A* celebrity baby names
We all know that celebs can’t help themselves when it comes to creative and unusual baby names.
There would be too many to list them all, but here are a few honourable mentions:
- Name: Apple Martin
- Inspiration: the fruit
The daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin was given a name that’s sure to keep the doctors away.
Apparently it was Martin’s idea. Paltrow thought it sounded “so sweet, and it conjured such a lovely picture for me, you know. Apples are so sweet and they’re wholesome, and it’s biblical”.
WIN A SHARE OF £2000 FROM 1P TICKETS
The apple in the Bible wasn’t exactly sweet or wholesome, but each to their own we guess.
- Name: Bryce Dallas Howard
- Inspiration: the city
Ron Howard wins the Most Embarrassing Father award hands down, as all of his children have a middle name inspired by where they were conceived!
That’s Bryce Dallas Howard, Paige Carlyle Howard and Jocelyn Carlyle Howard (twins who share a name with the New York City hotel) and Reed Cross Howard (inspired by the street name of the Howard household).
THERE’S £16,000 TO BE WON EVERY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY IN THE PARIS ROOM
- Name: Rex Swash
- Inspiration: the dinosaur
There’s nothing dated about this prehistoric name. Stacey Solomon revealed that her son’s name was inspired by the Tyrannosaurus rex, after his big brothers compared the sounds that he made to that of a dinosaur.
