Suppose you were a celebrity and wanted to name your kid something crazy as they seem to so often do. What would you pick? An object? Adjective? Apparently anything goes...

Here's mine...

Boy: Dirigible Spork
Girl: Sunsette Evian (With sunset intentionally spelled wrong. haha)

Of course, I'd never really do this. ;)

I don't know, I think I'd be torn between the Greek Mythology theme (Apollo, Calliope, Artemis) and the round noun theme (Cinnamon, Ocean, Storm).

I actually have Calliope in my non-famous name category. mostly as a mn, but it's still there... :)

Actually...so do I. As a first name. I think a kid could certainly do worse.

Kiwi, for a girl. Definitely, I love it. I almost like it now for a middle name, but if I was famous, it'd front and center. Kiwi Story and Alabama Odysseus.

Girl: Theory Elizabeth (I LOVE the sound of the word "theory," but I'd never actually use it.)
Boy: ...I have no idea.

Antithesis! Go for the set!

Oooh, if you have three they could be Theory (or Thesis), Antithesis, and Synthesis!

What would the 4th be? Hegel?

Definitely Schism Aurelius for a boy.

Spelling that word makes me happy. The idea of naming a child after the Great Schism makes me even happier.

Probably something from a sci fi novel, show or movie.
Like:
Caprica
Helo
Dresden
Agathon
Hera

Something like that. :)

I think if I was famous, I would just give my kids longer than normal names as opposed to straight-up weird.

i.e. Elliott Heath Jacob Christopher Evan James Killian A-----
or Anastasia Michele Evangeline Raine Iris Cordelia A----- (notice it even spells something?)

Payne, I absolutely adore this name and would totally use it if I didn't know he would be teased in school. If I were a rich celebrity though, he'd be the cool kid called Payne :-P

easy!

girl: pippa sweet - this was my absolute favorite name for years, but i have since realized that its not the kindest name, and probably wont age all that well if she grows up to be anything other than an artist or something.

for a boy, i dont know.

i've always wanted to name a girl Catastrophe, but i don't even think taht would be acceptable for a celeb. i just think it's one of the prettiest words i've ever heard. and Cat could be a normal, nice nickname.
