The Trendiest Celebrity Baby Names of 2025

If you love keeping an eye on baby name trends, then celebrity baby names are one of the most fun places to look for fresh inspiration. Whether you’re expecting, daydreaming about future babies, or simply love baby names as much as I do, watching what famous parents choose in 2025 has been a wild and wonderful ride.

This year has given us everything from soft, storybook-sweet girl names to bold, quirky, nobody-else-could-pull-this-off choices. And honestly? I’m here for all of it.

Celebrity baby names tend to jump quickly onto baby name charts, whether we want them to or not. Sometimes it’s because the name is darling and timeless… and sometimes it’s because we can’t stop talking about it.

Either way, these names give us a peek into what might be trending next for the rest of us—and 2025 has been packed with possibilities.

Below, I’m sharing some of the biggest standouts from the year so far, what makes them special, and why so many parents might start falling in love with them next.

Soft, Sweet, Storybook Names Are Having a Major Moment

One of the biggest themes of 2025 is the return to gentle names—think warm, cozy, floral, literary, and feminine. Names like Nora Rose, Elsie Kate, and Emma Kate feel familiar and timeless without being overused. They’re simple in the best way, the kind of names that grow beautifully with a child from infancy into adulthood.

Then you have whimsical, vintage-leaning choices like Sutton Blair, Colette Annalise, and Selah Jean, which strike that perfect balance between modern and old-souled. Soft girl names are definitely in their “main character era” right now, and I don’t see them going away anytime soon.

Even some celebrity parents known for bold or unique choices have gone delightfully classic this year. For example, William Brannon Neal IV, chosen by Naomi Biden and Peter Neal, is as traditional as it gets—and it’s refreshing to see a true generational name holding its own in a world full of one-of-a-kind baby names.

Nature-Inspired & Dreamy Names Are Still Trending Strong

Another big theme this year? Names that feel airy, magical, and earthy. These are the names that sound like they belong in a cottagecore storybook or a nature-themed baby nursery.

Look at the dreamy picks like Kaia Moon, Kaia Lily, Aurora Rayne, and Sahara Jean. Even Sonny Wilde and Soul Seven fit the vibe—warm, earthy, poetic names that feel like sunshine and open skies.

Names like Rowyn Sage, Rocki Irish, and Siena Grace blend nature elements with modern style. These names feel grounded and sweet at the same time—exactly what many parents are loving right now.

The Boldest, Bravest, Most Unique Picks of 2025

No celebrity baby name list is complete without the big, bold, “only a celebrity could choose this… but we secretly love it” names. And this year is packed with them.

Yes, I’m talking about names like:

• Aquaman Moses
• Sugar Lover
• Pony Ramone
• Sully Severe
• Texson Ray
• Talon

These names lean all the way into personality—they’re quirky, cool, and unapologetically creative. Even if they’re not going to land on the top 100 anytime soon, they still influence trends. A name like Talon, for example, is edgy but accessible, and could inspire parents who want something strong and modern. And while Sugar Lover or Pony Ramone might be a bit much for everyday families, they still spark conversations about name creativity and individuality.

That’s the fun with celebrity baby names—you get the whole spectrum, from soft and simple to wildly imaginative.

Steady Favorites: Modern & Cool Without Going Too Far

Some names sit right in the middle of the trend spectrum—cool, stylish, and wearable for anyone, not just celebrity kiddos. Names like Vincent Keith, Micah, Oliver Andrew, Livvy Rowe, Livvy Ari, and Zayden Michael fall into this category.

These are the kinds of names that feel current without being “too much.” They bridge the gap between traditional and trend-forward, which is exactly why so many parents love them. Livvy Rowe, chosen by Bachelor alums Arie and Lauren Luyendyk, is a perfect example—fresh, short, spunky, and beautifully modern.

Similarly, Rowan Vincent and Seve land squarely in that sweet spot of trendy yet accessible. They sound modern, but not made up. Familiar, but not everywhere.

A Few Whisper-Quiet Trends to Watch

After combing through dozens of 2025 celebrity baby names, a few subtle micro-trends are beginning to appear:

✨ Double names are creeping back in — especially soft girl combos like Elsie Kate, Emma Kate, and Nora Rose.
✨ Soft S-names are everywhere — Sutton, Selah, Seve, Susannah, Sonny, Sugar, Sully, Story.
✨ Nature-inspired middles continue to rise — Sage, Wilde, Irish, Moon, Rayne.
✨ Vintage revival isn’t slowing — Winnie, Colette, Theodora, and Vincent all carry that nostalgic charm.
✨ Unexpected word names are thriving — Pony, Soul, Story, Golden, Rocki.

It’s like 2025 parenting has split into two schools of thought: “Let’s keep it sweet and classic” and “Let’s make it bold and unforgettable.” Honestly? I love both.
