Top 10 Craziest Celebrity Baby Names of 2008
2008 was quite a year for celebrity babies, with stars like Angelina Jolie, Christina Aguilera and Nicole Richie all adding little ones to their lives. But it wasn't just the big star status that was turning heads about these babies—it was their names too.
Celebrities are notorious for choosing baby names that are out of the ordinary, to say the least. From Moon Unit Zappa to Fifi Trixibelle Geldof to Kal-el Coppola Cage, celebrity babies have long been the victims of naming nightmares. But on the other
side of the coin, innovation can lead to new discoveries. Parents get tired of the same old standards, and unusual names are desirable in the modern fast-growing world. Celebrity names often influence the naming trends in the general populace, so we can either feed on their creativity or learn from their mistakes. Below is a list of the ten craziest celebrity baby names of 2008. Be sure to read all ten!
10. Gia Zavala Damon
Born August 20, 2008, Gia Zavala is the daughter of actor Matt Damon. Gia is a short form of the Italian name Gianna. Zavala is a surname of Basque origin. Match this with the English/Scottish surname Damon, and it makes for one multi-cultural name! Damon's wife is Argentine, so the choice of the name Zavala may be in tribute to a family name.

Okay, so these aren't the most outrageous names, but they still caught the public's attention.
8. Ignatius Martin Upton
Born April 13, 2008, Ignatius Martin is the son of actress Cate Blanchett and screenwriter Andrew Upton. There's nothing unusual about Martin, but Ignatius is a rare and archaic Latin name most often associated with the founding of the Jesuits. And the most natural nickname is Iggy.
