Names -> Weird Names of Music Performer's Children -> E

You think your parents gave you a strange name? Try being born to a rock star. It seems like strange names are just part of what you have to put up with. The most memorable of course would have to be Moon Unit for the daughter of the late great Frank Zappa.

Entries Beginning with E

Child's Name		Parent's Name		Comment		Submitted by:
Edan		Don Everly		Just bein pedantic but it is spelt like this it's a popular Protestant variation on the name Aidan. There's a cathedral called Saint Edan's in Wexford, Ireland (and it's my boyfriends name.)		emma
Edan		Don Everly		It IS a man's name -- it's a form of Edward, so it's not as "weird" as anyone things. (Editor's note: But it's still not as common in America as "Edward".)		Marianne50614
Edan		Don Everly		This is a boy,I swear!I don't think he could spell Eden.		Marian
Eden Alpert		Herb Alpert and Lani Hall		She was featured in a People article about second-generation celebrities.		Instrumental
Egan		Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz				Fola
Egypt		Treach (of Naughty By Nature)		His daughter with Sandra Denton, Pepa of Salt & Pepa.		Eric Andrews
Egypt Daoud Dean		Alicia Keys/ Kaseem Dean "Swizz Beatz"		Its weird but I thinks its a really cute name.		Courtny
Eja		Shania Twain		Shania named her son this after a word from her father's Native Indian culture. For those of you that don't know, Shania changed her name to Shania to honor her father. Shania means "on my way" and she has proven that time and time again. NEVER diss Shania again!!		micmorg
Eja		Shania Twain		It is pronounced "Asia", but Shania didn't change her name to honour her father, but to honor her stepfather.		Baby Girl Jen Giles
Eja		Shania Twain		Pronounced "Asia." Why would she want to give her boy a strange name?		crazydon
Eja		Shania Twain		Where did she ever come up with this name for a boy.		Ellie
Eleanora Avis Nora, Anthony, Linda Hope and Kel		Bob Hope		Bob Hope has four adopted children named Eleanora Avis "Nora", Anthony, Linda Hope and Kelly Hope, none are named Ikeketralopolis.		Lauren
Elektra		Dave Mustaine		Cruelty. Obviously Mustaine spent alot of time reading comics.		theclash134
Elektra		Dave Mustaine		People really ought to look into a name before they inflict it upon their child. I'm all in favor for unusual names, as I have a strange name myself, but I wonder if Dave would have named his daughter Elektra if he knew that the Elektra complex is the female counterpart to the Oedipus complex (i.e. a girl becomes overly attached to her father, imagining that she will be impregnated by him, and consequently grows to resent her mother). Probably not the best thing to name your daughter...		Admiranda
Elektra		Dave Mustaine		Love it!		Calista
Elektra		Dave Mustaine		Elektra is taken from Greek mythology; She's the daughter of Okeanos and Tethys and has children with Zeus; and also Elektra as daughter of Agamemnon and 'her story' has been worked up in 'Elektra' : a tragedy of Sophokles, a drama of Gerhard Hauptmann also Hugo von Hofmannsthal (famous German writers) and an opera of Richard Strauss; all titled 'Elektra' Elektra is also a star and an asteroid Considering these facts (and not just 'Daredevil') I think the name's quite alright (unless they really took it coz of Daredevil...)		Claudia
Elektra		Dave Mustaine		It's cute, meaning aside and all. But I thought of Carmen Electra when I heard it.		MouthForWar
Elgin		Ginuwine				jasmine
Elgin Baylor Lumpkin		Ginuwine		Elgin is a nice name, but I'm mad that he named his child after him. I mean it's nothing wrong with wanting your child to be named after you, but a name like Elgin can only be original once. I think Ginuwine should have given his son another UNIQUE name so that he can have his own trade mark.		chaka
Elgin Lumpkin Jr		Ginuwine				jasmine
Elgin, Dream, Story		Ginuwine		I would like to say that all his children have very unique names. I can't wait for him to drop the new cd and hopefully Sole' will have a nice comeback.		Laki Gregg
Elgin, Story & Dream		Ginuwine		Holy great mother of lord! Story? Dream? And Elgin I have never heard that word/name before. Well his kids, his life. Whatever, those kids are gonna be picked on as school-kids!		Nikki
Elijah Blue		Cher and Greg Allman		It's a nice name. It reminds me of Elijah Wood, you know the name and his blue eyes. It's a really cute name.		Citty
Elijah Blue		Cher-Gregg Allman		The name's okay, just weird.		real
Elijah Blue		Cher and Greg Allman		I heard he goes by a different name now.		David Corrado
Elijah Blue		Cher				Talon
Elijah Blue		Cher		I would just like to say that half of the names on this page aren't even strange. I mean I grew up with the name Azure Blue. Not that I'm complaining b/c being common sucks.		Azure
Elijah Bob Patricius Guggi Q		Bono		It seems when his 3rd child/1st son was born, Bono thought he wouldn't have any more kids (or at least any more boys) and that's why he gave him all the boy names he liked. See when he had a second son _John Abraham_he kept his name short.		Aurora
Elijah Bob Patricius Guggi Q		Bono		Can you believe this one??? Poor Kid		jacque
Elijah Bob Patricius Guggi Q		Bono		I think it's nice that Bono named his kid after an old friend, Derek Rowen, who was nicknamed Guggi. Guggi was also the one who came up with the name Bono. (Bono's real nime is Paul Hewson.)		CRA-Z-4-U2
Elijah Bob Patricius Guggi Q		Bono		Talk about a long name!		jtreegirl
Elijah Bob Patricius Guggi Q.		Bono		Gee Bono, pick a name, any name.. Wait until this kid tries to fill out government forms for things like his driver's license.		ChuckyG
Elijah Bob Patricus Guggi Q		Bono		And his other son is John Abraham.		Annie
Elijah Bob Patricus Guggi Q Hewson		Bono		Elijah, I can deal with. Bob, to honor Bono's dad, fine. Patricus? Sorry, Bono. Nobody speaks Latin anymore. Guggi? Bono, if you wanted to honor your childhood friend, you could have used his real name, which is Derek. Q? There's absolutely no way that can be justified.		beau99
Elijah Hendrix Wahlberg		Donnie Wahlberg and Kim Fey		I can only assume that this kid's middle name is the result of someone's obsession with Jimmi Hendrix gone a little too far.		Celeste
Elijah Patricius Bob Guggi Q. Bono		Bono		You got the order of the kid's second and third names mixed up, ChuckyG! It's Patricius Bob, not Bob Patricius.		Aaerni
Eliot Paulina		Sting		Called Coco.		CydM
Eliot Pauline		Sting		This is Coco's real given name, although Eliot may make it unusual for a girl. Then again, there is Sarah Chalke's character on SCRUBS named Elliott.		Eric Andrews
Elizabeth Scarlett		Mick Jagger (and various!)		So nice		Grace Slick
Ella		Greg Graffin		What a very normal name.		LadyGaladriel
Ella Bleu		John Travolta				liz
Ella Blue		John Travolta		I like the names Travolta chose for his chldren. And, for stars, maybe they think they MUST have very unique names for their offspring, or they simply feel the freedom to be kinky, whereas, the general population faces a stronger censorship in naming. But, there are always the rebels out there in the common world who break the 'so-called rules.' If there are any rules, they are made by a few here and there who THINK they know what is proper. I believe names are going thru a big change and, personally, I think it's: ANYTHING GOES.		Fontaynn
Ella Blue		John Travolta				aleesa
Ella Estrella Tisha		Zam Helga (German Band Singer)				Suihava
Ella Rae		Mark Wahlberg (formerly Marky Mark)				Eric Andrews

