Christina Aguilera's name for her son "not weird"

I love, love Xtina’s baby’s name, “Max Liron Bratman” — it’s so manly and yet “not weird” in the world of weird names for celeb babies! Did you know that “Liron” means “song of joy” in Hebrew? Apparently Xtina named her son “Liron” to pay homage to husband, Jordan Bratman’s jewish heritage. How sweet! And I find it appropriate given that Xtina’s love for songs/music :-)

Let us go and reminisce the not so usual names given by other celebrities to their babies:

The Beckhams were publicly criticised when they chose to name their first son Brooklyn – apparently it was where he was conceived.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin also came under scrutiny when they opted to call their daughter Apple. Furthering the fruit front, we wonder what the meaning was behind Peaches (the daughter of the late Paula Yates and Bob Geldof). What was wrong with Jane, James, Louise or even Stephen?

Moon Unit (Frank and Gail Zappa’s son)

Daisy Boo (Jamie and Jools Oliver’s daughter)

Willow Camille Reign (Will and Jada Pinkett Smith’s daughter)

Other unusual celeb baby names after the jump

Bluebell Madonna – Geri Halliwell

Tallulah Belle – Demi Moore and Bruce Wilis

Fuchsia - Sting (My gawd, imagine being called ‘Fuchsia’!)

Phoenix Chi – Mel C and Jimmy Gulzar

Satchel – Woody Allen and Mia Farrow

Hopper
– Sean Penn and Robin Wright

Sage Moonblood – Sylvester Stallone and Sasha Czack

Diva Muffin – Frank and Gail Zappa

Banjo – Patrick and Rachel Griffiths

Maddox – adopted by Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt (hmmm, this one I like actually!)

Tiger Lily Heavenly Hirani – Paula Yates and Michael Hutchence

Free – David Carradine and Barbara Hershey

Gulliver – Gary Oldman

Poppy Honey – Jamie and Jools Oliver (it seemed like the couple was high on something when they named their baby, Poppy!)

Memphis Eve – Bono (from U2)

Romeo – The Beckhams

Princess Tiaamii – Katie Price (aka Jordan) and Peter Andre

Leaf - Arlyn and John Phoenix

Starlite Melody – Marisa Berenson

Zola Ivy – Eddie Murphy and Nicole Mitchell

And to top it all, George Foreman (Ex Boxing champion) had seven children. Five of his boys were named George and his two daughters were Georgetta and Freeda George. Whatever next.
