The most eccentric names and aliases of stars

When choosing names for their children, parents are guided by a variety of motives and principles: someone prefers the most popular names at that time, someone names their children after their relatives, someone follows different calendars.

The parents of these celebrities decided to abandon platitudes and gave the most unexpected and eccentric names to their children.

Meena Suvari

Few people know, but the name of one of the most famous actresses of the early 2000s, Mina Suvari, is associated with the history of ancient Egypt. It was named after the legendary Egyptian pharaoh Menes or Mina, who ruled three thousand years BC. Such an unusual idea belonged to the aunt of the actress, who was herself born in Egypt.

Doutzen Cruz

A successful model and actress, ex-Victoria’s Secret “angel” Doutzen Cruz hails from a small town in the Netherlands and has Frisian roots. From her people, the star inherited not only the soft Nordic beauty, but also an unusual name that echoes her angelic appearance: from the Frisian “Doutzen” is translated as “dove”.

Saoirse Ronan

The star “Lady Bird” and “Little Women” has a rare and atypical name for Hollywood, inherited from her Irish ancestors. From her native language, her name is translated as “freedom”. And by the way. In fact, it is not pronounced with an “and”. and through the letter “e”, then the Sersh network. The actress once told about this in her interview with Vogue magazine.

Ariana Grande

When choosing names for their children, parents are sometimes guided by very original ideas. For example, the famous actress and performer Ariana Grande was named after … the heroine of the animated series. That was the name of the princess from the cartoon “Felix the Cat”.

Maisie Williams

The choice of Maisie Williams’ parents turned out to be no less interesting. As it turned out, the young Game of Thrones star was named after a comic book character.

Keira Knightley

The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star once surprised journalists a lot, saying that she was named after the Soviet figure skater Kira Ivanova, whose performances were always admired by the star’s father. True, the name of the future actress was recorded incorrectly during registration: the letters “i” and “e” were mixed up, but in the end, the unusual name with a typo remained.

Miley Cyrus

Few people know, but the real name of the controversial singer and actress Miley Cyrus is Destiny Hope Cyrus. This choice cannot be called mediocre: the first two words are translated from English as “fate” and “hope.” In the end, as we all know, the girl fully lived up to her name and the high hopes of her parents.

Taylor Swift

Another star that fully lives up to its name is Taylor Swift. The mother of the famous pop and katri performer decided what to call her even before the girl was born and specially selected her a gender-neutral name associated with the world of music and show business, inspired by the work of the singer James Taylor. As a result, Taylor Swift herself also became a world famous singer and, moreover, a feminist.

Bjork

In Icelandic singer and actress Bjork, absolutely everything is unusual – from her eccentric images to her specific name. It is translated from the native Icelandic language as “birch”.

Halle Berry

It would seem that there can be nothing unusual in Holly’s name, but no matter how it is! The actress once said that she was named after a supermarket. Yes, yes, as it turned out, the parents of the future actress often visited the store with the same name and subsequently did not think long and named their daughter after this place.

Paris Hilton

If you think that the secular lioness and heiress of the Hilton empire was named after the capital of France, then you are deeply mistaken. Yes, the famous blonde really got her name in honor of a geographical object, but located in a completely different place. Paris (and not Paris, by the way) is a small picturesque town in northeast Texas.

Shia LaBeouf

The main brawler of modern Hollywood, handsome Shia Said LaBeouf is the owner of an unusual Jewish name, which is translated from Hebrew as “a gift from God” or “a gift from God.”
