mom’s love of the sea.

Ever Imre, Onyx Solace, and Winter Mercy

Singer Alanis Morissette and her husband, Mario “Souleye” Treadway, are the parents of three adorable kids with uncommon names: Son Ever Imre (born 2010), daughter Onyx Solace (born 2016) and son Winter Mercy (born 2019). Ever Morissette-Treadway isn’t alone in his “at-any-time” name: Lea Michele and her husband, Zandy Reich, also chose the name for their 2-year-old son.

Summer Moon Honey

Born in 2021, the daughter of Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Shay and her husband, Brock Davies, shares a middle name—Honey—with her dad. On her podcast, the reality star explained that Summer’s name was inspired by Rachel Bilson’s character on The O.C., and because she was born on the “night of a full pink supermoon.” The couple then added Honey to the mix since it is Davies’ mother’s maiden name.

Osian Lark Elliot

When Milla Jovovich and Paul W.S. Anderson welcomed their daughter in 2020, they gave her a boy’s name. “Osian is a Welsh boy’s name and it’s pronounced O-shin,” the mom of three explained on Instagram, adding that the double middle names were a result of nobody in the family being able to agree on just one.

Chosen, Sovereign-Dior, Camidas and Cashmere

NFL quarterback Cam Newton is a father of seven. In addition to stepkids Shakira and Jaden, the athlete’s brood includes Chosen Sebastian (born 2015), Sovereign-Dior Cambella (2017), Camidas Swain (2018), Cashmere Saint (2019) and Caesar Lorenzo (born 2020).
