In a year that has been so difficult, it is beautiful to see families growing and babies being born into the world. And sometimes, those babies are born to celebrity parents.
A celebrity baby name can spark a trend or spark snark (remember when every man on late-night television made fun of Gwyneth Paltrow for naming her baby Apple? Or when Kim K and Kanye named their kids and the same thing happened? )
This article isn’t about that. This a judgment-free zone. We are presenting the celebrity baby names of 2020 for other parents to peruse and consider, but we don’t believe in mocking name choices (you hear that, late-night hosts?).
A baby’s name is something parents put a lot of thought into, and here are a bunch we can’t stop thinking about in 2020:
Cameron Diaz + Benji Madden’s name pick: Raddix
Raddix’s birth announcement shocked the world because most people were not aware Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden were expecting. The announcement was thrilling and so is the name.
Ciara and Russell Wilson’s name pick: Win
The name Ciara and Russell Wilson picked for their baby boy is something a lot of us needed in 2020. He’s a Win.
Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry’s name pick: Daisy
Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry named their daughter Daisy and how could you not with the last name Bloom?
Brie Bella and Daniel Bryan’s name pick: Buddy
Brie Bella’s youngest is called Buddy (which is perfect because her 3-year -old is called Birdie).
Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev’s name pick: Matteo
Birdie and Buddy got a cousin this year, too, baby Matteo.
Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger’s name pick: Lyla
The Avengers star and The Arnold’s daughter named their 2020 baby Lyla, which sounds great next to Jack, Pratt’s older son’s name.
Ed Sheeran and Cherry Seaborn’s name pick: Lyra
One letter removed from Pratt and Schwarzenegger’s pick, Ed Sheehan and Cherry Seaborn named their baby Lyra, which is so beautiful, too.
Alec and Hilaria Baldwin’s name pick: Eduardo
Baby number five for Alec and Hilaria Baldwin is Eduardo, who joins Romeo, Leonardo, Rafael, and Carmen as well as Alec’s oldest, 25-year-old Ireland.
Ashlee Simpson and Evan Ross’s name pick: Ziggy Blu Ross
Ashlee Simpson named her newest arrival Ziggy, which goes so well with older siblings Jagger and Bronx.
Ashley Graham and Justin Ervin’s name pick: Isaac
Ashley Graham and Justin Ervin named their first child Isaac, a name that saw it’s peak popularity in 2013.
Jenna Dewan and Steve Kazee’s name pick: Callum
Callum is a much less popular name than Isaac, but has seen a faster rise on the Social Security Administration’s charts.
Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert’s name pick: Rue
Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert chose Rue for their little girl. It’s a classic name that was featured in The Hunger Games trilogy.
Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova’s name pick: Mary
Speaking of classic names, Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova went with Mary for their daughter and you can’t get much more classic than that.
America Ferrera and Ryan Piers Williams’s name pick: Lucia
Lucia is America Ferrera’s youngest, joining brother Sebastian.
Anderson Cooper’s name pick: Wyatt
Anderson Cooper named his son Wyatt, after his own dad, but the name has been rising steadily over the last 20 years so it’s likely to be even more popular in 2021 thanks to Cooper.
Elon Musk and Grimes’ name pick: X Æ A-Xii
And, the most talked about baby name of 2020 was X Æ A-Xii, chosen for the son of Elon Musk and Grimes. The name taught us all about which characters the state of California will accept in baby names.
