Why Do Celebrities Name Their Babies Weird Names
By James Austin
Celebrities name their babies with weird names to follow an ongoing trend. Study shows creative minds come up with extremely unusual names.
While some names are easy to pronounce, there are some names that we have to think twice before saying out loud.
We can take an example of Elon Musk's son's name X AE A-12 which is considered to be one of the weirdest celebrity baby names.
When Musk announced the name of his baby, the people on the internet went crazy as several memes began to circulate.
Revealing a baby's name in a unique way has also become a trend among celebs. When celebrities make an announcement about their children, people become curious about their names.
According to Lauren Wattenberg the author of The Baby Name Wizard, celebrities have somewhat an unusual naming pattern than the public. During a Reddit discussion, one of the users mentioned that it might not be an actual name but a stage name.
Another user mentioned that birth records are made public in many places and as per the records Gwyneth Paltrow's daughter's name is Apple but she goes by the name Sarah in school.
Here are the reasons why celebrities name their babies unusual names.
1. The Need To Stand Out And Become A Trend Setter
Celebrities didn't reach where they are today by being a conventional thinker. They have to think differently in order to stand out in the crowd. It is true that people tend to forget simple and commonly used names more than unique ones.
According to a Reddit discussion, one user mentioned that these celebs use unusual names for publicity purposes. The stars may feel the need to become a trendsetter in numerous things.
It is known that in 2009 the name Mason was ranked 34 among the most popular boys' names in America but two years later it peaked at number two when Kourtney Kardashian named his son Mason.
2. The Idea of Personal Branding
In modern society personal branding is considered important especially when you are in show business. Nowadays a name means something more than what someone calls you.
When people read your name out loud they immediately began to visualize your looks, personality, and voice so a unique moniker of a child would help the general public to remember him/her in the future.
