Great Celebrity Grandbaby Names

by Linda Rosenkrantz

We’re all fascinated—and sometimes gobsmacked—by the names some celebrities choose (or create) for their children.

But what happens with the next generation? Do these starbabies then choose more conventional names for their kids—or are they as creative as their parents were?

The evidence below shows that it’s often the latter. You’ll see grandbaby girls named Rio, Rocket, Slate, Callaway and Ezra—the latter being Mick Jagger’s GREAT-granddaughter– and twin boys named Falcon and Riot.

For the most part, I only chose one to a customer, though it was sometimes hard to pick the most unique (looking at you, Diana Ross).
