Bizarre Baby Names

15 01 2008

Cracked.com made a list of 20 of the most bizarre celebrity baby names. The way they put it is the celebrity doesn't get enough attention so they name their kids weird names so they can stand out. Interesting concept? Check out the names below:

#20.  Kal-El

Child of: Nicolas Cage

Fun Fact No. 1: Nic Cage likes comics.
Fun Fact No. 2: Nic changed his last name from Coppola to Cage in honor of Marvel character Luke Cage.
Fun Fact No. 3: He named his kid Kal-El after Superman.

#19. Pilot Inspektor

Child of:  Jason Lee

Why "Pilot?" Because he heard a song by the band Grandaddy(called "He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's the Pilot").

#18.  Fifi Trixibelle

Child of: Bob Geldof and Paula Yates

The Irish singer and songwriter Geldof named his daughter Fifi after his aunt, and his wife was fascinated with the lifestyles of southern belles, hence the last part.

#17.  Apple

Child of: Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin

Gwyneth explained the name on an episode of Oprah back in August of 2004. Her exact words were:

"Right, well, um, basically it was because when we were first pregnant, her daddy said, if it's, basically one day he just said if it's a girl I think her name should be Apple. And I just, it sounded so sweet, and it conjures such a lovely picture for me, you know apples are so sweet and they're wholesome, and it's biblical and it's just, they're so, and I just thought it sounded so lovely and …"

#16.  Coco

Child of: Courteney Cox and David Arquette

According to Wikipedia, they were originally going to name the baby Courteney Cox Arquette, but this went against David's Jewish traditions, so they named it Coco after a nickname Courteney used to have.

#15.  Kyd

Child of: David Duchovny and Tea Leoni

#14.  Sage Moonblood

Child of: Sylvester Stallone

Moonblood is Sage's middle name.

#13.  Destry

Child of: Steven Spielberg

Some old-school GI Joe fans have implied that Destry is merely the feminine version of Destro.

#12. Maddox

Child of: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt

#11.  Memphis Eve

Child of: Bono

#10.  Ocean

Child of:  Forest Whitaker

The last King of Scotland actually did explain why he named his son Ocean. His words:

"I want those names to be their destiny, for my daughter to be honest and my son to be expansive. I try to be like a forest, revitalizing and constantly growing."

#9. Prince Michael II/Blanket

Child of: Michael Jackson

Michael started calling him "Blanket" for a nickname.

#8.  Rocket Rodriguez

Child of: Robert Rodriguez

Interesting Tidbit: Rocket has four younger siblings: Racer, Rebel, Rogue and Rhiannon. Yeah, Rob has a thing for alliteration.

#7.  Blue Angel

Child of: The Edge (From U2)

 
#6.  Audio Science

Child of: Actress Shannyn Sossamon

#4 & 5. Moon Unit and Diva Thin Muffin

Children of: Frank Zappa

He named his other kids Dweezil and Ahmet.

#3.  Moxie Crimefighter

Child of: Penn Jillette

#2.  Tu Morrow

Child of: Rob Morrow (from the TV show Numb3rs)

 

#1.  Jermajesty

Child of: Jermaine Jackson

As a note to parents-to-be: Everyone wants a unique name for their child. Please remember that your baby has to grow up and live with that name.
