These unusual celebrity baby names will surprise you

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott named their first child Stormi, so for their second baby fans were guessing along the same lines of something weather-related, but on February 11, 2022, the young beauty mogul announced her son's name was Wolf Jacques Webster. The couple later backtracked, however, and announced on March 21 that their son's name wasn't Wolf anymore. Nearly a year later, on January 21, Jenner announced her son's new name on Instagram alongside the first photos to show his full face. "AIRE," she captioned the photo with a heart, confirming fan theories that the name would be related to the weather after all! It's perhaps not unexpected in a family with children named after cities, directions, religious objects, and facts (True).

Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost -

Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost welcomed their first baby in August, 2021, whom they named Cosmo. A couple of months after the birth, Jost shared that his mom really struggled to accept the choice of name! She continuously checked in to confirm if they had already made the name official and signed the papers, and offered suggestions of similar names that sounded a bit more "normal." Jost recounted that she did her best to convince the to change it, once telling him, "I was reading that there's also a name Cosimo with an 'I,' so that could also be an option. Maybe Cosimo, that's his real name, but then you can call him still Cosmo." She later came up with another alternative: "There's a patron saint called Cosmos, so that's another option." Jost thanked his mom but confirmed that they're sticking with Cosmo.

These unusual celebrity baby names will surprise you

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have finally revealed their son's name...

11/05/23 | StarsInsider

CELEBRITY Babies

Celebrities have always been coming up with avant-garde names for their children. Sometimes only one of their children is graced with an original name (like Grimes and Elon Musk's son X Æ A-Xii), but, more often than not, all siblings have to endure growing up with names like Puma and Mars.

Music power couple Rihanna and A$AP Rocky had their first child in May 2022, and almost exactly a year later, we're finally finding out what they called their precious son. The 11-month-old is named RZA Athelston Mayers, according to the Daily Mail. RZA seems to be a tribute to the Wu-Tang Clan legend of the same name. A$AP Rocky's real name is Rakim Athelaston Mayers, which gives context to the rest of the baby's name. The hyper-famous couple have been extremely private about their growing family, keeping their baby RZA hidden from sight for the first seven months of his life. The details of their second pregnancy are also pretty hush-hush so far.
