The 20 Most Bizarre Celebrity Baby Names
|
#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." That's very inspirational, and we do hope his daughter is inspired by the ocean to become expansive, rather than becoming huge, salty and smelling of fish. #9.
Prince Michael II/Blanket
Child Of: Michael Jackson You can really chart Michael Jackson's journey into Crazytown with the naming of his children. When his first kid was produced somehow in 1997, he gave him the pretentious but not-quite-insane name Prince Michael Jackson. In 2002, another boy comes along and Michael, completely out of name ideas, calls him Prince Michael II. You'd expect his nickname to be "The Revenge," but instead Michael started calling him "Blanket." It's such a great example of how a completely innocent word, given the right set of circumstances, can be nightmarishly disturbing. #8.
Rocket Rodriguez
Child Of: Robert Rodriguez But you might say, "Cracked, Rocket is such an awesome name!" OK, but you've got to try to imagine this kid having a life outside of porn industry. After all, imagine you're about to be put under on the operating table, and the nurse leans over and tells you your heart surgery is going to be performed by Rocket Rodriguez. OK, that would actually be pretty awesome. But seriously, imagine if the kid ever wanted to run for President ... wait, no, still awesome. OK, we may have to reconsider this one. 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) Not one, but two children of U2 band members making the list! Coincidence? We think not! It's telling that Edge could so easily have just left it at "Angel" and given the kid a perfectly normal name. Nope, he's The Edge and dammit, it's important the kid have a weird name that's difficult to explain, and reminds people of those stunt fighter pilots. #6.
Audio Science
Child Of: Actress Shannyn Sossamon It's true that Shannyn Sossamon just barely qualifies as a celebrity, but she forces her way onto this list with this exceptionally bizarre name. We learn with this entry that the only thing sadder than a pretentious baby name is a failed attempt at a pretentious baby name that ends up sounding like the name of a class at a local community college. #4 & 5.
Moon Unit and Diva Thin Muffin
Children Of: Frank Zappa We've piled all of Frank Zappa's ridiculous kid names into one entry, rather than let him dominate half the list (He named his other kids Dweezil and Ahmet). He was a funny guy, rest his soul, but as with Jason Lee earlier it's really not cool to saddle your kid with a goofy name just so you can chuckle when you see the birth certificate. #3.
Moxie Crimefighter
Child Of: Penn Jillette Apparently, Jillette's wife had no middle name, and their theory was that you never use the middle name anyway so why not have some fun with it. This does not explain the "Moxie" part. #2.
Tu Morrow
Child Of: Rob Morrow (from the TV show Numb3rs) Now, we've just about reached the lowest of the low. Below the wacky joke names, and the pretentious hippie names, we have the pun names. Tu Morrow. We've heard tales of these people; the ones named "Mary Christmas" and "Candy Barr" and "Ruby Cox." It's not only the worst kind of name, it's the worst kind of humor. "Tu Morrow?" That's not one of those things that starts out funny and then wears out its welcome with time; that stops being funny before you say it. It doesn't get any worse than this. #1.
Jermajesty
Child Of: Jermaine Jackson We stand corrected. If you liked this article, check out The Top 10 Secret Celebrity Scientologists . |

My boyfriend's sister went to school with a guy named Benjamin Dover. He went by Ben. And I once met a guy who was named Ben There. My mom went to school with a guy named Fairy. f**k, people are cruel to their kids.
My old chemistry teacher called her car Maddox...
Pun names are not only seriously stupid, but they can ruin peoples childhood - a mate of mine was called Carna Ford and, as soon as she was old enough, change it to escape any future jokes. Her family still call her Carna, though, which I find hilarious.
bob geldof's two other children are named peaches and pixie.
which.. isn't as bad as fifi trixibelle. but still pretty uncommon.
I'm thinking Memphis Eve was conceived on an evening in Memphis, TN. What a way for your parents to scar you for life, to make your name a reminder of how you were conceived and that yes, your parents do f**k.
f**k this name s**t. People barely sound human anymore. They're just products.
All my children, male or female, are going to be named Elizabeth. It's the best name ever.
We'll call the boys Eli, Zab, or Eth, or if we only have one, he'll be Eli Zabeth.
Crazy list! :D
But seriously, I don't find anything wrong with Ocean, Maddox, Destry, or Apple. I think barring Maddox, the other three are beautiful names.
sorry, i adore michael, but it's true... prince michael was fine but prince michael II?? my younger sister also shares a first name with me (half-sister, not raised together) and, honestly, it always bothered me. my biological dad wasn't even involved in my life and i only knew about my sister because my mom told me, but it was upsetting nonetheless. so, giving his other son the same name as his first always troubled me. (he could have still given him the name "michael" somewhere, just mix it up a bit).
leave the celebrities alone, i know just normal people that name their kids weirder things than that. and michael jacksons kids dont have weird names, yes it may be strange they all have michael in their name. but so what? its something they share with their dad, who really cares.
and may i ask.. what is wrong with the name maddox?
god i have a cousin called ale and his sisters name is porshe, for godness sake. i think they are stranger than alot of the names on this list
if apple just added an i to her last name sho could be apple martini. BAAHAHAHAHAH
Why do celebrities do this? Do they want their kids to commit matricide?
Nothing wrong with Apple. I've got a cousin with that name. It's cute. And delicious in pie.
I just found out I'm having a baby boy and I'm naming him Memphis Jackson, thanks Bono for having the same taste. No one down under likes it.
I know a lady who named her child "DonPariiauna" after Dom Perignon [wine] . . now the girl just goes by Pariiauna. . =]
Compared to the rest of these names... Apple hardly seems weird in comparison.
You guys forgot one of Kimbo Slice's sons...Kevlar
How is Everly Bear Kiedis (SON of Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis) not on this list?
Obviously, Steven Speilberg is a movie fan.
There was an old western called "Destry Rides Again" I think Mae West was in it. or maybe Greta Garbo; well....somebody was in it!
I absolutely think Moxie Crimefighter deserves to be on an awesome baby name list
Audio Science is an awesome name, Cracked. Not even gonna lie.

Michael actually does NOT have 2 children named Prince. Only one. The two referenced in this article? His oldest son's actual name is Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr. His youngest son is Prince Michael Jackson. Given all three of his children have Michael as a part of their full names, only one's FIRST name is Michael. The kids were the ones, themselves, that jokingly started calling the two sons Prince; not their father. Even MJ fans believe both boys are named Prince. Common misconception.
