Parents think of their children as the most beautiful, the smartest and the most unique human beings. It all starts before they are even born, when parents sit down to find the most fitting name for the new life they are bringing to the world. They might search for a name with a special meaning or with a nice sound to it. Recently it has become quite popular to create names or choose words that are not usually considered to be human names.
This trend is equally common among regular and famous parents. People still can’t forget how Elon Musk’s son’s name reminded them of a password. However, even though unconventional names might seem odd at first, some celebrities had quite cute ideas and we collected the ones that actually sound cool.

#25 Geri Halliwell And Sacha Gervasi's Daughter Is Named Bluebell Madonna
Bluebell Madonna is already 16 years old and her name has a beautiful story. Her mom, former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, shared that the last few weeks of her pregnancy, she saw a lot of bluebells blooming when she went on a walk in the park. Then her own mother told her that the flower was actually rare, so the name of this precious flower seemed right for her future baby.
The middle name was carefully picked as well. The mom explained, “As she came out of my tummy, Bluebell had both arms wide in the air as if announcing, 'Hi, I'm here.' She was screaming her head off, as though she was shouting, 'Hello Wembley!' No one else has that name, apart from the Virgin Madonna and the singer, who I love."

I picked Aurora because it’s my favorite Disney princess, but also because it is a word I heard a lot in Alaska where I grew up.”
