From Moxie to Memphis, celebrities seem to have more creative talent than they know what to do with when it comes to choosing distinctive names for their offspring.
Here are our Top 10 unusual celebrity baby names:
1. Moxie Crimefighter Jillette
Number one on our list has to be Moxie Crimefighter, daughter
of comedian/magician Penn Jillette and his wife Emily. We
chose her middle name because when she's pulled over for
speeding she can say, But officer, we're on the same
side, Jillette explained to CBS. My
middle name is CrimeFighter. Okay, seriously, what
girl would not want this awesome name?
2. Pilot Inspektor
Actor Jason Lee of My Name is Earl fame played the
name game with Beth Riesgraf when they chose the unique moniker
Pilot Inspektor Riesgraf Lee for their boy. The name is
apparently inspired by a song entitled "He's Simple, He's Dumb,
He's the Pilot" by the band Grandaddy.
3. Kal-el Coppola Cage
Nicolas and Alice Cage chose a super name for their super kid.
Kal-El was reportedly selected because the big-time movie star
is also a big-time Superman comic fan. The name Coppola is from
Cages Uncle, director Francis Ford Coppola.
3. Apple Blythe Alison Martin
Come on - of course Apple had to make the list! Actress Gwyneth
Paltrow and lead singer Chris Martin of Coldplay are parents to
this little sweetie. The name Blythe is not so hard to figure
out, given her grandma is actress Blythe Danner - and Alison is
for Chris' mum.
4. Kyd Miller Duchovny
X-Files star David Duchovny and actress Tea Leoni
chose this unique and rather on-the-nose name for their kid:
Kyd Miller Duchovny. (The boy apparently goes by "Miller."
Maybe all the children on the playground turned around when
they used his first name…)
5. Destry Allyn Spielberg
Director Steven Spielberg and wife actress Kate Capshaw named
their daughter Destry. Was it inspired by the classic Western
film "Destry Rides Again"?
6. Shiloh Jolie-Pitt
Superstars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt chose the biblical name
Shiloh for their first biological child. Brother Maddox also
has a striking name.
7. Memphis Eve Hewson
Irish rocker Bono of U2 has four children, and memphis Eve may
be the most uniquely named. Sister Jordan and brothers Elijah
Bob Patricius and John Abraham keep her company. Hewson is
Bonos - really Paul's - last name.
8. Ocean Whittaker
The Last King of Scotland star Forest Whitaker
uniquely named himself chose a more aquatic alias
for his son Ocean. Ocean is joined by siblings Sonnet, True and
Autumn. Whitaker explains, I want those names to be their
destiny, for my daughter to be honest and my son to be
expansive. I try to be like a forest, revitalizing and
constantly growing."
9. Kingston Rossdale
The already fashionable son of rockers Gwen Stefani and Gavin
Rossdale is nearly two years old, and was said to be named for
the Jamaican capital city. SheKnows recently reported that
Kingston is set to have a sibling. Sing a song about sharing,
Gwen!
10. Gaia Romilly Wise
British actors Greg Wise and Emma Thompson used Sense and
Sensibility when they named their daughter Gaia Romilly
Wise. The famous kid shares a name with Gaia, the Greek earth
goddess.
