This year’s celebrity babies have the coolest names

It’s safe to say that celebrities have often been quick to embrace the avant-garde when it comes to baby names. Over the past year, we’ve seen a roster of 2023 celebrity baby names as unique, bold, and eclectic as the stars themselves. From monikers inspired by nature (Hazel Bee) to those echoing far-off galaxies (Techno Mechanicus), our favorite celebrities have once again reminded us that when it comes to naming their progeny, creativity knows no bounds. 

Whether you’re looking for timeless yet gender-neutral classics like Charlie, or leaning toward the unique and picturesque like Adira River or Capri Summer, or paying homage to cultural influences with names like Luai or Aveena Kay, choosing a baby name carries a big weight. Whether you go contemporary or traditional, bold or understated—or some combination therein, is your call.
