Do you ever wonder how celebrities come up with such unique,
cool and downright weird baby names? Why did Gwyneth Paltrow name her daughter
Apple? What’s the story behind Beyonce’s daughter Blue Ivy? From Jessica
Simpson’s daughter Maxwell to Victoria Beckham's Harper Seven, find out the
meaning behind these unique celebrity baby names.
 Jessica Simpson’s daughter Maxwell Drew
Jessica Simpson chose the gender-bending name of MaxwellDrew for her daughter. This is actually
a family name that she passed on. Maxwell is fiancé Eric Johnson’s middle name
and it is also his grandmother’s surname. The middle name, Drew, is Jessica’s
mom’s maiden name.
Victoria Beckham’s daughter Harper Seven
Victoria reportedly loved the ladylike and proper sound of
the name Harper
but what was behind her middle name of Seven?
“It was obviously David’s number at Manchester United and
she was born at 7:55 a.m., during the seventh month of the year and weighing 7
lbs., 10 oz., so it made perfect sense to them,” a source tells the Daily Mail.
Beyonce’s daughter Blue Ivy
There has been much discussion on Beyonce and Jay-Z's choice
to name their daughter Blue Ivy. What is the meaning behind it? One only has to
listen to his music to see that this color holds a special place in his heart.
“My favorite hue is Jay-Z blue,” he rapped in his song, "Go
Crazy.” His fondness for the color is also evident by the names of his albums, Blueprint, Blueprint 2 and Blueprint 3.
As far as her middle name of Ivy, it is reportedly in reference to the Roman number IV or four, which is a
special number to the couple. They were
married on April 4, Beyonce’s birthday is September 4, Jay-Z’s birthday is
December 4 and she has an album titled “4.”
Gwyneth Paltrow’s daughter Apple
When Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay’s Chris Martin named their
daughter Apple, fans were left dazed and confused over their strange baby name
choice.
“Basically one day [Chris] just said if it's a girl I
think her name should be Apple,” Paltrow told Oprah. “And I just said it
sounded so sweet, and it conjures such a lovely picture for me, you know apples
are so sweet and they're wholesome, and it's biblical and... I just thought it
sounded so lovely and clean, and then I just thought perfect and then she was
born and it became like an international outrage, I mean which I found
surprising because there are people named Rose or Lily or Ivy or June, or you
know lots of pretty nouns."
