Celebrity naming style?
What is an A-listers naming style and is there such a thing? Here’s a list of celebrities that had babies in the past year (siblings are in the brackets), so what do you think?
As always, you can comment on the names themselves:-)
And which ones do you think will become the next Ava, Coco, Violet, etc?
Adam & Jackie Sandler: Sunny Madeline (Sadie Madison) Amy Poehler & Will Arnett: Archibald 'Archie' William Emerson Caroline Rhea & Costaki Economopoulos: Ava Rhea Billie Piper& Laurence Fox: Winston James Gillian Anderson & Mark Griffiths: Felix (Oscar, Piper Maru)Lisa Marie Presley & Michael Lockwood: Finley & Harper (Danielle Riley, Benjamin Storm)Dermot Mulroney & Tharita: Mabel Ray (Clyde)Marisol Nichols & Taron Lexton: Rain India Vin Diesel & Paloma Jimenez: Hania RileyMark Wahlberg & Rhea Durham: Brendan Joseph (Michael, Ella Rae)Joely Fisher & Christopher Duddy: Olivia Luna (Skylar Grace, True Harlow, Collin, Cameron)Princess Märtha Louise of Norway & Ari Behn: Emma Tallulah Behn (Maud Angelica, Leah Isadora)Byron Allen & Jennifer Lucas: Chloe Ava Laila Ali & Curtis Conway: Curtis Muhammad (Cameron, Kelton, Leilani)Minnie Driver: Henry Story Tony Dovolani & Lina: Adrian Driton & Ariana (Luana)Jack Black & Tanya: Thomas David (Samuel Jason)Diane Farr & Seung Chung: Sawyer Lucia & Coco Trinity (Beckett Mancuso)Alessandra Ambrosio & Jamie Mazur: Anja Louise Gwen Stefani & Gavin Rossdale: Zuma Nesta Rock (Kingston James McGregor)Matt & Luciana Damon: Gia Zavala (Isabella, Alexia)Busy Philipps & Marc Silverstein: Birdie LeighClay Aiken & Jaymes Foster: Parker Foster Tim Burton & Helena Bonham Carter: Nell (Billy Ray)Galen Gering & Jenna: Jensen (Dillon Phoenix)Mary Lynn Rajskub & Matthew Rolph: Valentine AnthonyKyle MacLachlan & Desiree Gruber: Callum LyonMartie & Gareth Maguire: Harper Rosie (Eva Ruth & Kathleen 'Katie' Emilie)Marissa Jaret Winokur & Judah Miller: Zev IsaacEthan Hawke & Ryan Shawhughes: Clementine Jane (Maya Ray, Levon Roan)Jessica Alba & Cash Warren: Honor Marie Ingo Rademacher & Ehiku: Peanut KaiKathleen Robertson & Chris Cowles: William Robertson Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt: Knox Léon & Vivienne Marcheline (Maddox Chivan, Pax Thien, Zahara Marley, Shiloh Nouvel)Gabriela Spanic & Neil Perez: Gabriel de JesúsMatthew McConaughey & Camila Alves: Levi Alves Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban: Sunday Rose (Isabella Jane, Connor Antony)Chantal Kreviazuk & Raine Maida: Salvador 'Sal' Daniel (Rowan Michael, Lucca Jon)Tori Spelling & Dean McDermott: Stella Doreen (Liam Aaron, Jack)Tamzin Outhwaite & Tom Ellis: Florence Elsie (Nora)Jamie Lynn Spears & Casey Aldridge: Maddie BriannUlrika Jonsson & Brian Monet: Malcolm Charles Trip (Cameron Oskar George, Bo Eva Coeur, Martha Sky Hope)Jodie Sweetin & Cody Herpin: Zoie Laurelmae Sean Patrick Thomas & Aonika Laurent Thomas: Lola JolieNancy Kerrigan & Jerry Solomon: Nicole Elizabeth (Clay, Matthew, Brian)Angela Kinsey & Warren Lieberstein: Isabel RubyEdie Falco: Macy (Anderson)Alex Rodriguez & Cynthia: Ella Alexander (Natasha Alexander)Sarah & Todd Palin: Trig Paxson Van (Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper)Cate Blanchett & Andrew Upton: Ignatius Martin (Dashiell John, Roman Robert)Lukas Podolski & Monika: Louis Prince Philippe of Belgium & Princess Mathilde: Eléonore Fabiola Victoria Anne Marie (Elisabeth, Gabriel,Emmanuel)Elisabeth Röhm & Ron Wooster: Easton August (g)Brendan Fehr & Jen: James Olivia (g)Brooke Burke & David Charvet: Shaya Braven (Neriah, Sierra Sky, Heaven Rain)Sheree Murphy & Harry Kewell: Matilda (Taylor, Ruby Heather Toni)Marc Anthony & Jennifer Lopez: Emme Maribel & Maximilian David (Arianna, Cristian, Ryan)Soleil Moon Frye & Jason Goldberg: Jagger Joseph Blue (g)(Poet Sienna Rose)Halle Berry & Gabriel Aubry: Nahla Ariela Gretchen Mol & Tod 'Kip' Williams: Ptolemy John Melissa Joan Hart & Mark Wilkerson: Braydon ‘Brady’ Hart (Mason Walter)Zlatan Ibrahimovic & Helena: Vincent (Maximilian)Jeri Ryan & Christophe Emé: Gisele Lynn (Alex)Kim Clijsters & Brian Lynch: Jada EllieVincent D'Onofrio & Carin Van Der Donk: Luca (Elias Gene, Leila George)Petr Cech & Martina: Adela John C.

I can see three trends:-completely new and unique names (Kingston, Zuma, Rock, Nahla, Avis, Hania, Story, Peanut, Trig, Track, Braven, etc.)-names we’ve all heard, but have never (or very rarely) met anyone with this name (Sunday, Honor, Nesta, Knox, Ignatius, Ptolemy,
Orion, Shaya, Archibald, Birdie, Zev, Valentine, etc.)-common, even boring and overused names (Madison, Emma, Olivia, Henry, Thomas David, Brendan Joseph, Ava, etc.)And of course, honouring is as popular among the rich and famous as it is in the general population (Honor MARIE, Sunday ROSE, KNOX Léon, Vivienne MARCHELINE, CURTIS MUHAMMAD, SAWYER Lucia, Stella DOREEN, Emme MIRABEL, Maximilian DAVID, Braydon HART, Orion CHRISTOPHER, Bailey LINDA Olwyn, etc.)
Disclaimer: I know some of these are not strictly ‘A-listers’, but I mentioned people that: I like / are popular even in Croatia / the ones I think will influence future naming trends with their children’s names.
If there any others you feel should be on the list, just mention it in your post and I’ll add them.
