Looking for a 'celebrity' baby name

[BornAgainDomesticGoddess]

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

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

Or am I just a nominative predictive genius?

I knew an Aldous-he was a complete knob

Phlox
Calypso

Busby
Woody

Bear for a boy
Persephone (Percy) for a girl

Halcyon
Delilah
Faraday

love oxbow lake

hate follicle

love Summer

I have a secret wish for an Araminta!!

Boys: Rex or Finch
Girls: Xanthe or Ariel

I think they are lovely names - would never have the courage

I think the best celebrity baby name ever is

Jermajesty Jackson

i mean its pure genisus

just like the late great Frank Zappa!

Moon Unit Zappa
Dweezil Zappa
Ahmet Emuukha Rodan Zappa
Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen Zappa

Oooh brilliant thread!

Boys:
Sycamore
Oak
Carreg (stone in Welsh)
Maredydd (which IS a boys' name in Welsh, but people would think Meredith, so I couldn't...)

Girls:
Sapphire
Emerald
Emrallt (Emerald in Welsh)
Velvet

Temple (for a girl). But remember Zowie Bowie changed his name to Duncan ; )

How about Tempest?

At a recent dance festival I took dd1 to there were girls named:

Milan-Mia
Daisie-Belle
Sienna-Eve
Onix
Araminta
Anastasia
Sapphire
Remi
Scarlett

Not my cup of tea but quite celebrity-ish!

Aurelia. Roman and romantic.

I like Faraday ... so what about Newton too?

Hamnett (great pedigree but I wouldn't be brave enough)
Shiraz (back to the Chardonnay theme)
Flint
Nectar
Flame
Devlin

my two girl s have 'normal' first names, but they have two middle names each which are more exotic, a good way of compromising maybe?

I feel like they're not saddled with outlandish names then - they can easily be dropped.

They are probably not unusual enough but:

Girls: Mimi, Jordana, Fleur

Boys: Vincent, Theo, Beau, Penri

Pilot Inspektor

Vajazzle
or turn it into a MN fav Vajazzle-Mae

Cherry

I adored Hera for a girl. Wife of Zeus.

Oh I LOVE Hera - wish I'd thought of that. Wife of Zeus AND Goddess of women (although known to be very jealous). Not enough reason to have another child though

Not a celebrity child, but I've always wanted to name a boy Zephaniah after Benjamin Zephaniah.

You can call your child whatever you like surely???
Why do you need to be a 'celebrity' to choose a ridiculous name ?
