20 Celebrity Baby Names That Leave Us Wondering WTF
Celebrities: they’re just like us! Except when it comes to naming babies. While lots of celebs pick completely normal and darling names, some celebrity baby names are seriously out there. And we sort of get it? When you’re famous, your kid isn’t likely to have a regular upbringing or life anyway. Might as well make their name, um, memorable and unique? These celebrity baby names will have you scratching your head and wondering WTF were they thinking.
1. Jagger Snow and Bronx Mowgli (Ashlee Simpson Ross)

It’s hard to figure out where the inspiration for these names came from, because there is a lot happening. Favorite city? The Jungle Book? Rock music? Who knows.
2. Petal Blossom Rainbow, Poppy Honey Rosie, River Rocket, Buddy Bear Maurice, and Daisy Boo Pamela (Jamie Oliver)

They’re all oddly adorable, in a way? It’s like they wanted nicknames and terms of endearment right there on the birth certificate.
3. Bluebell Madonna and Montague George Hector (Geri Halliwell)

Bluebell and Montague have an actual Spice Girl for a mama, so this all sort of makes sense!
4. Apple (Gwyneth Paltrow)

Apple is sort of the OG weird celebrity baby name. It’s actually a fairly normal name, in comparison with some of the others.
5. Ace Knute (Jessica Simpson)

Ace? Adorable. Knute? Is a polar bear.

A lovely ode to your child is naming them…Ode.
7. Rainbow Aurora and Forest Leonardo Antonio (Holly Madison)

Having watched Holly on The Girls Next Door, neither of these names is at all surprising.
8. North West (Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West)

We remember how everyone waited with baited breath for the first West baby’s name. And then they were like…eh?
9. Sno FilmOn Dot Com Cozart (Chief Keef, and the oddest of the celebrity baby names)
https://www.instagram.com/p/BYzvXKlloSV/?taken-by=chieffkeeffsossa
Rapper Chief Keef literally named his son this to promote his album 2 years ago. We just…we don’t know.

We really didn’t expect anything less from one half of the magic duo Penn and Teller. We hope Moxie wears a cape.
11. Tu Morrow (Rob Morrow)
https://www.instagram.com/p/BXkxhERh5qL/?taken-by=officialrobmorrow
First name Tu. Last name Morrow. It writes itself.
12. Birdie and Cricket (Busy Philipps)

Getting inspiration from nature is one thing…
13. Breeze Beretta (Levi Johnston)

Breeze is kinda cute. Naming your kid after a gun, not so much.
14. Kal-El (Nic Cage)
https://www.instagram.com/p/BY6wv58jpQf/?tagged=niccage
Naming your kid after a super hero is understandable. But the Krypton name of Superman? Really?

15. Pilot Inspektor (Jason Lee)

Maybe setting him up for a future occupation?
16. Audio Science (Shannyn Sossamon)
https://www.instagram.com/p/BUiUj7lFk1e/?taken-by=shansossamon
Yes, that’s the name of her child and not what she majored in in college.
17. Speck Wildhorse (John Mellencamp)
https://www.instagram.com/p/BYQ1fiWgmGx/?taken-by=johnmellencamp
Wildhorse isn’t even weird after reading some of the others. But Speck? Like dust?

18. Seargeoh (Sylvester Stallone)

Sometimes it’s not the name, but the spelling. Go ahead, sound it out. We’ll wait.
19. Dweezil, Moon Unit, and Diva Muffin (Frank Zappa and grandaddy of off-the-wall celebrity baby names)
https://www.instagram.com/p/BT9oFM3FkYV/?taken-by=zappa
No list of weird celebrity baby names is complete without the Zappa kids. So weird they become good again.
20. Fuschia (Sting)
https://www.instagram.com/p/BY-bMbcHCNY/?taken-by=theofficialsting
I see colors! Oh wait, that’s just Sting’s kid, never mind.
We can’t help but think these kids will all have kids named Anna and John and other benign names. What do you even DO when your name is Pilot? Besides be an actual pilot. Celebs certainly have their own way of doing things, bless their hearts. So did we hit all the weirdest celebrity baby names you’ve heard? Let us know in the comments!
