Celebrity Baby Names
Almost everyone is fascinated by celebrities, even if we pretend not to be! And celebrity babies are one of the hottest topics on the web. One reason celebrity babies are so popular – besides the celebrities who have them! – is the fact that some celebs choose really way-out, cutting-edge names for their kids. It's not a new phenomenon – it has been going on at least since Frank Zappa named two of his children Moon Unit and Dweezil in the late 1960s.
While no-one has done a definitive study, it's pretty clear that celebrity babies, as a group, tend to get more "creative" names than their peers. Perhaps it is only in the rarified atmosphere of Beverly Hills or Santa Monica that kids could even get through the school day with names like Bronx Mowgli, Pilot Inspektor, or Sparrow Midnight. Small wonder that adjectives used to describe celebrity baby names often include words like crazy, wacky, strange, stupid, funny, worst, and just plain bad!
The fact is though that we've been tracking celebrity baby names since 2006 (check out past years in our "related links" box), and any annual list of celebrity baby names would show that more often than not, celebrities usually give their babies fairly traditional names, and often serve as trend setters for beautiful names like Ava, Grace, Harlow, and so forth.
In addition to our year-by-year lists of celebrity baby names, we have added thousands more to our database, which is probably the largest of its kind on the internet. Try it out – just enter the name of your favorite celebrity into the search box, below. Whether you love them or hate them, celebrity baby names are a great source of inspiration!
