Our Favorite Celebrity Baby Names — From A-Z!

Mar 26 2014 - 1:21pm

Celebs tend to take a lot of flak for the names they choose for their kids, which doesn't quite seem fair. A baby name is an incredibly personal decision and one that no new parent really wants uncensored feedback on. Our list of favorite celebrity baby names averts the negative and instead highlights 24 of our favorites. Check them out and let us know what you love (and by all means, if you can think of a great "U" or "Y" name that we missed, do share!).

Dolly

"Dolly is named after Dolly Parton, I'm a lifelong Dolly fan," Rebecca Romijn [8] told The Wendy Williams Show [9] back in 2012. "When I was 7 months pregnant, I had the opportunity to go to Dollywood and I was invited to meet her right before the show and got to talk to her. We were talking about my pregnancy and my twin girls and she asked what was I going to name them. And I just blurted out 'I'm thinking of naming one of them Dolly,' and at this point I had not even talked to Charlie about it yet. And she said, 'Oh my gosh, I would be so honored!"

Emme

Jennifer Lopez [10] and Marc Anthony [11] chose the sweet names Max and Emme for their adorable duo, born in 2008.

Willow

"The willow is my favorite tree," Pink told People shortly after Willow Sage's birth in 2011 [36]. "I grew up near one. It's the most flexible tree in nature and nothing can break it — no wind, no elements. It can bend and withstand anything. I love that sentiment. I want that for her."

Xander

If you're looking for something with a little originality, follow January Jones [38]'s lead with the Greek-derived "Xander."
