You think your parents gave you a strange name? Try being born to a rock star. It seems like strange names are just part of what you have to put up with. The most memorable of course would have to be Moon Unit for the daughter of the late great Frank Zappa.

D'lila Star | Diddy And Kim Porter | I think D'lila is a cute name but D'lila Star is a little weird | Trina | |||
Daegal | Tony Bennett | Eric Andrews | ||||
Daemon | Tom Araya (of Slayer) | I sure hope it is pronounced like "Damon" & not like "Demon". | Eric Andrews | |||

Daisy- Boo and Poppy- Honey | Jamie and Jools Oliver | Whats with the "Boo" and the "Honey". I guess Honey was expected as Jamie's a chef but Boo? Daisy and Poppy are fine and lovely names but the 2nd name of both is something to be ashamed about!!!! | Rowan | |||
Dakota | Don Johnson | Eric Andrews | ||||
Dakota | Don Johnson | Her mother was actress Melanie Griffith, so I blame her. | MTV | |||
Dallas | Erykah Badu | I have met people named this before, it's a rather common name. | 1 | |||
Dallas | Erykah Badu | She was born in Dallas, which is probably her son's namesake. | Bevy | |||
Dallas Durst | Fred Drust | Come on Fred! Couldn't you have thought of something better then Dallas, you know something that didn't really clash with his last name... | Ameris | |||
Damion Marley | Bob Marley | How could you bums forget this? Damion and Bob Marley ar so cool. Rastafari stands alone. | Ganja Man | |||
Dandelion | Keith Richards | Maybe he named the kid after his most recent substance experiment... | outthere | |||
Dandelion | Keith Richards | Yeah, so Dandelion isn't the greatest name ever, and she changed it to Angela. Normal name, not a great one either. But what's wrong with it?? | !!!!ANGELA!!!! | |||
Dandelion | Keith Richards | She officially changed her name to Angela - wonder why?! Altho, Angela is a bit crap. | DeeDee | |||
Dandellion | Keith Richards | I think the drugs got to Keith....don't they also have a song called "Dandellion"? | Billy Florio | |||

Dashiell | Alice Cooper | Known as "Dash" | Mary | |||
Daunte Nathaniel Knight | Jordan Knight | Once they find out who the kid's father is, he won't LIVE long enough to get eaten alive! (Not that I actually recommend such a killing.) | Michael Pacholek | |||

Davette | Melvin Franklin (bass singer of the Temptations) | Eric Andrews | ||||
Dawn | Anne Murray | Eric Andrews | ||||
Dawson | Mike Kroeger | 'nickelback girl' bizarrely stated that Mike's son is named Brandom. Maybe she was referring to ex-member of Nickelback, Brandon (with an n) Kroeger, Mike's cousin. Mike's son is named Dawson. | Sharon | |||

Decker | Nikki Sixx | Pretty kool name if u ask me! (even though no one did, LOL) | MotleyGirl87 | |||
Declan | Cyndi Lauper | My name is Declan and it is not, as many people think, Irish. It is Gaelic for 'beloved'. I like it because it's different. I've only ever known 1 other Declan. | Declan | |||
Declan | Cyndi Lauper | An Irish name | Patti Smith | |||
Declyan | Cyndi Lauper | Son, with David Thornton, Declyan Wallace Thornton Lauper [19 November 1997] Named after Elvis Costello (real name Declan Patrick MacManus)but spelled traditionally. | mtlvr | |||

Delaney | Jimmy Buffett | It's actually Sarah Delaney, but she uses her first name. Additionally, he has a song titled "Delaney Talks to Statues." | Jodi | |||
Delaney | Martina McBride | One of her two daughters, I actually think it makes a fine name for a girl. After all, Bailey once had some fame as a boy's name, but now the girls appear to have taken it over, just like Leslie and Ashley. | Eric Andrews | |||
Delia | Melanie B. (Of the Spice Girls) | Um...I didn't know the British had such an odd taste in names....Then again, Melanie is a stupid name as well... | Leila | |||
Denim | Toni Braxton-Lewis | Comes from the Bible. | MEme | |||

Denim | Toni Braxton | I feel sorry for the kid!!!!! | Genesis | |||
Denim and Diezel | Toni Braxton | Candi | ||||
