From A to Z &mdash; or more specifically from Apple to Zolten &mdash; here are 40 of the weirdest celebrity baby names that may or may not take off in the near future.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-nbsp-apple-gwyneth-paltrow-and-chris-martin\">1.&nbsp;Apple (Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin)<\/h2><p>Apple is one of the most well-known weird celebrity baby names.

Blue Ivy<\/strong> (Beyonce and Jay-Z)<\/h2><p>This weird celebrity baby name needs no introduction, much like her uber-famous parents.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Bluesy Belle (Darren Criss and Mia Swier)<\/h2><p>Perhaps the singing\/acting couple didn&rsquo;t want to copy Beyonce and Jay-Z?<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-bronx-ashlee-simpson-and-pete-wentz\"><strong>6. Bronx<\/strong> (Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz)<\/h2><p>Because Brooklyn is so last decade.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-brother-darren-criss-and-mia-swier\">7.

Coco<\/strong> (Courtney Cox and David Arquette)<\/h2><p>This name may seem&nbsp;fancy for a baby, but any cool kid can grow into it.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-9-cosimo-marissa-ribisi-and-beck\"><strong>9. Cosimo<\/strong> (Marissa Ribisi and Beck)<\/h2><p>If your name is &ldquo;Beck,&rdquo; the only way to take things up a notch is by naming&nbsp;your child &ldquo;Cosimo,&rdquo; right?<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-10-cricket-busy-philipps-and-marc-silverstein\"><strong>10. Cricket<\/strong> (Busy Philipps and Marc Silverstein)<\/h2><p>Looks like this celebrity couple is really into the creative baby names.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-11-denim-toni-braxton-and-keri-lewis\"><strong>11. Denim<\/strong> (Toni Braxton and Keri Lewis)<\/h2><p>The good news? It goes with anything.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-12-doone-amanda-beard-and-sacha-brown\"><strong>12. Doone<\/strong> (Amanda Beard and Sacha Brown)<\/h2><p>This moniker feels straight out of the &ldquo;last name as first name&rdquo; trend.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-13-dream-rob-kardashian-amp-blac-chyna\">13. Dream (Rob Kardashian &amp; Blac Chyna)<\/h2><p>Sadly, their infamous relationship was anything but.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-14-everest-george-lucas-and-mellody-hobson\"><strong>14. Everest<\/strong> (George Lucas and Mellody Hobson)<\/h2><p>If your dad is George Lucas, you&rsquo;re bound to have an epic name. Like the name of the tallest mountain on the planet.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-15-exa-dark-siderael-elon-musk-and-grimes\">15. <strong>Exa Dark Sider&aelig;l<\/strong> (Elon Musk and Grimes)<\/h2><p>Would you expect anything less from the couple whose first child together is X &AElig; A-Xii? Exa, ironically, goes by the nickname &ldquo;Y.&rdquo; This family delights in dreaming up some of the weirdest celebrity names.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-16-future-ciara-and-future\"><strong>16. Future<\/strong> (Ciara and Future)<\/h2><p>There&rsquo;s great&nbsp;irony in naming your child &ldquo;Future&rdquo; when your own name is &ldquo;Future.&rdquo;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-17-goldie-rupert-grint-and-georgia-groome\">17. Goldie (Rupert Grint and Georgia Groome)<\/h2><p>With a name like Goldie G.

