Blue Ivy Carter

Beyonce baby name, strange baby names, strangest, weirdest, unusual, celebrity, Blue Ivy Carter, blue ivy carter

Beyoncé Knowles and her husband Jay-Z welcomed a baby girl into the world on Sunday 8 January 2011.

\r\n

Kelly Rowland origiannly spilt the beans about the baby\'s gender, but it was Gwyneth Paltrow who tweeted to confirm that the baby\'s name was Blue Ivy Carter.

\r\n

\"Welcome to the world Blue! We love you already,\" tweeted Paltrow.

\r\n

We like, but we\'d much rather it was Ivy Blue Carter, and until Paltrow ended speculation rumour was that the baby\'s name was actually the latter. Thank goodness for the social networking site.

Bingham Bellamy

Bing Bellamy, Kate Hudson, strangest celebrity baby names, Matt Bellamy bingham bellamy

Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy appear to have named their son Bing after hearing a microwave.

\r\n\r\n

His birth certificate reads Bingham Hawn Bellamy, and Matt explained exactly where they\'d sprung his first name from:\r\n\r\n\"So happy! Just had a baby boy, Bingham \'Bing\' Hawn Bellamy.\r\n\r\n\"Mum was a warrior, Bing popped out after 4.5 hours of intense pushing!\r\n\r\n\"For those wondering, Bingham is my mum\'s maiden name.\r\n\r\n\"Bing Russell was also Kurt [Russell\'s] dad. Family connections all around!\"

\r\n\r\n

Take a look at Kate Hudson\'s beauty bag.

Victoria Beckham - Harper Seven

strange celebrity baby names, victoria beckham, harper seven, victoria beckham names child harper seven pictured on the street

Victoria Beckham was so chuffed to welcome a baby girl into the world on July 10 2011 that she apparently lost her senses. The mum-of-four named her new-born daughter Harper Seven. The Seven references David\'s football t-shirt number, while the Harper we\'re not so sure about. We\'re hoping it\'s Harper from To Kill a Mockingbird, but it could be a reference to Harper\'s Bazaar.

Jason Lee -- Pilot Inspektor

celebrity gossip,celebrity,celebrity baby,Jason Lee,Pilot Inspektor jason lee and son pilot inspektor My Name Is Earl star and celebrity Scientologist Jason Lee is a funny guy. Or so we thought. Now we\'re wondering if he\'s alright in the head. Apparently he was inspired to call his son, Pilot Inspektor, now four, by a song by the US group Grandaddy which features the lyrics \'He\'s Simple, He\'s Dumb, He\'s the Pilot.\' We don\'t even know where to start with what\'s oh-so-wrong about that. And that still doesn\'t explain Inspektor. Poor, poor kid. Staying on the aviation theme, special mention goes to fellow Scientologist John Travolta who named his son Jett and wanted to name his second kid Qantas, but that was vetoed by his wife Kelly Preston - thank God.

Nicolas Cage -- Kal-el

celebrity gossip,celebrity,celebrity baby,Nicolas Cage,Kal-el nicolas cage Hollywood megastar Nicolas Cage takes his passions seriously. He\'s a massive Elvis fan - and he married Elvis\'s only daughter Lisa-Marie Presley in 2002 (the marriage only lasted three months). Nic\'s also a big comic book fan, particularly Superman. He was even going to play Superman in a movie directed by Tim Burton, but the project never came to fruition. So what\'s the next best thing to playing Superman? Call your son Kal-el - that\'s Superman\'s birthname on the planet Krypton. The kid\'s going to need superpowers to deal with the ribbings he\'s going to get when he goes to school.