Denim and Diezel | Toni Braxton-Lewis | I love Toni's childen. They are so adorable. | Kenisha | |||
Denim and Diezel | Toni Braxton | I like the name . I wouldn't name them after gas and jeans, but it is different. | Fatinah | |||
Denim and Diezel | Toni Braxton | I think they are pretty names and very unique and different. | Fatinah Davis | |||
Denim Cole | Toni Braxton-Lewis | She named him Denim to Americanise the name 'Denham'.I guess she didn't because people would call him Den-ham. | something new | |||
Denim Cole | Toni Braxton | I had a daughter in 1996 and I named her Denim Elizabeth. My mother thought of Denim. I wonder where Toni got the name Denim. | Laura Ann | |||

Destiny and Angel | Terry Coldwell (E-17) | More words than names. | Frida | |||
Destiny Cyrus | Billy Ray Cyrus | Destiny! Who would name a kid that? It is cheesy! [Ed.'s note: It is now Miley Cyrus.] | Ashley | |||
Destiny Hope | Billy Ray Cyrus | These are words, not names.. it's like naming your kid Bush or Quayle... umm... | ChuckyG | |||
Destiny Hope | Billy Ray Cyrus | She goes by Miley these days. | christie | |||
Destiny Hope Cyrus | Billy Ray Cyrus | It is a good name! I think people should not make fun of her name. | fg | |||
Destiny/Angel | Terry Coldwell (E-17) | I guess the guy watched a lot of 'Captain Scarlet' in his youth, because Destiny Angel was one of the female pilots of Spectrum. | pickle* | |||
Devilin | Kenny MacLean | Kenny's only son. It's a scotish name. | Celeste | |||
Devo | Maynard James Keenan (TOOL, A Perfect Circle) | If my father named me that I'd shoot myself! | The Flea | |||
Devo | Maynard James Keenan | blue | ||||
Devo | Maynard James Keenan (Tool/APC) | I really like this name. You don't see it much (I've never seen or heard it before) and that's why it's cool. And I'm sure this kid is just as beautiful and talented as his daddy. | Zara | |||
Devo | Maynard James Keenan | I love it considering it means de-evolution I think its very unique. Well done Maynard, well done. | Ash | |||
Devo | Maynard James Keenan (Tool, A Perfect Circle..etc.) | It's great but how the hell is it pronounced? Is it Dee-vo or Dev-oh? Or what? Someone please tell me!! (kill_em_all_dude@yahoo.co.uk) | Mickey | |||
Devo | Maynard James Keenan | Wuphat | ||||
Devo H. Keenan | Maynard James Keenan | Devo? Isn't that a 1978 New Wave Band with Gerald V. Casale and Mark Mothersbough? | Ryan | |||
Devon Lane Allman | Gregg Allman | Gregg's son by his first wife, Shelley. | Mitzi Haston | |||
Deyjah | T.I. | I live in Atlanta and I've seen him with my niece! She is beautifull! My sister had a baby with him. It's still hard to believe he's the father!!! | Tatyaira | |||
Deyjah Harris and Jailee Pullins | T.I. | Deyjah is T.I.'s only baby girl. Jailee is his ex-girlfriend "Tiny"'s daughter. He claims her as his own, but she is not biologically his. | Mina | |||
Dhani | George And Olivia Harrison | I think this is a beautiful name for the best looking Beatle offspring there is. So unique. | celia | |||
Dhani | George Harrison | Just chiming in about Dhani. "dhani" pronounced dhuh-nee is indeed a Hindi word meaning wealthy. Dhani's name is pronounced "Danny", as others have said, and both meanings (the musical and the financial) appear to be quite apt! | Mary | |||
Dhani | George Harrison | Pronounced "Danny", as pronounced by Paul McCartney and others in the Concert for George. | Cyn | |||
Dhani | George Harrison | Pronounced DOH-NI, an English name with a hint of Hindu. I think its such a beautifull name. | Lisa | |||
Dhani Harrison | George Harrison | Yes, it's pronounced "danny", and the musical scale thing is right (or at least very popularly wrong). I don't know if he has a middle name, but I think I've read somewhere that George's middle name was Harold after his father. | another nitpicker | |||
