Weird Celebrity Baby Names Rated By How Normal They Seem Now

Kris Jenner finally spilled the beans this morning vis a vis the name of her brand new grandson: On the Ellen show, the momager proudly told the audience that Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott's brand new baby boy is named Wolf Webster - adding to a long line of slightly unusual names for the Kardashian-Jenner clan.

Look, if you say any word enough in any context, it's bound to sound normal eventually. That's how language works. You ever think of how stupidly simple the word "movie" is? It's literally just called that because somebody was like "oh wow! That's a picture that moves!" We're lucky they're not still called talkies.

Celebrity baby names kind of follow that same rule - they sound totally weird at first, but the more you hear them spoken, the more normalized it becomes - and then, sooner or later, other people pick the names too. (Don't forget, also, that a lot of other cultures use words as names a lot more often than English-speaking ones do.)

And, just to show you we're not picking on the celebs here: We know it's not just celebrity babies this happens with. Madison was just the last name of a President until the mermaid in Splash told Tom Hanks to call her that. That was the 80s. I have a sister named Madison who was born in the 90s. There were five other Madisons in her elementary school class.

Still, some of these names seem more destined for widespread popularity than others, which seem more likely to remain one-of-a-kind: Here's some of the most out-there baby names, rated on a scale of 1 to 10 for how normal they seem now.

(Yes, there are, in fact, a lot of Kardashian-related babies on this list. There are kind of a lot of them in general now. But we promise there are others too.)

North West

Parents: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West

Name Normalcy Rating: 7

Resaoning: North is still an unusual name, but we've all heard it so much at this point that it almost seems like it could puncture mainstream baby name lists. Her parents also call her Nori, which is adorable, despite the fact that it is also a kind of fish.

Saint West

Parents: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West

Name Normalcy Rating: 8

Resaoning: Not the first celebrity baby named Saint. Saint Wentz (Pete Wentz's son) is a year older than him.

Chicago West

Parents: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West

Name Normalcy Rating: 7

Resaoning: A bit out of the ordinary, but naming children after cities has long been a thing, and Chicago is a big enough city with a significant enough culture that using it as a name shouldn't raise that many eyebrows.

Stormi Webster

Parents: Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott

Name Normalcy Rating: 9

Resaoning: Stormi was a somewhat strange choice at first, but it's grown on us over time - plus the name Stormy Daniels was in the news for so long that people are definitely used to hearing it by now. (Never mind that she was a porn star in the news talking about an affair she had with Trump.)

Wolf Webster

Parents: Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott

Name Normalcy Rating: 7

Resaoning: This is new, and a little weird, and if a regular parent had named their kid this the kid would definitely have been made fun of a little bit. But in a few years when we're all used to it, we'll probably agree that Wolf is kinda a badass names. Plus, it's not like the name Wolfgang doesn't already exist. If anything, that's weirder.

Psalm West

Parents: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West

Name Normalcy Rating: 6

Resaoning: It does sound like a name, but anyone who grew up going to church every Sunday is gonna feel some type of way when they hear it. (Plus, I can't not hear John Mulaney's voice going "'oh, you're gonna sing a song?' 'yeah it's a psalm...'"

True Thompson

Parents: Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson

Name Normalcy Rating: 10

Resaoning: This isn't the most usual name in the world, but it's been arund for a while: Keke Palmer's character True Jackson existed, for one thing, plus True Whitaker, daughter of Forest Whitaker and Keisha Nash Whitaker, also had it first. (She's 23.)

Dream Renee Kardashian

Parents: Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna

Name Normalcy Rating: 7

Resaoning: It's a little out there, but Dream is a pretty cool name for a little girl. Plus, if she hates it, they gave her an out with the middle name Renee.

Reign Aston Disick

Parents: Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick

Name Normalcy Rating: 8

Resaoning: Reign is a fine enough name to say out loud, but most people spell it Rain or Rainn. Still, there's a power to 'Reign' that we can't deny.

Ireland Baldwin

Parents: Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger

Name Normalcy Rating: 6

Resaoning: Naming your kid after a place is fine, but picking one with the word "land" right in it is a little strange. You could have named her Erin. The names litreally mean the same thing.

Bronx Wentz

Parents: Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson

Name Normalcy Rating: 8

Resaoning: Brooklyn is a pretty normal name, to be fair, despite being an obvious place name - but Brooke and Lynn are also both names on their own. Still, any name with an X in it immediately gets a points boost for being cool, and Bronx is easy to say anyway.

Marvel Jane Wentz

Parents: Pete Wentz and Meagan Camper

Name Normalcy Rating: 6

Resaoning: Unfortunately, this name has gotten weirder with the rise of the MCU. The poor kid probably turns her head in public fifty times every time a new trailer drops. We hope she at least likes Marvel movies.

