Perhaps it’s because celebrities are used to — if not drawn to — the spotlight that they seem to have a particular fondness for finding names for their offspring that stand apart from the pack. Some dip into the past for an old-fashioned moniker while others honor a family member or have some personal significance to the parents. And then there are those that simply can’t be explained with any rationale besides just sounding pretty damn cool. When you’re a celebrity baby, it’s all fair game. 2016 was no exception to the unique naming trend, and we’ve gathered a few of our favorites, including one that references his parents’ love of whiskey, and one pulled straight from heaven.
Luna Simone Stephens
Little Luna is the spitting image of her papa, John Legend, but we can already tell she's got mom Chrissy Teigen's modeling skills — those poses!
Ines Reynolds
The youngest daughter of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, whose name means "chaste," made her big debut recently when the entire family celebrated the Deadpool actor's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Jameson Moon Hart
The brand new baby boy of Pink and husband Carey Hart was named after his grandfather (James) and uncle (Jason) — besides the fact that both parents are Irish and fans of whiskey.
Saint West
Okay, technically Kim Kardashian and Kayne West's adorable baby boy was born in December of 2015, but we didn't get an official introduction to Saint until after the new year.
Dusty Rose Levine
With a name like Dusty Rose, the daughter of Behati Prinsloo and Adam Levine sounds more cut out to be a a country singer than following her dad's footsteps in pop.
Daisy Josephine Sudeikis
Besides having the same initials as daddy, Jason (actual first name Daniel) Sudeikis, baby Daisy's name was also chosen because it's the same as a beloved cousin of mom Olivia Wilde.
Remington Alexander Blackstock
Pop star Kelly Clarkson and husband Brandon Blackstock call their baby boy "Remy" for short.
Journey River Green
The latest offspring of Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green is in good company in terms of having a unique name: his siblings are Bodhi Ransom, Noah Shannon, and Kassius (from Green's previous relationship).
