Weird Celebrity Baby Names
When it comes to giving names to their kids, celebrities, especially those in the entertainment industry, really let their artistic inclination ran wild. Over the years some rather original names among the celebrity circle have appeared and I list a few here.
The following names are quite well-known that we almost forget they are rather unusual, even strange:
- Maddox
- Pax
- Zahara
- Shiloh
- Knox
Let’s face it. Angelina Jolie has a flair for naming her children. Only Vivienne, who was named after her mom, has a seemingly normal name.
David and Victoria Beckham, too, picked unusual names for their three boys.
- Brooklyn
- Romeo
- Cruz
Except perhaps for Romeo?
Nahla Ariela Aubry is quite a mouthful for a 1-year-old. Supposedly Nahla means “honeybee” in Arabic and Ariela “lion for God” in Hebrew. I don’t know Halle Berry’s reason for choosing the names. However, the name Nahla reminds me of the lioness in the film “The Lion King.”
Suri (Tom-Kat’s daughter), I find, is a cute name and much nicer than Princess Tiaamii (Jordan and Peter Andre’s daughter). Suri supposedly means “princess” and little Suri is just that.
- River
- Rain
- Summer
Combined with the last name Phoenix, these names really leave an impression. The parents were supposedly nature-inclined, thus explaining their choices.
They are in the same class of Forest Whitaker who named his kids
- Ocean
- Sonnet
- True
Now, when it comes to being original (and weird), I must say nobody can beat Bob Geldof and Paula Yates.
- Fifi Trixibelle
- Peaches Honeyblossom
- Little Pixie
A German article once referred to them as the poodle, the fruit, and the garden dwarf.
Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily is another daughter of Paula with Michael Hutchence.
It seems that musicians do have a way of naming their offsprings. The late Frank Zappa’s daughters were
- Moon Unit
- Dweezil
- Diva Muffin
Are they perhaps related to
- Diezel Ky
- Denim Cole
children of Toni Braxton and Keri Lewis?
Now, while some celebrities may have some overactive imagine, some are also accused of being simplistic and lacking some.
- Apple is Gwyneth Paltrow’s daughter.
- Sunday Rose (Nicole Kidman´s daughter) was referred to by a German tabloid as “what we had for lunch last weekend “(Sunday roast).
Perhaps celebrities and their offsprings can get away with weird names in the name of artistic license. Mere mortals like you and me however may not. There was a study showing that boys with unpopular names were “more likely to become criminals”. Poor little Adolf Hitler and his siblings.

i am an adoptive mom. i don’t introduce my child as my adopted child. Maddox SHOULD NOT be introduced as adopted. The list should look the same whether the child is adopted or a birth child.
