The 33 Craziest Celebrity Children’s Names
Banjo, Bronx and Bear Blue – some of the celebrity children’s first names sound like a bad PR gimmick. We present you the 33 craziest children’s names of prominent offspring.
33. Apple (Gwyneth Paltrow & Chris Martin)
“Apples are so sweet and healthy – just perfect!” This is how Mama Gwyneth justified the choice of name for her little daughter. Accordingly, she could have named the child pineapple, banana or grape.
32. North (Kim Kardashian & Kanye West)
Kim Kardashian may have wanted to show off her sense of humor when naming her daughter. It remains to be seen whether the Kleine North West will also show where to go in everyday life.
31. Banjo (Rachel Griffiths, actress)
Why you name your child after a musical instrument will probably remain a mystery forever. In any case, there are no limits for possible siblings when it comes to naming: viola, double bass … didgeridoo?
30. Delphine Malou (Sarah Connor)
Of course, if you give yourself the stage name Sarah Connor, you cannot name your child Susanne or Andrea. In any case, the sound of this name makes us want to vacation by the sea.
29. Diezel Ky, Denim Cole (Toni Braxton)
Toni Braxton apparently found the necessary inspiration for the names of her two sons in the jeans shop.
28. Ptolemy John Williams (Gretchen Mol, actress)
Gretchen Mol says she named her child after the Greek astronomer Claudius Ptolemy. It remains to be seen whether son Ptolemy will follow the same career path.
27. Dandelion (Keith Richards)
If you had to introduce yourself to all new acquaintances in Germany as “Pusteblume” or “Löwenzahn”, you would probably change your name as well. So did Dandelion – today her name is Angela.
26. Mirabella Bunny (Bryan Adams)
Did the parents choose the middle name “Bunny” because of their daughter’s birthday on Good Friday? We do not know it. The little bunny Mirabella will certainly be happy about her sonorous name as an adult.
25. Zuma Nesta Rock, Kingston James McGregor, Apollo Bowie Flynn (Gwen Stefani & Gavin Rossdale)
Gwen Stefani named two of her sons after their favorite places. Zuma is a beach in Malibu, while Kingston is a Jamaican town and the home of Gwen’s hero, Bob Marley. As for Apollo Bowie Flynn, it remains to be seen if he will live up to his name and pursue a career in space travel.
24. Maddox Chivan, Pax Thien, Zahara Marley, Shiloh Nouvel, Knox Leon, Vivienne Marcheline (Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie)
Who gives their kids crazy names? Brad and Angelina! With all the wonderful name combinations, it’s hard to decide which one to find the most terrifying.
23. Bear Blue (Alicia Silverstone)
Whether “blue bear” is a desirable first name for a son is questionable. In any case, nothing stands in the way of a career as the mascot of a children’s program with this name.
22. Egypt Daoud Dean (Alicia Keys)
It is not known whether Alicia Keys was inspired by the place of conception when choosing her name. For us, that would be the only possible explanation for this child’s name.
21. Princess Tiaamii (Katie Price)
Katie Price likes it unusual. This is also shown by the name of her little princess Tiaamii. Simple vowels didn’t seem fancy enough: we wish Princess Tiaamii happy spelling!
20. Bronx Mowgli (Ashlee Simpson)
It’s not difficult to guess which film Ashlee Simpson likes to watch privately. Right! She named her son after the main character in The Jungle Book. One can only hope that she doesn’t let wolves raise the little one too.
19. Mo Vito, Don Hugo (Franziska von Almsick)
No, not Mojito – Mo Vito! Mama Franzi also seems to have chosen the name of the big brother based on a hip drink: Don Hugo!
18. Rocket Valentin, Racer Maximiliano, Rebel Antonio, Rogue Joaquin, Rhiannon Elizabeth (Robert Rodriguez)
These kids have true Hollywood names. While Rebel Antonio has acted in smaller films, the rest of the family stays out of the spotlight.
17. Kal-El (Nicholas Cage)
Kal-El – don’t tell you anything? This is Superman’s real name, which he goes by on his home planet of Krypton. For Nicholas Cage, the name must apparently be out of this world.
16. Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily (Paula Yates, presenter)
After her marriage to Bob Geldof, Paula Yates had another daughter. The names of the first children were apparently not unusual enough (see below), which is why she really let off steam with little Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily.
