[Opinions] Name your "celebrity" baby
We all know celebs have a tendency to go a little out there when naming their kids. So dI was just thinking it'd be fun to name our own "celeb" babies - As in, if you were famous and were going to go the route of picking something totally wacky for your kid(s), what would you name them?
I'll post mine later

I actually love Pandora. It is in my PNL, lol.
This is fun. Lately I've been liking a little more 'out there' word names and nature names, I don't know if I'll ever use them but at the moment I love them.
Fable Juniper Lark & Hawthorne Caspian Fox.
I actually have most of these names on my list but their in more balanced combo's.

I actually really like Fable, and Fox was once on my list :)
I don't generally like "wacky" names, but I think I'd name twin girls Plum and Clementine if I had to.
GP splurge! Eugh, there are so many names I love I can't use as first names...

I'd probably just go ahead and name the boy Figaro! Because YOLO
I think I'd do a phrase name for the girls. Like maybe Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds In Her Eyes Lastname. And then just Figaro.

Heh heh. There is a song by Swedish entertainer Povel Ramel (1922-2007), in which he sings (translated to English by me here):
"My mother's name was Sara Beata Johanna Elvira Johanna Katrina Carolin Gustafva Pernilla Johanna Therese Albertina Johanna....
...my father's name was Kurt."

November Lyric
Journey Aglaia
Sparrow Ezra
Boston Matthias
I know Sparrow's been done & Boston's really not that weird, but I just don't have many boys names that I like, out there or otherwise. Grover could be considered out there, but I'd use that in a second celebrity or not so I'm not sure that counts.

I have a cynical view of celebrity baby naming, so let's see. As a celebrity, I'd want to be sure to pick names that would get me free publicity every time an article on "wacky" celebrity baby names was written, so:
Herbert Pei Thunderbird
Mildred Ella-Fitzgerald Bluebonnet
Names no one in their right mind would use to show how bold I am: check.
Names that obviously reference architecture, art, or jazz to show how high brow I am: check.
Names that are OTT odd to show how special I am: check.
Mission accomplished! If nothing else, these would get me near-daily exposure on Nameberry for years.

If I had a boy, I have no idea what I would do!

If it's a celebrity baby, those are perfectly reasonable names for a boy(:
Good idea!
Pandora Mai Acacia "Panda"
Mai is pronounced "mei" not "may" because it's meant to refer to Chiang Mai and Acacia is a favourite food of African elephants.
Pomona Saba Mokara "Pomme"
Saba is seven in Swahili and Mokara is a favourite orchid.
Indiana Kabatha Karst "Indy"
Indiana is Jones, Kabatha is a friend, Karst is beautiful.
Jago Issa Chang
Jago and Issa are forms of names of good friends, Chang is elephant in Thai.
Pandora Mai Acacia "Panda"
Mai is pronounced "mei" not "may" because it's meant to refer to Chiang Mai and Acacia is a favourite food of African elephants.

I added Perdita to my list. Thanks :)
Not out there enough! These are really good. :-)
Hmmm, not out there enough. What about:
Io Atlantica or Io Atalanta
Romilly More
Masha Brontë
Lark Sévérine
Peregrine Dare (even though I like it better on a boy, it would make a bigger splash on a girl)
Tennyson North
Eugene Salamander
Maverick Rio
Humphrey Banquo
Heathcliff Mortimer (twin to Humphrey, of course - all celebrities need a pair)
?
I had fun coming up with Salamander, in case you couldn't tell. :)

Agreed!
I love Tennyson Oliver! :)

Not sure, maybe like Easter Pearl or Royal Thomas. Mostly though I wanted to share this:
I recently had a Sim who was a celebrity (who my 4 year old named Jy Bee), and he had a daughter so I named her Banana. When I told my son her name was Banana, he laughed and said, "That's not a name!" Exactly. :)

I've always thought if I was a celeb I'd use Shalom Tigerlily for a girl or maybe Lotus-Blossom Skye. I'm liking Tigerlily / Tiger-Lily at the moment, almost tempted to consider using it for real life!
For a boy Kit Lascelles Sacheverall maybe? Not very celeb-like though, just long and a bit pretentious!

I have a friend with a daughter named Tiger-Lily. I've said it so many times it seems normal to me, although I did think it was a bit out there when I first heard it.
This was Gwyneth Paltrow's argument when she got flack for Apple
Well most of my names and combos are a little out there. I'm going to come up with the ones I'd be fine actually choosing and then some I would never use but really like.
Serafina Marian Lyra, Arturus Garrett Orion, and Keiran Robert Perseus. Or Serafina Marian Lyra, Arturus Garrett Orion, and Dante Frieda Callisto (g).
Aquila Hazel Justine, Taliesin Reginald Hawk, and Kestrel Edmund Balder (b). Or Aquila Hazel Justine, Taliesin Reginald Hawk, and Kestrel Freya Elanor (g).

Love Merlin Balthazar!
I know, if only it were usable!
A bunch of my combos could probably pass for celebrity. But I'll come up with something different.
Zophielle Eupraxia Sixtine
Corbeau Petrichor Vox
Zophielle Eupraxia Sixtine
Corbeau Petrichor Vox
Not sure the average celeb is thinking as arcanely or deeply as you are........ Sixtine and Vox are spot on, though.