X Æ A-12

Parents: Elon Musk and Grimes 

Name Normalcy Rating: 0

Resaoning: This name wasn't even legal. Literally. California Law made them change it twice: Once to X Æ A-XII, because numbers weren't allowed, and then again to X AE A-XII, which is somehow still unpronouncable. Their resoning behind it also made very little sense.

Sparrow James Midnight

Parents: Joel Madden and Nicole Richie

Name Normalcy Rating: 6

Resaoning: Sparrow would have been cool on its own - though it is worth noting that I once gave that name to a Dungeons and Dragons character. But adding Midnight onto the end instead of using either of their last names? That made the name a little weirder. And I think putting James in the middle is almost even weirder than that. It's like this name is somehow written in three different fonts.

Apple Martin

Parents: Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow

Name Normalcy Rating: 6

Resaoning: Considering it's Gwyneth Paltrow's daughter, it could have been way worse. Apple honestly sounds kinda quaint at this point.

Blue Ivy

Parents: Beyonce and Jay-Z

Name Normalcy Rating: 8

Resaoning: This name would be a nine just because of the fact that it's literally everywhere, so famous are her parents - but Blue is still also the name of the dog in Blue's Clues, and I could never unhear that when saying the kid's name.

Cosmo Jost

Parents: Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost

Name Normalcy Rating: 9

Resaoning: Cosmo is a completely normal name. Mostly. But because of The Fairly OddParents, in my mind's eye, Scarlett Johansson gave birth to a child with green hair and wings.

Gravity Smith

Parents: Lucky Blue Smith and Stormi Bree

Name Normalcy Rating: 4

Resaoning: Gravity is an interesting name, but it's not the easiest word to say, and there really aren't any good nicknames you can get out of it either.

Kal-El Cage

Parents: Nicolas Cage and Alice Kim

Name Normalcy Rating: 5

Resaoning: THIS IS SO NERDY. This is the birth name of Clark Kent, AKA DC's Superman. It's honestly not the worst thing you could do to a kid - at least he could go by Kal or El. (Or Clark, if he really wanted to be cheeky.)

Pilot Inspektor Lee

Parents: Jason Lee and Beth Riesgraf

Name Normalcy Rating: 5

Resaoning: So Pilot is a kinda cool name, like Scout or something, but it doesn't make any sense next to Inspektor, especially spelled like that. Why a k?

Sunday Molly

Parents: Mike Myers and Kelly Tisdale

Name Normalcy Rating: 6

Resaoning: This rating would have been a 7 - thanks to The Addams Family, day-of-the-week names are at all unheard of - but Sunday Molly sounds like a drug name.

Kulture Kiari

Parents: Cardi B and Offset

Name Normalcy Rating: 7

Resaoning: Kulture has become a more normal name simply by virtue of us hearing it so much, and Kulture Kiari works very well as a full name.

Bear Blu

Parents: Christopher Jarecki and Alicia Silverstone

Name Normalcy Rating: 9

Resaoning: A badass name for a little boy - and the same first name as Ned Rocknroll and Kate Winslet's son, Bear Blaze, who was born a few years later. Clearly a trendsetting name.

Sonnet Whitaker

Parents: Forest Whitaker and Keisha Nash Whitaker

Name Normalcy Rating: 6

Resaoning: Sonnet is a strange name, but a very pretty one, and it kinda has that name sound to it.

Moroccan Cannon

Parents: Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey

Name Normalcy Rating: 3

Resaoning: Moroccan is a pretty strange name - even Morocco would have been better.

Think about introducing yourself: "I'm Moroccan." That's a "Who's on First" sketch waiting to happen. Plus, his last name is Cannon, so his full name is just... "a cannon that belongs to/was made in Morocco."

Fuschia

Parents: Sting and Frances Tomelty

Name Normalcy Rating: 11

Resaoning: As a name, this slaps. It's got so much uumph behind it. It calls to mind a bright color. And it really does roll of the tongue just like other names do.

Moon Unit Zappa

Parents: Frank Zappa and Adelaide Gail Zappa

Name Normalcy Rating: 3

Resaoning: At least the kid can still go by Moon, which is a more normal-sunding name by comparison.

Dweezil Zappa

Parents: Frank Zappa and Adelaide Gail Zappa

Name Normalcy Rating: 2

Resaoning: Why on earth would you do this to a child. It sounds like an insult related to the word 'dweeb.'

He seems to have made the most of it though, at least - he became a musician, if he wanted to change it, he could have.

Diva Thin Muffin Zappa

Parents: Frank Zappa and Adelaide Gail Zappa

Name Normalcy Rating: 1

Resaoning: This is like one of those default WiFi passwords that comes printed on the box when you get it. It's just three random words.
