North West (Kim Kardashian & Kanye West)
Power couple and tabloid fixtures Kanye West and Kim Kardashian might have out-crazied the other crazy celebrity baby names out there. The couple reportedly named their firstborn, a girl, "North." North West, get it? Haha?
Apple (Gwyneth Paltrow & Chris Martin)
When Gwyneth Paltrow gave birth to daughter Apple in 2004, the world recoiled in shock. She defended the choice later, saying she thought the name "sounded so sweet."
Destry (Steven Spielberg)
It's only fitting that Steven Spielberg, who directed 2011's War Horse, called his youngest daughter "Destry," which also means "war horse." It is of French-English origin and typically a boy's name. The moniker was used in the title of the 1939 western Destry Rides Again.
Blanket Jackson and Prince Jackson (Michael Jackson)
First there was Prince. Then there was Paris. Next came Blanket, the unfortunately-named third child of Michael Jackson.
Seven (Andre 3000)
Lucky number Seven's parents are Outkast's Andre 3000 and Erykah Badu.
Diva Zappa and Dweezil Zappa (Frank Zappa)
The late Frank Zappa and his wife, Gail, apparently thought they had boring names. So they dubbed three of their children "Diva," "Dweezil" and "Moon Unit" (not pictured).
Kyd (David Duchony & Tea Leoni)
Hey Kyd, what's with your name? The son of David Duchovny and Tea Leoni was born in June 2002, which means he's still a kid.
Jermajesty (Jermaine Jackson)
Jermaine Jackson had trouble finding a way to outdo "Blanket," so he came up with "Jermajesty."
Moxie Crimefighter (Penn Jillette)
Are we really all that surprised that quirky illusionist Penn Jillette christened his daughter "Moxie CrimeFighter"?
Ocean (Forest Whitaker)
Ocean Whitaker is the son of Forest Whitaker and wife Keisha Nash, who are also parents to three lyrically-named daughters, Autumn, True and Sonnet.
Pilot Inspektor Riesgraf (Jason Lee)
The quirkier-than-thou celebrity baby name trend began, perhaps, with Jason Lee and then-partner Beth Riesgraf, who call their son "Pilot Inspektor." Lee is said to have been inspired by the song "He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's the Pilot" from the band Grandaddy.
Blue Ivy (Beyonce & Jay-Z)
All hail Blue Ivy Carter, firstborn daughter of music royalty Jay-Z (aka Shawn Carter) and Beyonce. The little girl was born to much fanfare in January 2012, and her parents are reportedly making efforts to trademark her moniker.
