Rocker and Rapper Baby Names

Atlanta
- Origin:
  American place name from Greek
- Meaning:
  "Atlantic Ocean"
- Description:
  The capital of Georgia is far from the ocean, but got its name from the Western and Atlantic Railroad which ran through the city. Best known as a hub of industry and transport, and for its roles in the Civil War and Civil Rights Movement, it has never been popular as a baby name despite sounding like one. Its peak popularity was in 1995, the year before Atlanta hosted the Olympic Games.
God'iss
- Origin:
  Modern invented name
- Description:
  God'iss Love is the full name of the daughter of R & B singer Lil' Mo, who decided to move beyond Trinity and Genesis and turn her child's name into a statement. Her sister is called Heaven.
Alzea
- Origin:
  Modern invented name
- Description:
  Though rapper Chingy's (real name: Howard) Alzea is a boy, this name seems more appropriate for girls.

Kama
- Origin:
  Hindi-Sanskrit
- Meaning:
  "love, desire"
- Description:
  This simple but alluring name — some might associate it with the Kama Sutra — was chosen by heavy metal rocker Sammy Hagar for his daughter.
Epik
- Origin:
  Variation of Epic; English word name
- Meaning:
  "heroic tale or event"
- Description:
  Epik is a new word name used by Princess Love and Ray J for their baby boy. Fifteen baby boys were named Epic, the usual spelling of the word, last year, so maybe Epik is to Epic as Erik is to Eric. While Epic in the classic sense refers to a long narrative poem, today it's more likely a slang word used in place of grand or amazing.
Ickitt
- Origin:
  Invented name
- Description:
  Rapper M.I.A. announced this as her newborn son's name, which may or may not be a joke.

Ikhyd
- Description:
  Notably used by rapper M.I.A. for her son in 2009.
Quanah
- Origin:
  Native American, Comanche
- Meaning:
  "sweet smelling, fragrant"
- Description:
  Name of a major figure in Indigenous history, Quanah Parker, a Comanche chief who became a judge on the Court of Indian Affairs.
Heiress
- Origin:
  Word Name
- Description:
  In this era of Royalty, Reign, and Sir, why not Heiress? It is the name given by Clifford "T.I." And Tameka "Tiny" Harris to their daughter in 2016.

Egypt
- Origin:
  Place-name
- Meaning:
  "the house of the soul of Ptah"
- Description:
  We had Egypt listed as a girls-only place-name until singer Alicia Keys and rap producer husband Swizz Beatz used it for their son...and why not? Egypt certainly works as well for a boy as for a girl, similar in sound as it is to Elijah.
Frankito
- Origin:
  Diminutive of Frank
- Meaning:
  "free man"
- Description:
  Frank is cool again. Frankie is cute. But frankly, Frankito is a couple of diminutives too many.
Madilyn
- Origin:
  Spelling variation of Madelyn
- Description:
  Madelyn is the most popular, phonetically-clear spelling of the lovely and stylish French name. Madilyn edges it toward Marilyn, though that isn't necessarily a bad thing.
