When it comes to naming their children, celebrities often opt for unique and unusual monikers. From traditional names with a twist to completely unexpected choices, these celebrities have set their children apart with one-of-a-kind names.
Let's explore some of the most unique celebrity baby names and the inspiration behind them. From Apple to Blue Ivy, here's a look at the unusual and creative names that have made headlines in recent years.
10 Aire Webster
For nearly a year, Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott hid the name (and face) of their baby son which left fans as curious as they possibly could be. But in January 2023, the reality television star and makeup enthusiast finally posted a picture revealing her son's adorable face and unique name: Aire. Kardashian-Jenner fans were quick to ask about the pronunciation of Kylie Jenner's Son. "It's pronounced like air," Kylie Jenner explained on social media.
Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott definitely come up with unique names for their babies as Kylie's eldest child is girl named Stormi, another name with a twist. Fun Fact: Stormi and her baby brother have birthdays that are only one day apart!
9 Raddix
Although we may never see glimpses of Raddix Madden because her parents, Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden, want to keep her out of the limelight, she has one of the most special names out there. Cameron Diaz delivered her baby at age 47 in 2019 and although everyone questioned how she gave birth so much later in life, the actress had her baby and gifted her child with an insanely recognizable name.
8 Exa Dark Sideræl
In December 2021, Elon Musk and Grimes shocked the world when they announced the name of their son, Exa Dark Sideræl, who also goes by the nickname "Y." That's not the only interesting name they gave one of their children. Elon Musk and Grimes also named one of their kids X Æ A-12. Many users across social media platforms are still unsure to this day about how to pronounce the names of their children.
Although Elon Musk has had children with other women, he still stayed true to his choice of giving his children unconventional names. The Tesla CEO has a son named Nevada, and another son named Saxon.
7 Kulture Kiari Cephus
Cardi B and Offset welcomed their first child together in July 2019, naming her Kulture. Although the name is different and unique, it seems very fitting for the two rappers. It's also interesting to see how the two musicians switched up the spelling. Plus it's pretty wholesome that their baby girl's middle name is her father's birth name.
The couple love playing with the idea of non-traditional names. Cardi B and Offset had another child named Wave. While these names are very uncommon, they're quite recognizable.
6 Bronx Mowgli
During their brief marriage, Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz welcomed a baby boy named Bronx Mowgli into the world. If you're wondering if either of the two are from the Bronx, the answer would be no. Pete Wentz is from Illinois and Ashlee Simpson is from Texas. But no matter, the name is very cool and different.
Ashlee Simpson didn't stop giving her children unique names after Bronx.The star went on to have two more children with Evan Ross, naming them Jagger and Ziggy. Are these names possibly references to rock icons Mick Jagger and David Bowie? We believe so!
5 Apple And Moses
Before Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow divorced in 2016, they had two children: a boy named Moses and a girl named Apple. It could be possible that both of their names are derived from the bible. But wherever the inspiration of their names came from, Apple and Moses are definitely unforgettable.
4 North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm
While Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West were still together, the two A-listers brought four children into the world with quite unforgettable names: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. It seems like the entire Kardashian-Jenner clan gave their babies unconventional names. Khloe Kardashian named her first child True, while Rob Kardashian named his baby girl Dream.
3 Daisy Dove
Katy Perry and her fiancé, Orlando Bloom named their baby girl Daisy Dove Bloom. While Daisy is actually a common name, pairing it with Dove and Bloom definitely makes it more special.
2 Blue Ivy
In January 2012, Jay-Z and Beyoncé had their first child. The two musicians named their daughter Blue Ivy. Not only did that make a great name for their baby girl, but Beyoncé also started a fashion line with the same name. It's now one of the most recognizable names in pop culture. Beyoncé and Jay-Z would later have more kids and give them non-traditional names as well. The couple have a son named Sir and a daughter named Rumi.
1 Alabama
Blink 182 drummer, Travis Barker has a couple of children, however one of them has quite a unique name. Travis Barker named his daughter Alabama. While we're not sure what inspired the name, it is strange yet super cool.
Travis Barker's other child, Landon, appeared on Meet the Barkers, a reality television show following the punk drummer and his family and life as a famous musician. Alabama can be seen during the last season that aired in 2006. She was twelve years old and seemed spunky just like her dad.
