Unique Celebrity Baby Names

Is Brother a baby name? Well, sort of, although it's not a choice you should expect to see on many birth certificates. Brother is in our database thanks to Darren Criss, who named his son Brother László in 2024 (his older sister is Bluesy Belle).

Variation of Koda.

Wylei exists because Corey Parker decreed it so: He gave his newborn son this variation of the classic surname more conventionally spelled Wylie or Wiley. The problem with the Wylei spelling is that it makes you think the name may have a different pronunciation, with an ay versus an ee sound at the end. This is one of those creative inspirations that will make the child's life more difficult for years to come.

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.

Cool word name for boys evocative of rock and roll. Julia Stiles named her son Strummer in 2017.

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.

Quirky mini name given by Nia Long to her daughter in 2011. Could be short for Keziah.

Jonelle is a feminine name that emerged as a blend of John (Hebrew for 'God is gracious') and the feminine suffix -elle, creating a distinctive female variant of this traditionally male name. It gained modest popularity in the United States during the 1950s through 1970s, reflecting the trend of creating feminine versions of masculine names during that era. Jonelle has a melodic quality with its soft ending while maintaining a certain strength from its root name. Though never extremely common, it appeals to parents seeking a name that balances familiarity with uniqueness. The name has occasionally appeared in popular culture, helping maintain its recognition without becoming overused.

This spelling variation of Peta, chosen by Ani DiFranco for her daughter, might be a little difficult to pull off. Alternative suggestions: Petra and Petal.

A lively but melodic name of Hawaiian origin, Liko'ula was recently chosen by former MMA fighter and actress Ronda Rousey and her husband Travis Browne. The name possibly combines liko meaning "bud or newly opened leaf" with 'ula meaning "red".
