Entertainment
If you're in the market for a unique baby name, Hollywood may be your new go-to source for inspiration. Celebrities aren't afraid to push the status quo or try new things, and the names the choose for their babies prove it. Granted, there are some super strange celebrity baby names out there (I'm not entirely sure what Jamie Oliver was thinking with Petal Blossom Rainbow.) But despite the more unique monikers, there are some seriously beautiful meanings behind the most interesting celebrity baby names, if you're looking for a name that doesn't just sound pretty, but has a pretty meaning.
The meaning behind a baby's name is important to many parents. It can give your child a boost of confidence later in life, help them remember an important value, or simply inspire them. And although many people may be hesitant give their child the same name as a A-lister's baby, there is something to be said about the thought that celebrities put into their children's names.
Whether you're looking for a multi-cultural name, one with a long history, or the perfect gender neutral choice, looking to the "stars" might just give you the needed boost of inspiration you've been looking for.
1
Zahara
The Jolie-Pitt clan never fails on the beautiful/unique name spectrum. Zahara Marley is no exception. Meaning "to shine or flower" in Swahili, Zahara is definitely a name with a meaning as beautiful as it sounds.
2
Aurelius
Australian super model Elle Macphereson's son is definitely not a baby anymore, but his name is the perfect choice if you're looking for some unique inspiration. From Greek mythology, Aurelius means "the golden one."
3
Neriah
Brooke Burke's daughter Neriah, which means "light of Jehovah" in Hebrew, definitely deserves a spot on the list.
4
Destry
Director Steven Spielberg chose this unique, gender neutral name for his daughter. It means "warhorse" in French and could be used in place of Destiny or Dustin.
5
Pax
Another Jolie-Pitt child with a beautiful name, Pax means "peace" in Latin and could be used for either a boy or a girl and be just as perfect.
6
Sonnet
Forrest Whitaker gave his daughter a name that is literally poetic. A type of poem itself, Sonnet means "little song" and might just be the sweetest sounding name ever.
7
Amada
The baby name of choice for Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendez, Amada means "beloved" in Spanish.
8
Trixie
Emma and Matt Willis chose this uncommon name for their daughter and it surprisingly has a gorgeous meaning behind it. Trixie means "she who bring happiness" in Latin, and is the diminutive form of Beatrix.
9
Kit
For her newest addition, British TV presenter Coleen Rooney chose Kit, a name that means "pure" and is perfectly gender-neutral.
10
Silas
Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel's baby boy Silas has a name that's been around for a while, but is definitely not common. It means "wood or forrest" in Latin.
11
Atlas
Atlas was the mythological Greek god who held the world on his shoulders. Is is also the name of choice for Edward Norton and Shauna Robertson's now-toddler.
