From ‘Adira’ to ‘Pilot Inspektor’, 11 Celebrity Couples Who Have Given Their Kids Unconventional And Unique Names
Celebrities do a lot of things well. They can somehow look like they’ve not rolled straight out of bed when catching early morning flights, as opposed to us regular beings who look like death warmed over on good days, and they can cry on command, which is not necessarily a good thing but it’s pretty cool.
Another thing that they’re known to be good at is giving their babies unconventional and unique names. Elon Musk and Grimes broke the Internet when they revealed the name of their firstborn (the second child, too, had the most unusual name). Closer to home, Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan had to face ugly trolling for picking the names that were also the names of Muslim rulers for their children.
Now, most of these children won’t be able to find novelty merchandise with their names in gift shops, but at least no one’s going to forget their names any time soon. Here are some of the most unusual celebrity baby names that we love…
Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput
The couple fused their names together to create the name of their daughter Misha. Thank the Universe for them having normal-sounding syllables!
Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan
When Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor decided on the names of their children Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir Ali Khan, little did they know that they would be inviting criticism from the Right Wing mob for the kids having Muslim rulers as their namesakes.
Elon Musk and Grimes
Elon Musk and Grimes’ decision to name their children X Æ A-12, who they call ‘X’ and Exa Dark Sideræl, who goes by ‘Y’, launched a thousand memes that we still can’t stop laughing at.
Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott
As is the tradition of the Jenner-Kardashian clan, the offsprings cannot be named like regular folks (think North West and Reign). This is why it came as no surprise when Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott named their children Wolf Webster and Stormi.
Aditya Chopra and Rani Mukerji
Like Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput, producer-director Aditya Chopra and actress Rani Mukerji combined their names together to create the name for their firstborn daughter Adira.
Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost
The name of actress Scarlett Johansson and comedian Colin Jost’s baby Cosmo could be the name of an off-brand superhero or a delicious drink favoured by one Carrie Bradshaw and her gang.

Ed Sheeran and Cherry Seaborn
You’d be forgiven for thinking that Ed Sheeran and Cherry Seaborn’s child’s name, Lyra Antarctica, was actually the name of winter-themed stretchy leggings.
Nicolas Cage and Alice Kim
It’s pretty clear where Nicolas Cage and Alice Kim stand on the whole Marvel vs DC debate. Case in point is their son who is named Kal-El.
Cardi B and Offset
Cardi B and Offset’s baby Kulture Kiari must give Kris Kardashian nightmares for not landing on the name for one of her children (or grandchildren) sooner.
Jason Lee and Beth Riesgraf
Actor Jason Lee and Beth Riesgraf did their child a solid by narrowing down future career choices when they named their son Pilot Inspektor.
Sting and Frances Tomelty
How much do you want to bet that Sting and Frances Tomelty’s daughter Fuschia’s favourite colour is anything but that?
