It's not enough that supermodels are skinny, gorgeous, world-revered millionaires. They've got babies, too, and not just ordinary babies, but babies with incredibly cool names. The baby names of supermodels are a fashionable bunch with a variety of origins. Alastair and Clementine, Lyra and Ugo, Cosima and more join the list of names vetted by the style experts themselves.
Along with Lyra and Alastair, other supermodel baby names in the US Top 1000 include August, Elle, Flynn, Genevieve, Jagger, Kenzo, Scarlett, and Valentina. Just like other celebrities, some supermodels choose bold and adventurous names for their babies; some of the craziest include Sahteene, Rainbow, and Rumble.
Supermodel baby names tend to be more international than other celebrity baby names. Here you’ll find names like Arpad and Johan alongside Ciel and Krishna. Browse our collection of supermodel baby names below, ordered by their current popularity on Nameberry.
