Unusual Celebrity Baby Names
23 July 2009It would seem that celebrities are looking to outdo each other when it comes to finding unusual baby names for their newborns. Gone are the days of traditional baby names; today’s celebrities are leading a revolution of wacky baby names that are probably personal to just themselves. Shiloh and Suri don’t sound as bad as they would have a few years back. However, some names are so weird and wacky that you really wonder what the parents were thinking when they chose the name. Hopefully, the celebrities have their heart in the right place when they make their choices. Or at least that is what we would like to believe. Most of them resort to unusual baby names to just seek attention and publicity that will probably revive a defunct career and help them reappear on the spotlight. Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin have named their baby Apple, while Ving Rhames has opted for Rainbow. Using common words and objects as baby names can be endearing and may not really feature in the ‘unusual baby names’ list. Julia Roberts’ Hazel has been blessed with a sunny name but twin brother Phinnaeus hasn’t been as lucky. There are some celebrities who end up with baby names that people would actually use to call their pets. Jamie Oliver’s Daisy Boo and Courtney Cox’s Coco feature on that list. Moving from unusual baby names to the truly strange ones now, Nicholas Cage’s son is named Kal-El. Other wacky ones include Eddie Murphy’s Zola Ivy, Kyra Sedgwick’s Sosie, and Arthur Ashe’s Camera. It is one thing to be wacky but yet another to be absolutely weird. Jason Lee & Beth Riesgraf chose Pilot Inspektor for their infant. Michael Hutchence & Paula Yates named their newborn Heavenly Hiraana Tiger Lily. Jermaine Jackson’s Jermajesty and Penn Jillette’s Moxie Crimefighter truly are out of this world. Rob Morrow’s daughter Tu had ended up with a name like Tu Morrow (tomorrow). Audio Science, Blue Angel, Poppy Honey, Jaz, Hopper, Banjo, and the list of unusual baby names that celebrities opt for goes on and on.
