Rocker and Rapper Baby Names

God'iss Love is the full name of the daughter of R & B singer Lil' Mo, who decided to move beyond Trinity and Genesis and turn her child's name into a statement. Her sister is called Heaven.

Not only did rocker John Mellencamp name his son Speck, but he appended the middle name Wildhorse to it.

This simple but alluring name — some might associate it with the Kama Sutra — was chosen by heavy metal rocker Sammy Hagar for his daughter.

Makes hot name Finley kind of Phyllis-like -- which is not a good thing.

Epik is a new word name used by Princess Love and Ray J for their baby boy. Fifteen baby boys were named Epic, the usual spelling of the word, last year, so maybe Epik is to Epic as Erik is to Eric. While Epic in the classic sense refers to a long narrative poem, today it's more likely a slang word used in place of grand or amazing.

Rapper M.I.A. announced this as her newborn son's name, which may or may not be a joke.

Arabic name with ties to ancient royalty. Rapper Meek Mill gave this name to his oldest son.

Funky, boyish, old-style combo name chosen for their daughter by hip couple Donna D'Ericco and Nikki Sixx.

Though rapper Chingy's (real name: Howard) Alzea is a boy, this name seems more appropriate for girls.

Frank is cool again. Frankie is cute. But frankly, Frankito is a couple of diminutives too many.

Creative spelling of Cadence notably used by T-Pain for his son in 2009.

Chosen by one musician, Todd Rundgren, for his son, but unlikely to be emulated by others.

One of the jauntiest o' the O' names, the birth name of actor/ rapper Ice Cube.

In this era of Royalty, Reign, and Sir, why not Heiress? It is the name given by Clifford "T.I." And Tameka "Tiny" Harris to their daughter in 2016.
