The quirkiest celebrity baby names list

Blac and Rob welcomed their first child together on November 10th in LA. The duo opted to name their little girl Dream, which may seem like an odd choice but isn’t all that unusual when you compare it to the names that Rob’s big sisters Kim and Kourtney gave their children.

After remaining tight-lipped on the chosen baby name for their 5^th child for over two weeks, the Olivers have finally confirmed their bouncing baby boy has been given the moniker River Rocket. It’s not yet known if the name is particular significant, although some have speculated the bubba could be named after the River café which offered the celebrity chef his first big break. Little River Rocket joins siblings Daisy Boo, Petal Blossom, Poppy Honey and Buddy Bear in the unusual name gang. [Photo: Instagram/jamieoliver]

After finding themselves at the centre of frankly silly online suggestions they would name their newborn after a compass point, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West deemed that wasn’t such a bad idea, after all. North West, now three, has since been joined by baby bro, Saint. [Photo: Instagram/kimkardashian]

Ashlee Simpson already has a 7-year-old son named Bronx Mowgli, with former husband, Pete Wentz, so it made sense that the moniker she chose for her next baby with husband Evan Ross, would follow the same out-there path. Daughter, Jagger Snow, was born in 2015. [Photo: Instagram/ ashleesimpsonross]

Avatar star Sam Worthington’s baby name choice for his first child with wife Lara Bingle Worthington is worthy of a place in the unusual baby moniker list. In 2015, the couple named their baby boy Rocket Zot – Rocket because they liked the way it sounded and Zot was Lara’s late father’s nickname. Cute. Now Lara is pregnant with their second little one, we can’t wait to see what the go for next time round. [Photo: Getty]

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden picked something relatively ordinary when naming big sister Harlow Winter, but little brother Sparrow kind of drew the short name straw. [Photo: Instagram/nicolerichie]

Gwen Stefani and ex Gavin Rossdale didn’t disappoint when it came to naming their offspring. Ok, so first son, Kingston James McGregor, was pretty tame in the namestakes, but they ramped up the wacky with next son, Zuma Nesta Rock, and third boy, Apollo Bowie Flynn, which wasn’t actually a tribute to the late David Bowie, but the couple’s mothers’ maiden names.

Who knows what Jason Bateman and wife Amanda Anka were thinking when they picked this syrupy sweet baby name for daughter number two? She joins big sister Francesca Nora. [Photo: Getty]

The original out-there baby name. Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s created headlines everywhere when they named their first daughter after a fruit. In an interview with Oprah, Paltrow said she liked how it sounded “wholesome” and “clean.” Er, ok. Apple has since been joined by brother, Moses before the celebrity parents consciously uncoupled in 2014. [Photo: Instagram/gwynethpaltrow]

Apparently Silas was a big baby name hit in the 1800s, so who better to bring it back *groans* than Justin Timberlake and wife Jessica Biel. [Photo: Instagram/justintimberlake]

Lord of the Rings star Liv Tyler opted for a nautical theme when she welcomed a baby boy named Sailor, with David Beckham’s bestie Dave Gardner. [Photo: Instagram/misslivalittle]

Reese Witherspoon came over all sentimental when she named her third child with second husband Jim Toth Tennessee James after her home state. He joins a daughter Ava and son Deacon, her children from her previous marriage to Ryan Philippe. [Photo: Instagram/reesewitherspoon]

No unusual baby name list would be complete without a nod to Katie Price. Though she went down a relatively safe name path with eldest son, Harvey, her other four children were given much more bonkers names. Junior and Princess, with first husband Peter Andre, were quickly followed by Jett and Bunny with current hubby Kieran Hayler. [Photo: Instagram/officialkatieprice]

Busy Philipps and her husband Marc Silverstein turned to nature for inspo when it came to naming their two babies (both girls). After being name-shamed on social media the Cougar Town actress took to Twitter to offer a defence: “It’s weird people think my kids will be in therapy because of their names. Guys, my kids will be therapy for LOTS of reasons, I’m sure." Gotta love that! [Photo: Instagram/busyphilipps]

No this isn’t a no win no fee law firm, but Uma Thurman and Arpad Busson’s daughter’s actual name. Unable to decide on one name between them, the couple ended up with five. Doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue does it Uma? [Photo: Getty]

"I actually had the name on our list with Mason. Then with Penelope, I had it on the list but spelled R-A-I-N,” Kourtney Kardashian told People magazine after the birth of her third child. When she found at that Baby #3 was a boy, the reality TV star switched up the spelling to the more boy-ish R-E-I-G-N. [Photo: Instagram/kourtneykardash]

OK so it’s a small, plucky musical instrument, but it’s also Rachel Griffiths’ son’s actual name. Because, why not? [Photo: Getty]

Jumping on the boys names as girls names bandwagon, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis opted for the traditionally male Wyatt for their first born, a daughter. And why not? Wonder if they will follow the same gender-neutral pattern if their next baby is a boy? [Photo: Instagram/aplusk]

This cute couple opted to name their first born after a Disney Princess. The unusual name originates from the 1959 classic Sleeping Beauty, and also from the original Grimm Brothers fairytale. Briar Rose was the name given to Princess Aurora by the three fairies, to shelter her from Maleficent’s curse. It was also the original title of Sleeping Beauty. Sweet. [Photo: Getty]

Apparently Bingham is Matt’s mum Marilyn’s maiden name and also the name of Kurt Russell’s dad. Hawn is a nod to Kate’s mum, actress Goldie Hawn. Family references all round! [Photo: Instagram/katehudson]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles met Toy Story as the inspo for musician Tom Fletcher and wife Giovanna’s firstborn son. He’s since been joined by baby bro Buddy. [Photo: Instagram/tomfletcher]

Titan Jewell (Kelly Rowland and Timothy Witherspoon)

Mixing up the masculine, Titan, with the rather sweet sounding Jewell, Kelly Rowland has offered no explanation behind her baby name choice except that "The dad picked out the name. It has to do with family.” Fair dos. [Photo: Instagram/kellyrowland]

Ok Bodhi we can live with, but Ransom? Parents Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green went off-wall with their second son’s middle name.

My Name Is Earl actor Jason Lee obviously has high hopes for his son Pilot Inspektor. That’s the only explanation we can offer for this most unusual of monikers [Photo: Getty]

Though music’s power couple haven’t officially explained the meaning behind their chosen moniker, some have speculated that the inspo for Bey and Jay’s only child is a mashup of Jay Z’s breakthrough album, The Blueprint, and the roman numerals of the couple’s favourite number, 4 (IV = Ivy).
