150+ Weird Celebrity Baby Names

After daughters named Gravity Blue and Rumble Honey, we had a lot of expectations for the name of Lucky Blue Smith's third child. Luckily, he didn't disappoint when he named his son Slim Easy in 2022. The full name has been criticized, with commenters saying it sounds like a diuretic tea or diet pill. And we agree that the combination is too much. But in isolation, Easy has potential. With a carefree aura and accessible sound, Easy may be a celebrity baby name we grow to love.

Model Jessica Hart brought this word name into the spotlight in 2022, when she chose it for her newborn son — brother to Baby-Rae. Glorious has historically only been used as a girl name, but it works equally well on boys.

When actress Shannyn Sossamon dubbed her newborn Audio Science, it sent out some definite shock waves. We don't recommend Audio or Video for even the most intrepid baby namer.

A sort of Maisie-Hazel hybrid, likely influenced by the hit TV show The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Actress Beverley Mitchell chose it for her daughter.

Fierce, bold, and very evocative, Warrior is not a name for the faint of heart. It's the latest in a slew of Magic Names, chosen for their incantatory power, added to the baby name lexicon. Parents may hope a name like Warrior will protect their child from some of the hardships of the world.

Heiress has been recorded as a baby name since 2004, but the male version, Heir, took longer to catch up. It debuted in 2019 with just five uses but appears to be rising quickly. One factor that will likely help its case: star power. Nick Cannon named one of his twin sons, born in 2021, Zillion Heir (that's right, Zillionaire), drawing attention to this new addition to the class of money-related names. In 2022, it was chosen by parents for 13 baby boys.

Olympic athlete Usain Bolt introduced this unusual and electric nature name to the lexicon when he chose it for his daughter's middle name: Olympia Lightning Bolt. Now there's a name with layers of meaning!

Malibu, the name of a California beach city, evokes sunshine, surfing, and glamour. With its fashionable "oo" sound — as seen in names like Luna and Ruby — Malibu is an unexplored place name worth considering.

Rekker comes to us thanks to actor Cam Gigandet, who gave his son this phonetic spelling of badass word name Wrecker. Use at your own peril.

Moroccan is a name newly minted by Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon for their newborn twin son. Meaning a person who lives in Morocco, Moroccan was used by the couple as a nod to the Moroccan Room in Carey's Manhattan apartment, where Cannon proposed to the singer. Place-name Morocco is another choice for either sex, as is music name Maraca.

This term of endearment has a longer history as a given name than you might expect. Sweetie first appeared on the charts in 1894 and was given to a peak total of 20 baby girls in 1916. But the most likely reason you're on this page — YouTube stars Rydel and Capron Funk named their daughter Sweetie Mary Funk in 2022, a sister for Super. As with her older brother's name, we don't expect Sweetie's name to inspire a generation of others. A couple of copycats, maybe.

A creative spelling variation of Drew. Draya Michelle And Orlando Scandrick used it for their son in 2016.

Grace and Adam Rodriguez created the faux-place name Bridgemont for their son in 2020. According to Adam, they loved the symbolism of a bridge as a connecting element and added -mont for familial significance. Adam's father's middle name is Montalvo, his own father's surname prior to his adoption.

Aalam is surely the first name in many books, introduced to the US by DJ Khaled, who chose it for his son in 2020.

This soulful musical name was introduced to the lexicon by Glee actor Darren Criss, who named his daughter Bluesy Belle in 2022. It's a saucy choice that owes something to Beyoncé's Blue, and something to the retro nickname Susie. For the daughter of a musician, Bluesy is a rare yet accessible name.

Woody Allen introduced us to the name Zelig as the ever-morphing title character of his 1983 film. Zelig does have an upbeat meaning, and nickname Zelie makes it accessible for a girl, though it's an undeniably quirky choice for either gender.

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.

Nick Cannon use this, well, powerful name for his daughter, born in 2020. It joins the ranks of other strong adjective baby names, such as Noble, Epic, Sovereign, and Brave.

A surname name that will oft be confused for Sultan. Jermaine Jackson Ii And Asa Soltan Rahmati named their son Soltan in 2017.

Whether you consider it a word name or a spelling variation of Armie, this name maintains its meaning. Jill Wagner used it for her daughter in 2020.
