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

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.
