Bizarre celebrity baby names always grab the headlines, but not every baby in Hollywood has one. In fact, some celebs are gotten really creative with their children’s names — and we love what they came up with! While these celebrity baby names aren’t so odd they’re awful, they’re definitely not traditional (although tradition has its place as celebs like Anne Hathaway have shown us; she named her son Jonathan).

And here’s the thing: If you think you felt a lot of pressure when trying to come up with your kid’s name, try adding fame and paparazzi to the mix.

Whether you’re looking for inspiration for your future baby’s name, or you just feel like checking out a really good list of awesome names that famous actors, musicians, and fashionistas have chosen for their offspring, we’ve got ’em right here. What’s your favourite one out of these celebrity baby names?

Bronx Mowgli Wentz

Celebrity Parents: Actress/singer Ashlee Simpson and ex-husband, Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz

Presumably fans of New York’s northern most borough, as well as Rudyard Kipling’s literary classic, The Jungle Book (or maybe just the Disney movie version).

Egypt Daoud Dean

This celeb kiddo’s middle name is the Arabic form of David, so why not pair it with something totally out there ... like Egypt?

Ever Imre Morissette-Treadway

Celebrity Parents: Canadian singer/songwriter Alanis Morissette, and husband, rapper Souleye

In case you were wondering (I was), Ever is a boy’s name, and Imre is one seriously tough sounding Hungarian name.

Harlow Madden

Celebrity Parents: Fashion designer Nicole Richie and husband, Good Charlotte frontman, Joel Madden

Conjuring up images of Hollywood vixen Gene Harlow, this is a name mama Nicole apparently liked so much that she used it twice---once for her daughter, and again for her fashion line House of Harlow 1960.

Harper Seven Beckham

Celebrity Parents: Former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham and soccer star, David Beckham

This British power couple chose unique hipster first names, and then went traditional for the boys middle names -- Brooklyn Joseph, Romeo James, and Cruz David -- but then switched it up for their daughter.
