The Most Unusual Celebrity Baby Names

And you though Apple and Moses were out thereā€¦

Coco Rocha

Model Coco Rocha has become a mum for the second time, welcoming son Iver Eames Conran on April 20.  “My baby boy, Iver Eames Conran. 7 lbs. 10oz of pure wonder,” Rocha captioned a photo of the pair on Instagram. The name is a unique choice and complements her daughter’s name, Ioni James Conran. 

Previously speaking about choosing her daughter’s name which means “island” in Gaelic, the model says she and her husband picked it because they “loved the way it looked and sounded”. “We probably read through 10,000 names together and we each made a short list of names that we liked,” she previously told The Kit. “There were only two or three names we both wrote down. Now I can’t imagine her being called anything else!”

While the model is also known for her own unique name, Coco was actually a nickname given to her by her mother, she was actually born Mikhaila Rocha.
