"Moon or Motörhood were the two original contenders, and Unit was chosen because, as the eldest, Moon’s birth symbolized the family as a unit," reports Vogue. "Dweezil actually began as a pet name coined by Zappa for his wife’s pinky toe and was later adapted for their son. However, the hospital refused to register Dweezil under that name, so it remained a nickname (born Ian Donald Calvin Euclid) until he insisted on legally changing it at the age of five."
Ahmet — the odd one out — doesn't have an odd name at all. His is a common Turkish and Muslim name, and was a tribute to the co-founder of Atlantic Records, Ahmet Ertegun. As for Diva, her name was reportedly chosen because she was a rather vocal baby.
Thankfully, despite some really odd baby names, most people are still settling for fairly normal names. The Social Security Administration (SSA) released its annual list of the most popular names in the United States recently. They're based on babies born and named in 2025.
For girls, the top 5 are Olivia, Charlotte, Emma, Amelia and Sophia. The most popular baby boy names are Liam, Noah, Oliver, Theodore and Henry. Rather cute if you ask us. And definitely a whole lot easier to pronounce than X Æ A-12!
