I recently noticed a blog post on Nameberry asking about what people would name their kids if they were celebrities. Since celebrities are prone to picking unusual, quirky, and sometimes even bizarre names, what would you choose if you were a celebrity? Would you pick a similarly offbeat name, or would you stick with a more traditional one?

If I were a celebrity, I would name a daughter Cleo Persephone and a son Boden Gatsby.

[Ivee(:]

If I was a celebrity I would probably use my guilty pleasure names with a traditional middle.
As horrible as they may be, I love them.

Glimmer Marie
Poppy Alexandria
Lazlo Alexander
Gideon James

[Jay.]

Nope, my future kids names would probably stay the same...

Liam Timothy and Joy Marie.. I might possibly go with Layken Shiloh for a boy, but probably not.

I know a little boy named Lazlo!

[PaperHeart]

I would most likely still go with my current options.
But I might just use a guilty pleasure or two!

I.e.
Poet Elisabeth
Tallulah Jane
Luna Caterine
Harmony Stella
Arabella Quinn
Flavia Rose
Mischa Noelle

Dante Francesco
Milo Griffin
August Lennon
Leonardo James
Wyatt Caspian
Maximilian Henry

[Remy Hadley]

I don't think my options would change whether I was a celebrity or not I love the names on my list because I genuinely love them, and guilty pleasure names are GP's because I can't see the name on a child- whether they are famous or not. (for reasons of teasing potential, not aging, etc). So they'd stay the same

But maybe I might be more tempted to use choices such as....

Seraphina
Emery
Marley
Juniper
Roisin
Saoirse
Franklin

Those are the only ones that come up off the top of my head But yeah... haha. In any life I'd adore to use some real old fashioned names like Harriet or something but oh well. I adore them old fashioned names! <3

[Katie-Nana]

I think I would stick to my current first name choices, which are already a bit quirky/unusual. However I might go with different/more unique middle name combos. If I'm rich and famous, why not? Since bird names have special meaning to me, there is a bird name in each of the combos...

Wiley Christopher Egret
Eller Martin Alvery
Rand Caspian Starling
Amos Theodore Whimbrel

Edie Georgiana Pheobe
Sidda Virginia Marylark
Farris Winifred Nightingale
Prairie Wren Delilah

[Katie-Nana]

Lazlo Alexander

I really like Lazlo

[Laugh-Dream-Love]

I'd probably use guilty pleasure names mixed with my favourite names.

Sunday Grace

Naya Josephine

Shyanne Lucy

Rainer Samuel

Roman Theodore

Kenton Lawrence

Or if I was feeling really crazy I'd go with Sunday Shyanne for a girl and Tuesday Peregrine for a boy.

[ashooles]

I'd probably be tempted to use my GP names. It wouldn't be so out there, then. I still don't think I'd go TOO out there, though.

Maybe something like Kennedy for a girl.

[Starlight]

I would probably use some guilty pleasures
Maybe Sophia Aurora (Aurora being a guilty pleasure), and I would probably use another huge guilty pleasure, Summer Emilia on a Girl.. OH and I would SO use Arabella! or Caleb Nathaniel for a boy!

[The Future Mrs B]

I think I'd use my GPs since I could get away with it.

Maybe Gideon Wrestling and Koda Jacob for boys and Rebekah "Bec" Kayla and Antonia "Toni" Delilah for girls.

[.:alexandra:.]

If I were a celebrity I would probably use some of my guilty pleasure names which are girls names for boys, normal names with weird spellings, and place names.

Girls names for boys:
Aidan Leigh
Dylan Marie
Ryan Makenzie
Tyler Sophia

Normal names with weird spellings aka, "teen mom" names:
Kaeli Sofiyah
Kynlee Graes
Cassadee Payge
Makynzee Brooke

Aydenn Jayce
Tyelar Jayms
Kohl Josiyah
Alijah Kohl

Place names:
Dallas Makenzie
Cali Grace
Madison Sophia

Orlando Jace
Austin Cole
Houston Tye

[Auntie Megan]

Bentley, Emmett, Hayden, Jackson, Levi,
Blossom, Haven, Hermione, Leilani, Mckenzie,

[xxThePumpkinQueenxx]

I would def. use my favorite guilty pleasure name for a girl:

Mahogany Britain

Not too sure about a little boy though. I'd have to actually think about that and repost. lol

[MellyMade]

I'd definitely use guilty pleasure names. Being rich and famous grants them immunity, right? Right?

Lavender Gertrude
Bluebonnet Cleo
Fiona Snowfall
&
Hart Waldemar

[Jay.]

Alright changed my ideas for boys

Liam Hart or Liam Diaz

[xxThePumpkinQueenxx]

So, I thought about what I would name a little boy and I came up with these

Matteo Avery - "Matty", "Tay"
Sebastian Avery - "Bastian"
Sebastian Matteo

As well as for a girl

Mahogany Britain - "Annie"
Lenore Brynn
Aurora Kensington - "Rory"

All guilty pleasure names

[Permanent Rose]

I really don't know if being famous or not would change my naming style, but if I were to follow the celebrity "trend" I'd probably be brave enough to use some of my guilty pleasures:

Briar Rose

Anza Lyric

Elliot Quinn {Ellie or Ellie-Quinn}

Lark Harper

Helen Olympia

Adia Monet

Caela Fantine

Alexander Helios

August Julian

[kassieb11]

I say

Boys:
Theory Allen
Rocket Christopher
Sniper Michael

Girls:
Persephone Summer
AIrheart Marie
Alaska Rose

Jeff Says:

Boys:
Shadow David
Sparten John
Cloud James

Girls:
LIghtning Marie
Samus Crystal
Maple Annette

Our guilty names together are

Wolfheart James Christopher & Aberdeen Summer Marie

(Although some of the names we plan on using regardless of celeb status are considered unusual anyway, although they are not in this list except the middle names )
