We've heard it all before, haven't we? From Gwyneth Paltrow's daughter, Apple, to Jason Lee's son, Pilot Inspektor, celebrity baby name choices have sometimes left us shocked and awed. We've seen "Seven," "Pirate," and "Ocean," and other nouns (or numbers!) suddenly become names. David Duchovny may have even topped all of those choices when he named his child, "Kyd."
On the other hand, a great name or a funny story that goes along with it can leave a smile on our faces. Over the years, so many celebrities have revealed the funny circumstances that accompanied naming their kids. So, here's hoping that one of these ten great names that celebrities have named their baby girls will do the same for you!
Bonus: Tell us in the comments below if you would consider naming your kid any of these names.
Jessica Alba, the star of film hits such as Honey (2003), Sin City (2005), and Fantastic Four (2007), named her first daughter with producer husband Cash Warren "Honor." The baby girl's middle name was the same as Alba's. Born in 2008, Honor later inspired the name of her mom's eco-friendly baby products company, The Honest Company.
9. Haven Garner
Alba and Warren named their second child "Haven" after her unexpected birth inside of the amniotic sac. "She was born in her safe haven," Warren mused at the time, not knowing he was inspiring her name. The baby girl's middle name was the same as Warren's.

8. Aviana Olea
When Amy Adams gave birth to a baby girl with her fiance Darren LeGallo, the couple named their daughter "Aviana" after Adams' birthplace, Aviano, in Italy.
7. Molly June
Amanda Peet and her husband, screenwriter David Benioff, argued about whether to name their baby "Maya June" or "Molly June." The couple still hadn't decided what to name their infant by the time they were being ushered out of the hospital. Benioff wrote the names on two different pieces of paper, hid them behind his back, and told Peet that whichever she picked would be the name. When Peet picked "Maya June," she got upset, and the couple decided on "Molly."
6. Seraphina Rose Elizabeth
When Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck told their oldest daughter, Violet, that they were expecting a baby, she suggested the name "Sara." After Garner delivered their second daughter, the couple couldn't decide on a name. When a week went by without a decision, they allowed themselves to be inspired by Violet's suggestion. Garner and Affleck chose "Seraphina" because it means angel in many languages.
5. Blue Ivy
It was so important to Jay-Z and Beyonce to give their daughter a unique name that they tried to trademark the name. The couple lost the bid because a Boston-based wedding planner was using the name for her business.
4. Coco Riley
Courteney Cox, who was named after her mother, wanted to name her daughter "Courteney" as well, per Southern tradition. However, her husband David Arquette's Jewish background led to him objecting to naming the child after a living person. Compromise led to the couple naming her "Coco," which was a nickname Courteney's mom went by.
3. Savannah
Before Marcia Cross had met her husband, she had what she called a "spiritual experience" in which she felt someone told her she would have a girl and name it "Savannah." After she married her husband and found out she was expecting, he sent her an email suggesting the name "Savannah," which gave her the chills.
2. Lincoln Rose
Kristen Bell explained on The Ellen Show that the baby girl she had with fiance Dax Shepard was given his favorite name. Apparently, Bell didn't have it in her to put up a fight. "It's always been Dax's favorite name," she said. "He's substantially bigger than I am, so I lost."
1. North
This is the baby name we can't forget! When megastars Kanye West and Kim Kardashian announced that their daughter was named "North West," controversy led Kris Jenner to defend the name on The View. Jenner said that her daughter, Kim, explained the name means "highest power" and symbolized her and Kanye's highest point together.
