Being a successful celebrity these days involves a lot more work than might be apparent at first glance. Not only do you have to be totally fabulous looking and completely occupied doing fabulous things in fabulous places, it appears today’s modern celebrities must also give their children some very unusual names to make sure they are set apart from the less-than-fabulous children of regular, non-celebrity type parents. As a result, the Hollywood crowd sometimes seems to be in a competition for the weirdest baby names. At times, it appears that the stranger the baby’s name is, the more unconventional the parents are. However, before you start to feel too sorry for celebrity kids with odd names, remember that most of them will have plenty of money to make their lives a bit easier even if they do have to live with a moniker like “Moon Unit” or “Banjo.”
Check out this list of celebrity baby names listed below in alphabetical order to see if you agree that the richer the parents are, the more likely it is their kids will have an unusual name.
