The most unusual celebrity baby names of all time

And we thought North was out there! - by Alice Murphy
  • 26 Jun 2019

Congratulations are in order for Australian radio host and TV darling Fifi Box, who welcomed a baby girl called Daisy last night!

Fifi, who is already mum to six-year-old daughter Trixie, paid homage to her first child by giving her new baby the same middle name: Belle.

Trixie Belle and Daisy Belle Box - could it get any cuter?!

But while bestowing the same middle names on your children might be regarded as an unusual move, Fifi's chosen monikers are by no means the most outlandish baby names chosen by the rich and famous.

Take a look back on some of the most bizarre celebrity baby names of all time!

WATCH: Remember when Kim Kardashian said she'd name her fourth child after her brother Rob? That didn't quite go to plan!

Kim Kardashian

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians queen and her husband Kanye West are no ordinary people, so they had little choice but to choose extraordinary names for their four little ones.

Enter: North West (6), Saint West (3), Chicago West (1) and newborn Psalm West.

As their first child, 'North' reportedly symbolises the high point of the West's relationship.

Kim and Kanye's first born son 'Saint' got his name because they couple saw him as a blessing following Kardashian's difficult pregnancy which was complicated by the life threatening condition placenta accreata.

Born last year via surrogate, 'Chicago' - shortened to Chi, which is pronounced Shy - is a homage to Kanye's hometown.

'Psalm', also born via surrogate, is said to be a "reflection of where Kim and Kanye are spiritually".

Gwyneth Paltrow

Hollywood actress Gwyneth and her ex-husband, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, were one of the first celebrity couple's to choose very unusual names for their children.

Chris and Gwyneth welcomed their first born child, daughter Apple Martin, in 2004, but it wasn't until 2012 that Gwyneth revealed the meaning behind the moniker.

"My husband named her!" she told Hello! Canada. "I thought it was so unique and sounded cool."

Their son Moses Martin arrived two years later in 2006. 

His name is thought to be inspired by a Coldplay song called Moses, in which Chris croons about his love for Gwyneth.

Happy #nationaldaughtersday Apple Martin, it's like i conjured you from a dream, you make my life.

Ashlee and Jessica Simpson

The Simpson sisters have been famous for many years, so it stands to reason they'd pick off-the-wall names for their little angels.

Ashlee is mum to son Bronx Mowgli Wentz and daughter Jagger Snow Ross, while Jessica has two daughters, Maxwell Drew and Birdie Mae, and a son Ace Knute Johnson with her sports star husband Eric Johnson.

Happy 7th Birthday to my forever best friend and baby girl. You have given me the truest, most precious purpose of life. Without question you are the coolest, most compassionate person I know. I love you. I wish I could blame all of my tears on hormones today 😭🥳💚 #MAXIDREW

Beyoncé

Global superstar Beyoncé is a doting mum-of-three to daughter Blue Ivy and twins Rumi and Sir Carter with her husband Jay Z.

Blue's name is inspired by an essay by Rebecca Solnit which waxes lyrical about the significance of the colour blue in every element of the earth; her middle name, Ivy, represents the Roman numeral IV which has special meaning for Bey and Jay who were born on the fourth of September and December respectively.

The Carter's infant daughter Rumi is named after their favourite poet, a 13th century Persian author, while Sir is intended to symbolise their newborn son's masculinity.

In an interview with Rap Radar, Jay Z said of his son's name: "Sir was like, man - come out the gate. He carries himself like that. He just came out, like, Sir."

Cardi B

Bronx-born rap sensation Cardi B and her husband Offset welcomed their first child together last year, and gave the little girl a vey rare name: Kulture Kiari Cephus.

Cardi announced her daughter's name in a social media post, writing on Instagram: "Kulture! Anything else woulda been kinda basic okurrrrr!"

The tot's middle name, Kiari, is a nod to her famous dad whose real name is Kiara Kendrell Cephus.
