If you were a celebrity

And could get away with it, what would you name your children?

Let’s say i have four children and i am a celebrity. I would name my them :

Honeydew [name]Rosalinda[/name] Seastorm
[name]Autumn[/name] [name]Calista[/name] Raindaughter
[name]Rex[/name] Lupin Legacy
[name]Pax[/name] [name]Lux[/name] Guardian

The two first obviously beeing girls and the other two being boys :slight_smile:

I would probably pick the more adventurous “pretentious” names I like. (Note: I would probably use them anyway).

[name]Susanna[/name]
[name]Aveline[/name]
[name]Cordelia[/name]
[name]Marius[/name]
[name]Dimitri[/name]
[name]Alistair[/name]

I’d just use the same names I like now, lol. If I were a celebrity I’d rather the press praised my decision to take the time to find unusual/obscure/foreign real names rather than lambasting me for whipping something out of thin air.

[name]Artemis[/name], [name]Athena[/name], [name]Lux[/name], [name]Lavinia[/name]

[name]Marlon[/name], [name]Lennon[/name], [name]Daemon[/name], [name]Leonidas[/name].

Basically anything that DH vetoed because he thought it was too strange for rural [name]Canada[/name] :slight_smile:

A lot of the names you guys mentioned are really interesting :). Personally, I would probably go with something like [name]Rainbow[/name] [name]Mariposa[/name] for a girl and [name]Wolfgang[/name] [name]Beauregard[/name] for a boy.

In all honesty I’d probably stick with the same names I’d used now, because I love them so. For the fun of the game though my GP pleasure list would be consulted. Things like:

Evie Spencer (A combo I MELT over, but doesn’t have a place with my actual favorites :frowning: )
Fallon
January
Lavinia
Sage
Sailor/Saylor
Soleil
Sunday
Vera
Wendy

Arizona
Boston
Edgar
Ezra
Ollivander
Salem
Sonny

Maybe Evie Spencer and Vera Soleil or Salem Ollivander and Boston Edgar

EDIT: Just realized I had a Massachusetts city theme for my celebrity boy names. Got me thinking of other Massachusetts place names. Salem, Boston, Lowell and Essex would be quite adorable.

I would use the same names I would use now which all have a significant meaning to us.
[name]McKinley[/name] Mayfair ‘[name]Miki[/name]’
[name]Christian[/name] [name]Wayne[/name] ‘[name]Chris[/name]’
[name]William[/name] Iowa ‘[name]Wim[/name]’
[name]Elizabeth[/name] Zoebelle ‘[name]Ellie[/name]’

but if I were being adventurous and using my GP names they would be
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Fleur[/name] ‘[name]Poppy[/name]’
[name]Scotland[/name] [name]Grey[/name] ‘[name]Scot[/name]’
[name]Basil[/name] [name]Duncan[/name] ‘[name]Baz[/name]’
Gloriana [name]Avalon[/name] ‘[name]Glory[/name]’

Well my current favourites are pretty adventurous anyways.

I would probably go for;

[name]Malachi[/name] [name]Nesta[/name] [name]Troy[/name] ‘[name]Kai[/name]’
[name]Phoenix[/name] [name]Rocco[/name]
[name]Lucian[/name] [name]Hendrix[/name] ‘[name]Lux[/name]’
[name]Rio[/name] [name]Sebastian[/name] or [name]Sebastian[/name] [name]River[/name] ‘Bash’

[name]Nala[/name] [name]Valentina[/name] [name]Skye[/name]
[name]Selah[/name] [name]Irie[/name] [name]Starr[/name]
[name]Luna[/name] [name]Tigerlily[/name]
[name]Harlow[/name] [name]Hendrix[/name] (if I hadn’t used [name]Hendrix[/name] already) ‘Lo’

I would just use my favorites, but to be adventurous:

[name]Maxim[/name] [name]Alastair[/name]
[name]August[/name] [name]Constantine[/name]
[name]Faolan[/name] [name]Cruz[/name]

[name]Zenevieva[/name] [name]Valentine[/name]
[name]Piper[/name] [name]Monroe[/name]
[name]Holiday[/name] [name]Gem[/name]

Wouldn’t make too much of a difference, but I’d have to avoid names of other celeb kids that I love (and can use, as I’m rather anonymous). I love most of the names of the [name]Jolie[/name]-[name]Pitt[/name] kids!

