The superstar couple continues to keep the silence as fans further speculate the significance behind the name of their first-born daughter, Blue Ivy Carter. “Ivy” coincidently breaks down into IV-y, or the fourth Roman numeral, a cypher important to the singer (her birthday, wedding day). “Blue” seems to be the father’s choice as the color is reflected in many of his musical albums.

Kyd Duchovny, son of Tea Leoni and David Duchovny rings a lot like “kid,” which could definitely pose as a problem in the future when his partner badgers him for being too immature.

The singer names her sons Denim and Diesel. Denim because the originally chosen Denham was too strange for her liking, while Diesel was dad's way of honoring German inventor and engineer Rudolf Diesel; father of the diesel engine.

“Fifi” and “Trixibelle” aren’t really top choices for new parents.  The exception however is actor and musician Bob Geldof, who thought nothing of it when he named his first daughter Fifi Trixibelle Geldof. Trixie was the name of the popular children’s toy My Little Pony.

The star of the reality television program The Real World: San Francisco, dubbed his son Bogart Che Peyote, an apparent fusion of actor Humphrey Bogart and the revolutionary Che Guevara.  Peyote on the other hand, is a cactus plant with psychoactive properties used by indigenous Americans to speak with their gods. Anyone who witnessed Puck on The Real World knows that he surely has a connection to the beyond.

Actor Rob Morrow was feeling creative when he named his daughter one of the most peculiar names around. Her full name is Tu Simone Ayer Morrow, but by removing two of the four, what remains is Tu Morrow, homonym which spells “mañana (tomorrow),” ironic since it pairs alongside the Spanish word for yesterday, “Ayer.”
