Recently, Scarlett Johansson and husband Colin Jost announced the name of their first child on Instagram: Cosmo. "Okay, well, we have a baby," Jost wrote. "His name is Cosmo, and we love him very much." It is a meaningful and unique name, derived from the Greek word for harmony and beauty.
Here's a look at some surprising celebrity baby names. Some are quirky cute, some are sweet and refreshing.

Parents: Elon Musk and Grimes
When it comes to bizarre names, how can we miss the X Æ A-12 that Tesla founder Elon Musk and singer Grimes originally named for their sons? In the face of this name that is not even sure how to pronounce it, netizens naturally have many questions. Grimes personally parsed the meaning behind the unique name: "X" stands for the unknown, "Æ" is a variant of the artificial intelligence "AI", but also represents "Love", "A-12" represents the two's favorite nonviolent fighter, and the "A" also hints at her favorite song "Archangel". Finally, due to regulatory issues, it was only possible to change to X AE A-XII on the official registration documents.

Parents: Nicolas Cage and Alice Kim
Are there any comic book characters you particularly like? Perhaps you can refer to how Nicholas Cage combines illusion and reality. In an interview, Nicholas Cage mentioned that his wife at the time, Alice Kim, wanted to give his child a unique and meaningful name, so he thought of the real name Kal-El given to him by Superman's biological parents in the Superman comics. The name is a combination of good, unique, and American pop culture.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="13">Lyra Antarctica</h1>
Parents: Ed Sheeran and Cherry Seaborn
When asked about her daughter's odd name, Ed Sheeran responded: "[We] want to give her a special name so she's unique." The middle name of the two daughters, Antarctica, means Antarctica, and Lyra is derived from the Greek word, which means seven-string harp (English lyre), which is quite reasonable to be given this name by the musician's father, if you have a passion for music, or want your children to have a literary atmosphere, maybe Lyra is a good choice!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16">Gravity</h1>
Parents: Lucky Blue Smith and Stormi Bree
Gravity is a fairly special name. Although angel male model Lucky Blue Smith and ex-girlfriend Stormi Bree did not publicly name the idea behind it. But perhaps we can guess that the word Gravity can not only reflect the mutual attraction of parents in love, but also represent the importance of children in the lives of both parents.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="19">Aleph</h1>
Parents: Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied
Natalie Portman, who was born in Jerusalem, gave her son a very Jewish name, Aleph, another variant of the Jewish name Alef. In addition to being the first letter of Hebrew, and therefore having the first meaning, Aleph is also associated with the origin of the universe in the Jewish scriptures and is a rather philosophical name.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="23">Blue Ivy</h1>
Parents: Jay Z and Beyoncé
The top couple in the European and American music scene did not say why the eldest daughter was named Blue Ivy, but this did not stop the reason behind the public speculation. First, blue may have great significance for Jay Z and Beyoncé: Jay Z once appeared in his work "My favorite hue is Jay Z blue". What about Ivy? The first two letters of the word are "IV", which is the "four" in the Roman numerals and the lucky number for the couple. In addition, Ivy, which is the same as Ivy in English, is not a rare English name, representing loyalty in both flower language and ancient Greek culture. To avoid her daughter's name being used commercially, the two also registered a trademark for Blue Ivy.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="27">Suri</h1>
Parents: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes
In a statement issued at the birth of their daughter, the former couple revealed that Suri is of Hebrew origin, meaning princess, and in Persian it means red rose. Other names similar to Suri are Suria (from Hindi for sun god) and Zuri (from swahili for beauty).
