Looking for a 'celebrity' baby name

182 replies

OK, now if I'm honest, I would say that I genuinely like the unusual names that celebrities give their children. My faves are probably names like Bluebell, Blossom, Peaches, Honey, Tallulah Bell and Betty (for girls) and Romeo, Kingston, Cruz and Ever (for boys). Although I am not a celebrity, I would like a real 'celebrity' name for my next child. I wonder if I am alone in this, or if anybody else feels the same? I doubt that I would have the guts to do this, I will probably end up with something boring from the Top 100, but it's fun to imagine.

So tell me, what names would you go for if you had artistic licence to choose whatever name you liked?

By the way, please feel free to take the piss and post ridiculous names - I will probably like them Grin

I guess where we live people don't really get laughed at for their names.

Oddly enough, I know someone with every one of the names in your list Smile

Thanks LynetteScavo. I like Savannah and Valencia from that list. As I said earlier, I think I may have chosen one from the earlier suggestions, but it's still nice to ponder Smile

celeb baby names

I think the list is a bit ancient, though.

Fresh2death · 27/03/2011 15:29

Id say your the one who has turned nasty - fuck off is hardly a friendly comment!

enjoy being inspired by celebrity baby names, actually, how about celebrity itself? could be an inspirational name in its own right

Tsil, I just don't want a pedestrian name for my child. I want something special that not many people have. I used the term 'celebrity name' because everybody knows what that means. I don't want to copy anybody else, I just want to be inspired by them, I guess.

It was meant to be a light-hearted thread; there is always one who turns things nasty [hmmm]

Seems like you have just insulted me ... precious irony

Tsil · 27/03/2011 15:17

Do you want an unusual name or just the same name as a celebrity? Because if it's unusual you want then copying a celeb isn't the best idea.

Haha, why are you so certain as to my impulses?
I have explained my actions yet you believe you know better ... and you didnt seem to be bothered when someone suggested Merlot as a suitable name ...

You came on to insult me. You must have some self-esteem issues. Hope this has helped you feel better about yourself.

No, i came to respond to your question.
Surely thats why you posted a question? To gain others opinions?

It shouldnt matter to you what my opinion is anyway

Looking for a 'celebrity' baby name - explains enough

BornAgainDomesticGoddess · 27/03/2011 14:44

Care to explain that one, Fresh2death?

OP posts:
Fresh2death · 27/03/2011 14:27

How about shallow? its has quite a ring to it and following celebrity baby names it would be quite appropriate?

That's a shame about Eden. Anyway, I think I may have chosen a girl's name, from one of the suggestions on this thread, funnily enough.

If you want a name that is unusual, then take Eden off your list, as it's rather popular. It was ranked mid-100s in 2009, and although it could of course go either way, I wouldn't be surprised if last year it climbed further towards the Top 100.

Actually, I don't like Jools & Jamie Oliver's DC's names at all. They just don't flow. It's as though they've taken a list of their favourite names and decided to use them all. Also, most of the names used were ones used for other celebrity children. They've obviously got no imagination of their own.

Michael was a pretty famous person too!

Elizabeth, from one the biggest celebrities who passed this week

TidyDancer · 26/03/2011 23:01

Milla Jovovich's Ever is Ever Gabo Anderson. It's quite a sweet 'name' and I think definitely seems more feminine than masculine, perhaps because three quarters of it is 'Eve'?

Alwaysworthchecking · 26/03/2011 21:35

I just snorted at 'Oxbow Lake'. have to confess a secret liking for Apple. Thought I was the only one (besides the Paltrow-Martin's) but I see Mamma2boyz is keeping me company.

I don't think you can beat Jamie Oliver, what with Petal Blossom Rainbow. Good gracious! (Actually, my exclamation might make a good name...)