Dhani Harrison | George Harrison | It's pronounced danny, and it means wealthy in Hindi. George did (and probably still does) have an obsession with India; thus Dhani's middle names are Hare which means worship and then all of the existing Hindu gods. He doesn't even know all of these names since there are thousands. | a pacifist | |||
Dhani Harrison | George Harrison | As a gigantic George and Dhani Harison fan, I'll just correct a few things for you. 1. It's pronounced "Danny", not "Donnie". 2. George became interested in Indian mysticism in 1966, during the filming of "Help!", not 1965. 3. Dhani's middle name, contrary to popular belief, is not Hare. Both he and George were not given middle names. 4. Dhani's name is rumoured to mean "wealthy" in Sanskrit, not Hindi. Again, this has not been proven. | Kay | |||
Dhani Harrison | George Harrison | Pronounced "Donnie". It' s actually an Indian name, because George was obsessed with India from 1965 until his death and probably even after that. | correction | |||
Dhani Harrison | George Harrison | Pronounced 'dah-nee', it is part of the Indian musical scale (equivilant of the European 'Do-re-me-fa-so-la-te') It goes: 'Ma, pa, dah, ni... ma (mom), pa (dad), dah-ni (Dahni, the son)'. | luc | |||
Dhani Harrison | George Harrison | Pronounced "Danny". | Karla | |||
Diamond Ti'aira | Angie Stone | Eric Andrews | ||||
Diesel | Toni Braxton | Diesel is Denim's little brother!!! NOT SISTER! | Kim | |||
Diesel | Toni Braxton | By the way, it's Denim's sister's name. | Marion | |||
Diesile | Tony Braxton-Lewis | Meme | ||||
Diezel Ky | Toni Braxton | Yes, shhe gave her second son a weird name, too. | ayane | |||
Diva | Frank Zappa | ChuckyG | ||||
Diva & Wilder | Curt Smith | Curt has 2 daughters - Diva and Wilder. I think Wilder is the title of an album by Julian Cope. | Linda Noble | |||
Diva And Wilder | Curt Smith (Tears For Fears) | joie | ||||
Diva Muffin | Frank Zappa | First rule: Never name your kid after a pastry (it sounds like Janet's boob.) | hamp | |||
Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen Zappa | Frank Zappa | He said he chose the name Diva because she was crying louder than all the other babies at the hospital. (No idea about the rest of the name.) | Coolio | |||
Dixie Dot and Bibi Belle | Anna Ryder Richardson | Very nice..for circus performers. You can just picture them in an act with dancing bears. | Mars | |||
Dixie Dot and Bibi Belle | Anna Ryder Richardson | All I can say is she must have been high on gas and air to give them THOSE names! MEAN | Rowan | |||
Django | Dave Stewart and Siobhan Fahey | Named for Django Reinhardt a famous European jazz guitarist of the 1920's and 30's. Django was of gypsy origins and played astounding Jazz riffs. he would have been more famous had WWII not intervened. He is legendary among Jazz guitarists especially because his playing hand was deformed in a burning accident. | Jim Kuza | |||
Django | Dave Stewart and Siobhan Fahey | Angelina | ||||
Django Walker | Jerry Jeff Walker | jen | ||||
Do Ray Me | Justin Hayward (Lead Singer Moody Blues) | She is named for the musical score. | anne Boris | |||
Dodd | Bobby Darin | I always felt he should have reversed the name to Darin Dodd. The name always puts me in mind of Ken Dodd (Liverpool comedian) and his nickname 'Doddy'. | pickle* | |||
Dodd Mitchell | Bobby Darin & Sandra Dee (R.I.P. both) | I read in one place that Dodd still uses his father's birth name of Cossotto (Bobby was born Walden Robert Cossotto). If so, then Dodd Darin sounds even more odd & not very roll-off-the-tongue. | Eric Andrews | |||
Dog | Sky Saxon | Ohhhhh...Kaaaay! | Eric Andrews | |||
Domani, Deyjah,King, and Messiah | T.I | Domani, King, and Messiah are the boys as you might know and Deyjah is the girl. So that is 3 boys and 1 girl. To those that do not know Ya'Majesty isn't a girl. Deyjah is the only girl. | Fact Straightner | |||
Domani, Messiah, Deyjah, King | T.I. | These are T.I. kids name 3 little boys and 1 girl. | ashley | |||
Donto | Etta James | Eric Andrews | ||||
