There is nothing more exciting than finally learning the name a celebrity has chosen for their baby.

Because these days…anythinggoes.

Brace yourself: Reddit revealed the worst baby names they’ve ever heard. Post continues below.

When Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow announced in 2004 that their daughter would be called Apple, people were shocked.

But since then, there have been many, many more interesting choices that have well surpassed that name.

So to remind you of them all, here is our definitive ranking of the wildest celebrity baby names.

18. Poet Lake

Child of: Teresa Palmer and Mark Webber

Australian actress Teresa Palmer gave birth to her daughter, Poet Lake in April 2019. Poet also has two siblings with similar nature-inspired names, Bodhi Rain and Forest Sage.

17. Apple

Child of: Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin

When discussing the thought process behind naming their first child Apple, Gwyneth told Oprah, “When we were first pregnant, her daddy said, ‘If it’s a girl I think her name should be Apple.’ It sounded so sweet, and it conjured such a lovely picture for me, you know. Apples are so sweet and they’re wholesome, and it’s biblical.”

16. Blue Ivy

Child of: Beyonce and Jay Z

After much speculation, Beyonce finally shared why the couple named their first child Blue Ivy, sharing an excerpt from Rebecca Solnit’s novel,A Field Guide to Getting Lostin 2012.

It read, “The world is blue at its edges and in its depths. This blue is the light that got lost. Light at the end blue end of the spectrum does not travel the whole distance from the sun to us.

“It disperses among the molecules of the air, it scatters in the water. Water is colourless, shallow water appears to be the colour of whatever lies underneath it, but deep water is full of this scattered light, the purer the water the deeper the blue.

“The sky is blue for the same reason, but the blue at the horizon, the blue of the land that seems to be dissolving into the sky, is a deeper, dreamier, melancholy blue, the blue at the farthest reaches of the places where you see for miles, the blue of distance. This light does not touch us, does not travel the whole distance, the light that gets lost, gives us the beauty of the world, so much of which is in the colour blue.”

And apparently, Ivy refers to the roman numerals IV, that is sentimental to both Beyonce and Jay Z.

So, there you go.

15. Rocket Zot

Child of: Sam Worthington and Lara Bingle

Lara and Sam Worthington’s first son’s name Rocket Zot is strange but honestly, quite cool.

When discussing their choice of name after receiving backlash, Lara wrote on social media, “My sons [sic] middle name IS a respectful nod to my late father, whose nickname was affectionately, Zot.”

He also has a brother named Racer.

14. Reign

Child of: Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick

As you will see on this list, the Kardashian family always surprise us with their baby name choices.

Kourtney Kardashian named her third child, Reign Aston.

She told People, “I’m never certain [with names] until they’re born. I actually had the name on our list with Mason and with Penelope. I had it on the list but spelled R-A-I-N.”

Reign has two older siblings, a brother named Mason Dash and a sister, Penelope Scotland.