Super sweet.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-23-moroccan-mariah-carey-and-nick-cannon\"><strong>23. Moroccan<\/strong> (Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon)<\/h2><p>The weirdest thing about this celebrity baby&nbsp;name? His middle name is Scott.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-24-north-kim-kardashian-and-kanye-west\"><strong>24. North<\/strong> (Kim Kardashian and Kanye West)<\/h2><p>It was the biggest &ldquo;this has to be a joke&rdquo; baby name moment of a generation. But now it just feels, well, absolutely normal.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-25-ocean-amber-heard\">25. Ocean (Amber Heard)<\/h2><p>Following in the footsteps of big sister, Oonagh, Ocean (and his twin sister Agnes) are sure to make waves in the baby name world.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-26-olin-blake-lively-and-ryan-reynolds\">26. Olin (Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds)<\/h2><p>It took several months for Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds to reveal this as the name of their fourth child, and while we like it, we never would have been able to guess it.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-27-pilot-jason-lee-and-beth-riesgraf\"><strong>27. Pilot<\/strong> (Jason Lee and Beth Riesgraf)<\/h2><p>His middle name, Inspektor, is really the star of the show.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-28-puma-erykah-badu-and-the-d-o-c\"><strong>28. Puma<\/strong> (Erykah Badu and The D.O.C.)<\/h2><p>Bonus points for giving her a name that could help her land a sweet endorsement deal when she grows up.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-29-racer-robert-rodriguez-and-nbsp-elizabeth-avellan\"><strong>29. Racer<\/strong> (Robert Rodriguez and&nbsp;Elizabeth Avell&aacute;n)<\/h2><p>Maybe not great on a driver&rsquo;s license, but when your brothers are named Rocket, Rebel and&nbsp;Rogue, it just works.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-30-rainbow-holly-madison\"><strong>30. Rainbow<\/strong> (Holly Madison)<\/h2><p>This name couldn&rsquo;t be more&nbsp;colorful&nbsp;if it tried.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-31-riot-rihanna-and-a-ap-rocky\">31. Riot (Rihanna and A$AP Rocky)<\/h2><p>With the first and middle name Riot Rose, this weird celebrity baby name is a lesson in sweet contradictions.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-32-saga-blade-machine-gun-kelly-and-megan-fox\">32. Saga Blade (Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox)<\/h2><p>Considering her parents&rsquo; vocations, Saga (referencing a Nordic goddess of storytelling) is a fitting name.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-33-story-jenna-elfman-and-bodhi-elfman\"><strong>33. Story<\/strong> (Jenna Elfman and Bodhi Elfman)<\/h2><p>We don&rsquo;t hate it. In fact, we love it.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-34-sunday-nicole-kidman-and-keith-urban\"><strong>34. Sunday<\/strong> (Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban)<\/h2><p>This name is kinda popular &hellip; for celebrity parents. Mike Myers also has a daughter named Sunday.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-35-townes-meadow-bair-hilary-duff-and-matthew-koma\">35. Townes Meadow Bair (Hilary Duff and Matthew Koma)<\/h2><p>The whole name evokes an old-fashioned fairytale, and I&rsquo;m here for it.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-36-usher-usher-and-tameka-foster\"><strong>36. Usher<\/strong> (Usher and Tameka Foster)<\/h2><p>If there are four Ushers ahead of you (his famous singer dad is&nbsp;Usher Raymond IV), it&rsquo;s just written in the stars of family history that you&rsquo;re going to&nbsp;be Usher Raymond V.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-37-vanja-chloe-sevigny-and-sinisa-mackovic\">37. Vanja (Chlo&euml; Sevigny and Sinisa Mackovic)<\/h2><p>It&rsquo;s fresh, it&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.care.com\/c\/gender-neutral-baby-names\/\">gender-neutral<\/a> and it&rsquo;s more wonderful than weird.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-38-willa-sophia-turner-and-nbsp-joe-jonas\">38. Willa (Sophia Turner and&nbsp;Joe Jonas)<\/h2><p>This strong, old-fashioned name sputtered out of popularity in the early 1960s, but it&rsquo;s been back in the Social Security Top 1,000 Names since 2010. Our guess is that being recognized as an official weird celebrity baby name means it&rsquo;s only going up from here.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-39-wolf-webster-kylie-jenner-and-travis-scott\">39. Wolf Webster (Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott)<\/h2><p>To us, Wolf seemed like an adorably ferocious name for the couple&rsquo;s son, but after a few weeks, the makeup mogul announced that they changed his name &hellip; to Aire. Less ferocious, more adorable.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-40-zolten-penn-and-emily-jillette\">40.