15. Elijah Bob Patricius Guggi Quincy (U2 frontman Bono)
His son’s first name is arguably the biggest artistic blunder U2 frontman Bono has ever made. Paul David Hewson’s dad changed his own name to Bono Vox. And he probably didn’t want to deprive his offspring of the advantages of a unique piece either.
14. Nakoa Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha (Lisa Bonet, actress)
Admittedly, the name sounds a bit strange at first. But if you consider that Nakoa Wolf’s sister is called Lola Iolani and the mother has now had herself renamed Lilakoi Moon, the naming is quite consistent again.
13. Rosalind Arusha Arkadina Altalune Florence (Uma Thurman)
This poor child will probably need XXL business cards later. Uma Thurman obviously finds the extravagant first name too long and simply calls the little one “Luna” in everyday life.
12. Sparrow James Midnight, Harlow Winter Kate (Nicole Richie & Joel Madden)
Nicole Richie and Joel Madden also obviously like it unusual. The German equivalent of her son’s name would probably be “Spatz Jakob midnight”.
11. Audio Science Clayton (Shannyn Sossamon, actress and musician)
Shannyn Sossamon herself says she wanted a word for her son and not a typical name. Afraid that “Science” alone would be shortened to “Sci” and then sound like Simon, she searched a dictionary and settled on “Audio” as the first name.
10. Sage Moonblood (Silvester Stallone)
Sage Moonblood sounds like the ingredients for a magic potion, but it’s not an appropriate name for a child. In any case, little Sage was punished with this name until the end of his life.
9. Satchel (Woddy Allen)
Satchel Allen – doesn’t sound particularly unusual at first. However, considering that Satchel means “school bag” in German, this name definitely deserves a spot in the top 10 crazy celebrity kids names.
8. Jermajesty (Jermaine Jackson)
Jermajesty Jackson! You have to let this name melt in your mouth. But you have to give Papa Jermaine one thing – he remains true to his lineage: Some of his other children are named Jeremy Maldonado Jackson, Jourdynn Michael Jackson and Jaafar Jackson.
7. Poppy Honey Rosie, Daisy Boo Pamela, Petal Blossom Rainbow, Buddy Bear Maurice (Jules & Jamie Oliver)
Star chef Jamie Oliver apparently likes it sweet. We think the names would be more for cuddly toys or cute cocktails. It remains to be seen whether his children will be happy with it in the future.
6. Bacon Wildhorse (John Mellencamp, singer)
Yeehaa! We don’t know whether the name of John Mellencamp’s son is intended to refer to his unbridled temperament. But one thing is certain: “Spritzer Wildpferd” is a case in itself!
5. Pilot Inspector (Jason Lee)
Sitcom star Jason Lee took inspiration from a rock song for his son’s naming. In the future, the little pilot inspector will certainly have a lot of fun explaining that “pilot” is not his job, but his first name.
4. Zowie (David Bowie)
“Hello, I’m Zowie. Zowie Bowie!” The fact that Zowie Bowie later renamed himself Joey Bowie doesn’t make things much better. Zowie “Joey” Bowie now uses the name Duncan Jones.
3. Fifi Trixibelle, Pixie Frou-Frou, Peaches Honeyblossom (Bob Geldof & Paula Yates)
Fifi and Pixie are more cute little dog names in our opinion. In any case, Bob Geldof shouldn’t be surprised when he calls his daughters and two poodles come running along. Peaches Honeyblossom, who has sadly passed away in the meantime, was also blessed with an extraordinary name.
2. Moxie CrimeFighter (Penn Jillette, comedian and musician)
When their daughter was born, the parents explained: “We chose this middle name so that if she ever gets stopped for speeding, she can give a good explanation. ‘But officer, we’re playing for the same team. My middle name is Crime Fighter!’” Luckily, she has a first name, Moxie (which means “brave”), which can help her pull this off.
1. Moon Unit, Dweezil, Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen, Ahmet Emuukha Rodan (Frank Zappa)
Frank Zappa really shoots the bird! However, one would not have expected anything else from him. In any case, daughter Moon Unit (“Moon Unit”) shouldn’t be surprised if NASA rings her bell soon.