Jordan -- Princess Tiáamii

celebrity gossip,celebrity,celebrity baby,jordan,katie price,princess tiaamii jordan katie price and princess tiaamii Jordan seems to be a bit confused about her own name - is it Jordan or Katie Price - so we guess it must have been hard for her to decide on names for her kids. Her first child is called Harvey. OK. Second child? Junior. Hmmm. Third child? Princess Tiaamii. Perhaps she asked the other two kids to choose a name and this is what they came up with. And can you imagine what it was like when Katie and hubby Peter Andre went to register the name? \"Was that two Ms?\" \"No, two As, one M, two Is.\" \"Er, right.\"

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin -- Apple

celebrity gossip,celebrity,celebrity baby,Gwyneth Paltrow,Chris Martin,Apple gwyneth paltrow and daughter apple Iron Man star Gwyneth explained her daughter\'s name on the Oprah Winfrey show in 2004. \"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 then I just thought perfect and then she was born and it became like an international outrage, I mean which I found surprising because there are people named Rose or Lily or Ivy or June, or you know lots of pretty nouns.\" We wouldn\'t say it became an \"international outrage\" Gwyneth, we\'d just say quite a few people thought you were a bit daft.

Sir Bob Geldof and Paula Yates -- Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches, Pixie and Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily

celebrity gossip,celebrity,celebrity baby,Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches, Pixie,Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily sir bob geldof and daughter pixie Sir Bob Geldof - how can someone who\'s done so much good in the world commit such atrocities as lumbering his daughters with these names? OK, he didn\'t have anything to do with Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily, that was the late Paula Yates and Michael Hutchence. But Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches and Pixie? When these kids fill out official forms to people just laugh? We really do feel sorry for them.

Angelina Jolie -- Maddox, Pax Thien, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne, Knox

celebrity gossip,celebrity,celebrity baby,Angelina Jolie,Maddox,Pax Thien,Zahara,Shiloh,Vivienne,Knox angelina jolie brad pitt and their children When you\'re the child of two of the biggest stars in the world, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, you probably just want a simple name like James or Sarah or John - something that will allow you to blend into the background if you choose to. Pax Thien is not such a name. Neither is Maddox. They must stick out like a sore thumb when other kids shout their names in the playground.

Rob Morrow - Tu Morrow

celebrity gossip,celebrity,celebrity baby,Rob Morrow,Tu Morrow rob morrow with wife and daughter tu A name that\'s a pun. Oh dear. Imagine Numb3rs star Rob Morrow and his partner scratching their heads wondering about baby names. \"Hey, let\'s call her Tu. You know, like Tu Morrow. Tomorrow? Get it?\" Either that, or they didn\'t realise until after they named her that it was a pun - and that\'s just sad. Other pun classics include Robin Banks, Ben Dover and Richard Head. The runner-up award for ‘play on words names\' goes to David Duchovny and Tea Leoni who named their son Kyd - he\'s a kid and he\'s called Kyd. Cool!

Geri Halliwell -- Bluebell Madonna

celebrity gossip,celebrity,celebrity baby,Geri Halliwell,Bluebell Madonna geri halliwell and daughter bluebell madonna You can just about get away with the name Bluebell... just. After all, there are lots of Daisys and Roses and Lilys around. However, if like Geri, you pair it with the surname Halliwell, you\'re asking for trouble. Bluebell Halliwell. Mind you, Geri had to keep up with fellow Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, who named her sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz. And Mel B - her girls are called Phoenix and Angel.

Jermaine Jackson -- Jermajesty

celebrity gossip,celebrity,celebrity baby,Jermaine Jackson,Jermajesty jermaine jackson and his son jermajesty He\'s the brother of Michael, and it appears he also carries the wacko gene. Jermaine has nine children; Jermaine Jr, Autumn, Dawn, Jeremy, Jaime, Jasmine, Jourdyn, Donte, Jaffar and... drumroll... Jermajesty! Completely bonkers. Wacko Jacko named his three chidren Michael Joseph, Paris Michael Katherine and Prince Michael Jackson II. Yes that\'s Prince Michael Jackson II: Bigger, faster, stronger!

Shannyn Sossamon -- Audio Science

celebrity gossip,celebrity,celebrity baby,Shannyn Sossamon,Audio Science shannyn sossamon

We can\'t possibly imagine what would possess A Knight\'s Tale star Shannyn Sossamon to call her son Audio Science. Perhaps it was to guarantee her a top 10 spot on lists like this forever!
