In the realm of unique, idiosyncratic or just plain weird baby names, nobody tops the list quite like celebrities.
Some of these kids may even face torment and teasing throughout their younger years and chuckles as they grow older. But at least they’ll be crazy rich.
10. Moses and Apple, son and daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow
Moses is kind of a stretch but isn’t that bad. Apple is a little more out there, but compared to some of the names other celebrities have pulled out of who-knows-where, a piece of fruit isn’t terrible.
9. Hazel and Phinnaeus, twins, daughter and son of Julia Roberts
Hazel is kind of pretty but Phinnaeus is a little antiquated, to say the least. Besides, imagine how hard it will be for him to learn to spell it.
8. Indiana August, son of Casey Affleck and Summer Phoenix
Indiana as a word is rather pretty, but people will naturally think of the state when they hear it. I pity anyone who constantly conjures images of such a place.
7. Diezel Ky, son of Toni Braxton
While I usually support spelling words with a “z” instead of an “s,” doing so in your child’s name usually doesn’t work, especially when you name said child after a motor fuel.
6. Sage Moonblood, son of Sylvester Stallone
It seems like Stallone is trying to draw on his inner Native American, and the name Sage actually sounds nice. Moonblood, however, is disturbing.
5. Henry Gunther Ademola Dashtu Samuel and Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel, sons of Heidi Klum and Seal
Henry is completely normal and Johan isn’t too unusual.
However, giving a kid 6-7 names to write out, even if they only write their full name occasionally, is a little excessive.
4. Banjo Patrick, son of Rachel Griffiths
Banjos are great folk, country and bluegrass instruments, not names. Banjo sounds weird and he’ll likely get picked on for it.
3. Rumer Glenn, Scout LaRue and Tallulah Belle, daughters of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore
If I (theoretically) were going to name a child Scout, I would at least make sure the kid was a boy. Rumer and Tallulah are just as confusing and, frankly, weird.
2. Ahmet Emuukha Rodan, Moon Unit and Diva Muffin, son and daughters of Frank Zappa

Ahmet is just a little weird and Moon Unit is just silly. Diva Muffin sounds like a name some new money Californian would name his or her Pomeranian.
1. Pilot Inspektor, son of Jason Lee
Seriously, Jason Lee? Not only did you name your kid that, but you had to make it even more pretentious and ridiculous by spelling “inspector” with a “k.”
