So I just happened to come across this article from a British magazine of the worst celebrity baby names so I thought I’d post some of the more “unique” ones here to see what everyone thinks.

So I was just wondering in your opinion which are the weirdest/worst ones out of those? and what are some of the weirdest/worst/most unique names you’ve ever come across?
Not many are new, but there’s only several that I recognise (or know who the parents are). Anyway I love;
[name_f]Cricket[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] - I actually love both of these
[name_u]Blue[/name_u] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] - hated this at first, but Bey has good taste.
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_m]Bean[/name_m] - I don’t think I could ever dislike a name [name_m]Kurt[/name_m] and [name_u]Courtney[/name_u] chose!!
[name_f]Gaia[/name_f] [name_f]Romilly[/name_f] - pretty, nothing wrong here, as I remember her mum is [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_m]Thompson[/name_m]? I don’t know why I remember that.
[name_m]Gulliver[/name_m] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] - again, nothing weird here. I like both.
[name_u]Morocco[/name_u] [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] - I like both names but I guess it’s unusual
[name_f]Bluebell[/name_f] [name_f]Madonna[/name_f] - I [name_f]ADORE[/name_f] [name_f]Bluebell[/name_f], and [name_f]Madonna[/name_f] appeals to me for some reason (of course I love [name_f]Madonna[/name_f] too)
These are my favourites:
[name_m]Booker[/name_m] Jombe- I love [name_m]Booker[/name_m]. 'Nuff said.
[name_f]Cricket[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]- I love love love this. Up there with [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_m]Bean[/name_m] for me, and that is saying something.
[name_f]Happy[/name_f]- I love [name_f]Happy[/name_f] (it was on the short list for both my sister and I), but I do worry about temper tantrums. Kudo’s to whoever chose this though.
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_m]Bean[/name_m]- This is among the best moniker’s ever created for a real person.
[name_f]Gaia[/name_f] [name_f]Romilly[/name_f]- This isn’t odd at all. [name_f]Gaia[/name_f]? I know a handful of [name_f]Gaia[/name_f]'s. Most people just see it as a variation on the super popular [name_f]Maya[/name_f].
[name_m]Gulliver[/name_m] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u]- This isn’t odd. This is perfection. I’m sorry to whoever made this list, but [name_u]Gary[/name_u] Oldman can do no wrong. It is a universally accepted law. He is Dracula- he will find you and suck your blood with Béla Lugosi.
[name_u]Satchel[/name_u]- I love this. Weird meaning for a child’s name, but a cool word.
[name_u]Seven[/name_u] [name_m]Sirius[/name_m]- I actually like [name_u]Seven[/name_u], and [name_m]Sirius[/name_m]. I know lots of people think of that Seinfield episode, but I like it. [name_u]Seven[/name_u] would be a cool kid, and he could use [name_u]Seth[/name_u] if he hated it.
[name_m]Bear[/name_m] [name_u]Blu[/name_u]- Kind of cute.
[name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]- It’s [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m], it doesn’t need an explanation: [name_m]Iggy[/name_m] is wonderful.
[name_f]Betty[/name_f] Kitten- I love [name_f]Betty[/name_f]. I prefer [name_f]Kitty[/name_f], but Kitten is pretty cool.
[name_m]Hopper[/name_m] [name_m]Jack[/name_m]- I love [name_m]Hopper[/name_m]. So friendly and bouncy. I don’t think it is odd.
[name_f]Heavenly[/name_f] Hiraani [name_m]Tiger[/name_m] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]- I love the name [name_m]Tiger[/name_m] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] ([name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Pan[/name_m]). I’ve always thought it was so beautiful- extremely unusual, but I would be proud to have that moniker.
[name_u]Banjo[/name_u]- This really isn’t weird. In Australia, one of the most revered poet’s was [name_u]Banjo[/name_u] A.Patteron, and considering it was chosen by an Australian actress, I think this wonderful name is honouring [name_m]Patterson[/name_m].
Best Names:
[name_f]Cricket[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_m]Bean[/name_m]
[name_m]Gulliver[/name_m] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
[name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]
[name_m]Hopper[/name_m] [name_m]Jack[/name_m]
[name_m]Tiger[/name_m] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_u]Banjo[/name_u]
I like [name_f]Nahla[/name_f] [name_f]Ariela[/name_f], [name_u]Halle[/name_u] [name_u]Berry[/name_u]'s child. At first I hated the name [name_f]Nahla[/name_f] but now I think it sounds quite pretty. I think [name_m]Bingham[/name_m] Hawn is okay. [name_f]Fifi[/name_f] Trixibelle is fabulous…for miniature poodle.
The worst name I [name_u]EVER[/name_u] saw was pronounced koh-KAH-nay, and spelled as Cocaine. Seriously.
[name_f]Nahla[/name_f] [name_f]Ariela[/name_f] is such a beautiful name, I’d have [name_f]Nala[/name_f]/[name_f]Nahla[/name_f] on my list if it wasn’t for the [name_m]Lion[/name_m] [name_m]King[/name_m] association.
I also like [name_f]Gaia[/name_f] [name_f]Romilly[/name_f], [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_m]Bean[/name_m] and [name_u]Seven[/name_u] [name_m]Sirius[/name_m].
I actually don’t think [name_u]Banjo[/name_u] is unusual at all. Yes, it is an instrument, but [name_u]Banjo[/name_u] is a recognised name here in Australia, and I know several people who have named their children [name_u]Banjo[/name_u]. And [name_u]Banjo[/name_u] [name_m]Patterson[/name_m] who wrote “Waltzing [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]” and many other things, is an Australian icon who is featured on our $10 note.
