A lot of celebrities don’t use their real names, opting for something catchier and more stage-friendly.

Yet when it comes to picking names for their children, they often have very real and very weird ideas. Here are 15 celebrities who went a bit overboard — some of them, more than once.
Heiress, King, Heiress, Messiah, Domani, Deyjah

T.I. promised us to do “Whatever You Like,” but when it comes to picking names for his children, the Atlanta-born rapper likes to do all the work by himself. He’s got six kids and one adopted stepdaughter, and he did get very creative with his babies' name. We still can’t pick whether we like Heiress or Messiah more.

When actor Rob Morrow, the star of early '90s dramedy Northern Exposure, announced that his daughter with actress Debbon Ayer will be named Tu (making her full name Tu Morrow), we all thought it was just a bad joke. But it wasn’t…

Apparently, Gwen Stefani got the idea to name her son Zuma from No Doubt member Tom Dumont. She loved it so much that she convinced her bandmate to gift her the name, later saying that she wanted her son “to have a little bit of a quirky name.” Your wish came true, Gwen.

While we do support a lot of Alicia Keys’ creative and personal choices, we’re still having hard time wrapping our minds around the reasoning behind calling her son from Swizz Beatz Egypt. And she didn’t even continue the “countries game,” since her second son is named Genesis Ali.

Ever thought that sharing a household with a comedian may not be the most fun experience? What about when said comedian is your father, meaning he's responsible for picking your very name? We’re sure Pilot Inspektor is going to have a very serious talk one day with his dad Jason Lee. And we don’t think that Pilot will be pleased to learn that he owes his names to Grandaddy’s song “He’s Simple, He’s Dumb, He’s the Pilot.”

Back when Shannyn Sossamon announced her pregnancy in 2003, she stated that she didn’t feel ready to become a mother. That fact is ever so evident by the name she and her boyfriend Dallas Clayton picked for their son: Audio Science.

Looks like British superstar chef Jamie Oliver got a bit carried away with picking names for his exquisite dishes and decided to use the same strategy when it was time to choose a name for his son. Oliver later told the press that the name was picked by his wife Jools.

Another quirky British name on our list, courtesy of model Katie Price, who is not exactly famous for being modest. The British public is used to seeing her with minimum clothes on, yet Price decided to use maximum syllables for her daughter’s name. And she also proclaimed her a princess, which kind of works since Price is a queen of reality TV.
Apple

That’s what you get when your parents are so into organic living and their smoothie ways. Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin decided to name their daughter Apple because the word was “sweet,” “wholesome,” “lovely” and “biblical.” Thank god they didn’t search for other baby name options in the Bible.
Sunday Rose

Nicole Kidman told Oprah that she and her husband Keith Urban picked the name Sunday for their daughter because they… both love Sundays since “it’s a beautiful day.” We can think of a lot of beautiful things in life but that doesn't mean we're going to name our children after them.
Denim

Perhaps Toni Braxton was thinking far ahead when she was exploring the options for her son’s name and dreamt up a modeling career for him? With a name like Denim, he’ll be the king of every mall. And guess what? She named her second son Diezel.
Bronx Mowgli

Remember the days when Ashlee Simpson was “happening”? We do miss her wild ways. Back in 2008 she named her son from Pete Wentz Bronx Mowgli. She didn’t stop marrying musicians and picking outrageous baby names: in 2015 she gave birth to Jagger Snow from Evan Ross (Diana Ross’ son).
Pirate

When your dad is the frontman of Korn and a serial killer fanatic and your mom is a former porno star, you’re expected to have a riot of a name. So no one blinked an eye when Jonathan and Deven Davis named their children Pirate and Zeppelin.
Rebel, Racer, Rogue and Rocket

Robert Rodriguez just loves the letter R. He also likes giving his sons obnoxious names as if they were racing cars or horses. Do you think his kids will ever go rogue or rebel against their dad?
North West

Of course we couldn’t leave this one out. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s daughter’s name sounded like a (semi-funny) joke. But when we realized they were actually serious, it was already too late. The power couple admitted that it did start as a joke, but Anna Wintour convinced them to keep the name. The power of Vogue!