I have a celebrity baby name formula, 'cause I’m a celebrity baby name cynic:

1 name no one wants to use to show how bold I am;
+1 name that obviously references architecture, art, or jazz to show how highbrow I am;
+1 name that is over-the-top-odd to show how special I am.

Evaluate result for likelihood of free publicity every time an article on “wacky” celebrity baby names is written. Bonus points for frequent exposure on Nameberry.

My standbys are [name]Herbert[/name] [name]Pei[/name] Thunderbird & [name]Mildred[/name] [name]Ella[/name]-[name]Fitzgerald[/name] Bluebonnet. :smiley:

[name]IRL[/name], I’d stick to the names I like anyway.

To be completely honest, I guess I’d just use the names that I would normally use. If I were to choose something slightly more obscure, I would choose some of the names that I really love, but think are a little bit too odd to use, like [name]William[/name] [name]Adelin[/name] and [name]Marie[/name]-Bonaparte.

I would probably go all [name]Uma[/name] [name]Thurman[/name] on my children’s names though and end up giving them like four-five each, now I think that would be the real danger.

I think I would stick to names I do love a lot and the ‘theme’ I want to go with, I would just be more adventurous with being so scared of some names I love. So if I had 4 kids (2 of each) they would be. And I’m not really thinking 100% logically, because even if I was famous, I am almost sure it would still be [name]Scarlett[/name], [name]Emerson[/name], [name]Delilah[/name], & [name]Cashel[/name] ([name]New[/name] [name]Favorite[/name] boy name!). But just for fun…

Girls.
[name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Alouette[/name]
[name]Italia[/name] [name]Arielle[/name]

Boys.
[name]Sage[/name] [name]Easton[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name] [name]Joseph[/name]

If I were a celebrity I would name my kids,

[name]Marlow[/name]
[name]Campbell[/name]
[name]Scotland[/name]
[name]Holiday[/name]
[name]Story[/name]
[name]Poem[/name]
[name]Orchid[/name]
[name]Luna[/name]
[name]Lennon[/name]
[name]Lennox[/name]
[name]Sutton[/name]
[name]Saffron[/name]
[name]Knox[/name]

[name]Sailor[/name] [name]Nicholas[/name] [name]Jeremiah[/name]
[name]Perth[/name] [name]Tolliver[/name] [name]Henry[/name]
[name]Lancaster[/name] [name]Ivan[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] “[name]Lane[/name]” / Lexington [name]Isobel[/name] [name]Helena[/name] “[name]Lex[/name]”
[name]Nehemiah[/name] [name]Rory[/name] [name]Daniel[/name]
[name]Blakely[/name] [name]Anna[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name]

Since I was younger I wanted to name a daughter Moonglow. Obviously no one agrees with me, but I wish I had a name that cool and that no one has.

Ooh glad to see someone else likes it too :slight_smile:

Well I guess if we were choosing something from our guilty pleasure list, then probably [name]Indiana[/name] for a Boy and [name]Lulu[/name] for a girl.

To be completely honest, I [name]LOVE[/name] unusual names. I don’t think I would go as far as [name]Moxie[/name] Crimefighter, but I do want my children to have names that aren’t too common, but at the same time I want them to have names that are too crazy. I know my signature shows some pretty common names, but if I were a celebrity, this is what I would name my children.

Boys:
[name]Sawyer[/name] [name]Joshua[/name]
[name]Finley[/name] “[name]Finn[/name]” [name]Edward[/name]
