So while the likes of us normal people living normal lives are still naming their babies Charlie, Harry and George, which are of course lovely names and no offence intended towards those people, those living the Hollywood lifestyles and appearing on our television screens and in magazines are creating weird and wonderful baby names out of religions, beliefs and experiences they’ve shared together as a couple more and more. Here are a few of the weird and wonderful one’s for you to ponder over, and you never know, you may be best friends with someone named Blue in the next 20 years…
- Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin and their daughter: Apple
Gwyneth explained an episode of Oprah back in August 2004, “It [the name Apple] sounded so sweet, and it conjures such a lovely picture for me, you know apples are so sweet and they’re wholesome, and it’s biblical.” Naming your baby after a fruit seems slightly weird, but Bob Geldof started the trend 24 years ago when he named his daughter Peaches. Some fruits are arguably more appropriate than others though; somehow I think that Peaches, Clementine and Apple are more socially acceptable than Banana or Pineapple…
- Fearne Cotton and Jessie Wood and thier son: Rex Rayne Wood
Whatever Fearne Cotton and Jessie Wood chose to name their baby, it would have no doubt been accepted as creative and trendy. Rex fits into the rock’n’roll, smooth image portrayed by the couple and will no doubt be jumped on by other expecting couples as a strong masculine name to hand their baby son.

- Gwen Stafani and Gavin Rossdale and their son: Zuma Nesta Rock
With Gwen Stefani, anything is acceptable. But Zuma?
- Jason Lee (actor in My Name Is Earl) and son: Pilot Inspektor
He heard a song by the band Grandaddy called He’s Simple, He’s Dumb, He’s the Pilot. This is possibly the most farfetched and ridiculous name going, if you can call it a name. Let’s hope the poor boy lives to love it and finds someone else who does too! “This is my husband, Pilot Inspektor…”

- Katie Price and Peter André and their daughter: Princess Tiaamii
Who was surprised when Katie Price, otherwise known as Jordan, named her first daughter Princess. And there is no doubt in the world she lives up to her name and is treated accordingly by her extravagant and indulgent mother!
- Reese Witherspoon and James Toth and their son: Tennessee James Toth
Reese spent some of her early years in Nashville, Tennessee, so no doubt wanted to keep her childhood with her, through the name of her child. Compared to some of the other peculiar names celebrities give their children, this is one which I think we could grow to love. What’s more, what can you not love about anything to do with Reese Witherspoon?

- Beyoncé and Jay-Z and their daughter: Blue Ivy
‘Ivy’ because of the couple’s favourite number 4, a steadfast respect and love for the angel of pop that is Beyoncé no doubt led everyone to love this original and innovative name, which actually sounds like some sort of poisonous weed.
- Victoria and David Beckham and their daughter: Harper Seven
‘Seven’ refers to Harper’s month of birth and David’s football shirt number whilst playing for Manchester United, and Victoria’s favourite author is Harper Lee. What other better reasons could there be to name their fourth child something a different name that no one else has? We shall wait in anticipation for the next generation to call their daughter’s Harper, as the only Beckham daughter no doubt becomes the next big thing on the famous child scene, Burberry clad obviously.

- Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes and their daughter: Suri Cruise
‘Suri’ means ‘princess’ in Hebrew or ‘red rose’ in Persian. What other perfect name to call the beautiful little Suri!
- Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady and their daughter: Vivian Lake Brady
Only this drop dead gorgeous model can get away with this one… I’m yet to meet anyone of our age and generation named Vivian, so maybe she’s trying to bring it back. And as for Brady, well you can’t get much more American than that.
