Royal Reign

Lil' Kim

Lil' Kim picked this word name combo for her new daughter. Royal is an old-school boys' name, but pairing it with Reign just gives it the feel of a Prince cover band.

Clearly, Busy Philipps likes animals. She named her first daughter Birdie, and her second daughter after the chirpy summer bug. Cute? Or too cute?

Levi Johnston

Maybe former Bristol Palin beau Levi Johnston should have stuck with the Palin clan -- he's got their knack for choosing offbeat names. Breeze isn't too bad, but naming your baby girl after a brand of weaponry seems a little odd.

Uma Thurman

A few of of the five monikers Uma Thurman burdened her youngest with aren't too bad. But really? Even a royal kid like Prince George received only three names. Reportedly, Uma calls her baby Luna, a nickname based on name number four in the progression.

Jamie Oliver

Hall of Fame celebrity baby namer Jamie Oliver doesn't skimp on whimsy. Although the first names are all decent, we're certain that Daisy may ditch the "Boo" in the middle when she's in her teen years.

Alicia Silverstone is one of three celebs with a son named Bear (Jamie Oliver and Kate Winslet are the other two). The public, however, is so far not impressed with this animal name. Only 83 kids were given it here in the United States last year.

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden did okay naming big sister Harlow Winter, but it's little brother Sparrow who kind of got the short end of the naming stick. Sparrow might be a cute name for a baby -- but we're thinking that by age 25, Sparrow's going to be going by Jimmy, rather than the name of a teeny, fluttery bird.

Soleil Moon Frye

If your name is Soleil Moon Frye, you probably aren't going to pick a name like Jane for your kids. And her name choices definitely aren't ones you'd find at your local playground. Unless, of course, you live in Hollywood.

Rachel Griffiths

This name is clearly more popular in Rachel Griffiths' home country, Australia, than it is here. There, it's the name of one of the country's most notable poets -- here, it just evokes twangy country music.

Jason Lee

Allegedly, actor Jason Lee picked this name not because he wants his kid to become a pilot (or an inspector) -- he based it on a Grandaddy song called "He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's the Pilot." Not exactly inspirational.

Picking this name helped gain actress Shannyn Sossamon some notoriety as a wild baby namer, but she eventually picked a different baby naming path: Audio's little brother got the old-fashioned pick Mortimer.