Doremi | Justin Hayward | Real name on birth certif. is Marianne Celeste -- Doremi is a nickname they chose from a TV show Justin and Marie liked. | dee | |||
Doremi | Justin Hayward | I would hate to be called such a 'silly' name, people will comment on it whenever she is asked her name - what a drag | Ocean | |||
Doremi | Justin Hayward | Just like the scale names..."doe, a deer, a female deer..." | Pamela | |||
Doremi | Justin Hayward | The name of the show which had the character Doremy was "Are You Being Served" which can be seen currently in the US. The character and name, spelled Doremy on the show, can be seen sometimes at the end of the show during the credits. I just saw if for the first time myself in January 2008. | Denise | |||
Doremi Celeste | Justin Hayward | You can't get more musical, can you? And I wonder if choosing Celeste as a middle name has anything to do with 'blue'? | Jessica Aguilera | |||
Doremi Celeste | Justin Hayward | Just to correct Dee, the name on her birth certificate is not Marianne Celeste, it is Doremi Celeste (I used to work at the Family Records Office in London). Justin and his wife chose the name from an actress in a 70s sitcom but changed the spelling from Doremy to Doremi. It is not a nickname, it is her name. | Jessica | |||
Doremi Celeste | Justin Hayward | I looked up the name Celeste on a baby name site and it's (Latin) Celestial, heavenly; From the Sky. It's a very regal name for a child. :) | Celeste | |||
Doremi Celeste Hayward | Justin Hayward | Hey! What's wrong Celeste for a middle name? | Celeste | |||
Draven | Chester Bennington | I like this name! Reminds me of Dracula for some odd reason. | Alyssa | |||
Draven | Chester Bennington (Linkin Park) | Named after Eric Draven (the character played by the late Brandon Lee in the movie "The Crow"). | Laura | |||
Draven | Chester Benninton | That's Chester Bennington from Linkin Park. Draven's an odd name, but cool. If he's anything like his dad, he's set for life. ^_^ | HybridObsession | |||
Draven Sebastian | Chester Bennington (& Samantha) | Draven= Eric Draven (the Crow) Sebastian= Johann Sebastian Bach (german Componist) | Kathi | |||
Draven Sebastian | Chester Bennington | Claw | ||||
Draven Sebastian Bennington | Chester Charles Bennington | Chaz got a really cute child!!! | Denise | |||
Draven Sebastion Bennington | Chester Bennington | That is the cutest name i have ever heard! I love names for boys like dominic, Jessi but draven is my favorite and i have never heard it before.I LOVE chester bennington anyway but thats not why. | Alyssa | |||
Draven Sebastion Bennington | Chester Bennington (Linkin Park vocalist) | How cute is that name, Li'l Dre! Chester's kid is so cute, takes after his dad! Has a kool ring to it, Draven Bennington...... | lpchick | |||
Dream | Ginuwine | Kind of a cool name, but it'd get old fast. | Amber | |||
Dream | Ginuwine | Actually my 1 year old daughters middle name is Dream, and I never heard of anyone else with this name until now. WOW! | Trudy | |||
Dream | Ginuwine/Sole | Dream is a very beautiful and unique name. You never heard of a child with such a name. I think that Sole and Ginuwine did right by naming their child Dream because that's probably what she was to them: A "Dream" come true!! | Keria-J | |||
Dream | Ginuwine | It's a pretty name, but I WOULD NOT name my child Dream. | Ari | |||
Dream | Ginuwine | Ginuwine and his girlfriend Sole gave birth to a second little girl November 1st. I like the name but not crazy about it. It's too dry. | Naquita | |||
Dream | Giunwine | That is a beautiful name. It's different and unique. | Jhaelyn | |||
Dream & Story | Ginuwine & Sole | I truly believe that I have never heard such a most beautiful name in my life. "Dream" a name like that you should cherish. Elgin and Sole had a dream come true. Okay, Story, um, what can I say. Very unique and different. I actually like it. | Ciera | |||
