Baby names: alternative suggestions | Alternative boys names | Alternative girls' names

Average rating:

One of the most popular ways of finding different names is looking at what celebs call their children.

But most of us already know the likes of Apple and Moses (Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin), Daisy and Poppy (Jamie and Jools Oliver) or Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz (David and Victoria Beckham), so perhaps it's time to look a little further afield.

We've chosen 5 of the most interesting and come up with some other suggestions based on their choice.

Alaia - Stephen Baldwin

The less well-known of the Baldwin acting family took his daughter's name from the fashion designer Azzedine Alaia.
More suggestions: Dolce, Karan, Balenciaga

Banjo Patrick - Rachel Griffiths

The Australian actress took this slightly odd name from one of the characters in the film The Man Who Came To Dinner.
More suggestions: Neo, Ocean, Chico

Finnigan - Eric McCormack

The Will & Grace star plumped for this Irish name, and Celtic names is a trend that's very hot at the moment.
More suggestions: Flynn, Finlay, Niamh (pronounced Neve)

Memphis - Bono

You'd expect something different from a man known only by one name, and this could work equally well for boys and girls.
More suggestions: Boston, Juneau, Boise

Zola - Eddie Murphy

Like other 'cool' names such as Lola and Lily, this is not too wacky, but we can guarantee you won't get too many in your town.
More suggestions: Mabel, Racine, Ruby
