Looking for a 'celebrity' baby name

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

Alopogies, BornA, I perhaps took you instructions to take the piss too literally.

Or am I just a nominative predictive genius?

On a similar note to Jezebal I really really really like Lolita for a girl.

I think the late Paula Yates had the best taste in names.

My DS has a celebrity name - in that the only person who has named their kid this name for years is a rock star you either love or hate.

I think my daughter has a name in the category you're describing to be honest.. lol. I dislike all of the boys names you've listed though (if that earns me points back).