Dream and Story | Ginuwine | I think that these are very unique names. I am going to name my child dream if its a girl. Just love, love, love the names. | Sierra Jenkins | |||
Dream and Story | Ginuwine and Sole Lumpkin | I wish I had though to name my child that first. Just like their parents these little girls represent orginality. Love them. | shamarie | |||
Dream And Story Lumpkin | Ginuwine And Sole | Sole is a rapper and Ginuwine is a male singer. | cool chick | |||
Dukey | Belinda Carlisle | When you say this name out loud, you think of going to the bathroom. She actually got this name because of his Grandfather James Duke Mason and her step-father, Duke Kurczeski. But still could they have thought of a better name than this? | Penny | |||
Duncan Zowie Heywood Jones | David Bowie | NOT Duncan Zowie Bowie | Liz Racz | |||
Dusti | Vanilla Ice | First off, the name is great. However, "Vanilla" spells it wrong; he spells it with an 'i', or at least that is what I saw on the tattoo. I think Dusty is a great name, since of course that's my name. And yes, I'm a girl, And no, it's not short for anything. | Dusty | |||
Dusty Rain | Vanilla Ice | This is the real name. | Becky | |||
Dusty Rain | Vanilla Ice (Rob Van Winkle) | Her name is Dusty Rain and she looks exactly like her dad. I know this for a fact I am close friends with Rob and his other daughter is Keali Breeze which is beautiful. I love both names | Lauren | |||
Dusty Rain | Vanilla Ice | Just to correct Aisha, who tried to prove someone else wrong, it IS Dusty Rain, not Dusty Rose, as you said. So there. | Becky | |||
Dusty Rain | Vanilla Ice | Enough said! | Luke | |||
Dusty Rose | Vanilla Ice | I'd just like to correct Luke by saying that her name is Dusty ROSE not Dusty Rain. | Aisha | |||
Dweezil | Frank Zappa | Dweezil was named after his mother's pinky-toe | Cat | |||
Dweezil | Frank Zappa | Apparently his real name is Ian Donald Calvin Euclid Zappa. Still weird, but as his dad said, "Consider for a moment any beauty in the name Ralph." 'Nuff said. | Marley | |||
Dweezil Zappa | Frank Zappa | I would like to yell at "nutcase" for his/her comment on this name. How does naming your child something other than mainstream make you a twisted psycho? His other kids are named Ahmet, Moon Unit, and Diva. Who are you to judge whether these names are good or not? They're probably far more talented than you will EVER be. So just crawl back into your hole and let us ignore you. | jen s | |||
Dweezle Zappa | Frank Zappa | WTF Frank Zappa is one twisted psycho! He named his other kids Diva and Moon for crying out loud! | nutcase | |||
Dylan | Michael McDonald | Not a "weird" name, but I can guess why he chose it. | KL Fan | |||
Dylan Blue | Brandon Boyd (Incubus) | This is actually Brandon's stepdaughter, but I think it's really cute. If you've ever seen her, then you'll agree that she suits the name. | bella-fontayne | |||
Dylan Jagger Lee | Tommy Lee & Pamela Anderson | Miss MT | ||||
Dylan Rae | Wayne Hussey (The Mission) | Not sure where the idea for calling his daughter Dylan came from, but the "Rae" was from his first wife's Kelly's father Ray, who passed away just before Dylan was born. | H-J | |||
Dylan Rae Hussey | Wayne Hussey | She was not named after Bob Dylan, Wayne dislikes Bob Dylan as well as her mother. Her first name came from a dream. | Penelope | |||
Dylan Rae Hussey | Wayne Hussey | Rae came from a movie her mom liked. Dylan came from a dream that she had while she was pregnant with her. | Dylan | |||
Dylan Rae Hussey | Wayne Hussey | I think I know where Wayne got the idea of naming his daughter Dylan. It came from Bob Dylan, of course. I still think Dylan is a better name for a boy than a girl, but it's a much better name for a girl than Bob. | Aaerni | |||
Dylan Rae Hussey | Wayne Hussey | Actually Kelly's father was named Don, not Rae. | Smorgasbord | |||
Dylan River | Joe Nichols | sundog | ||||
Dyon | Xzibit | He had this child with a Dutch girl. He was born April, 2005. | Klazzz |
