In recent years, the increasing popularity of unusual baby names has caught the public’s attention. From Gwyneth Paltrow’s daughter, Apple, to Elon Musk’s son, X Æ A-12, many people look forward to the reveal of celebrities’ baby names.
The term “nepo baby” is short for nepotism baby, which means a person’s importance is rooted in their parents’ success. This title has recently gained widespread use thanks to many social media posts.
This subject raises the question, why are celebrities choosing such strange names for their children? Has the separation from a normal life brainwashed them into thinking they’re normal? The answer is clear: celebrities want to remain relevant.
When celebrities feel like they need a boost of attention, they can simply name their child something that will turn heads. Unfortunately for the kids, their name is something they have to live with whether they like it or not, just to temporarily give people something to talk about.
That being said, here are some of the most out-there nepo baby names:
- Saga Blade (Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly)
- Techno Mechanicus (Elon Musk and Grimes)
- North West (Kim Kardashian and Kanye West)
- Aire (Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott)
- Pilot Inspektor (Beth Riesgraf and Jason Lee)
- Petal Blossom Rainbow (Juliette Norton and Jamie Oliver)
- Bear Blaze (Kate Winslet and Edward Abel Smith)
- Audio Science (Shannyn Sossamon and Dallas Clayton)
- Diva Thin Muffin (Adelaide Gail Zappa and Frank Zappa)
- Jupiter Seaborn (Ed Sheeran and Cherry Seaborn)
So, did any of these potentially attention-seeking celebrities catch your eye? In my opinion, if celebrities are that desperate for relevancy, they shouldn’t resort to naming their children something humiliating just to make a headline for a few weeks.
The question is, how do we stop this insanity? What if we just don’t? We need to stop prioritizing other people’s lives and instead focus on our own. It is important to note that it’s in our human nature to be curious about what other people are up to; however, we need to be fully involved in what is happening in our lives to be present in every moment.
If we all make an effort to ignore those who prioritize their significance over their kid’s feelings, we might be able to solve the nepo baby name madness, while also finding some joy in focusing on what really matters.