Ellery Walker		Ben Harper				Eric Andrews
Elmo		Curt Kirkwood		His full name is Elmo Isaac Dillinger Dean Samuel Sinbad Kirkwood.		Mo' Wood
Elmo and Cat		Curt Kirkwood (Meat Puppets)		Elmo and Cat are twins of the Meat Puppet lead singer and guitarist. Turns out not only are their names Elmo and Cat, but I guess the full names are really long!		MeatPuppetFan
Elmo and Cat		Curt Kirkwood		Actually I wanted to add the Curt Kirkwood's kids Elmo and Cat were not named after the little red Elmo but was named after the movie St. Elmo's Fire. Cat was not named after Cat Stevens. Her name is just Catherine.		Jayson
Elmo and Cat		Curt Kirkwood of the Meat Puppets		Actually, Elmo and Cat are their full names. Elmo was named after the red fuzzy guy in Sesame Street. Cat was named after Cat Stevens.		Aaerni
Elmo Issac Dylanger Dean Samuel Sinbad Soul Kirkwood		Curt Kirkwood (Meat Puppets)		Confirmed- Full name of Elmo		MeatPuppetFan
Elroy		Neil Finn		Um, rather odd. Liam is a normal name, but who cares? His mother gave him a middle name of Mullane (no offense to Neil).		i lurve the enz
Elroy		Neil Finn		Hmmm....		Sally
Emily-Ruth		Brian May (Queen)		Not so bad, actually reletively normal for a Rock star's kid.		JJ
Emma		Pete Townshend		She later became a musician herself. Goes to show being famous doesn't necessarily mean simplicity in names is a bad thing!		Eric Andrews
Emme Marbiel and Maximillian		Jennifer Lopez/Marc Anthony		They are fraternal twins.		MOR
Ensa Camille		Bill Cosby				Eric Andrews
Erin Bria		Easy-Z		This name is so cute. She's named after her late father, who died from catching AIDS. She was recently shown on "Sweet Sixteen", and she looks exactly like him.		Netta

Estela del Carmen		Antonio Banderas				Eric Andrews
Estella Desiree		Mike Dirnt		That name sounds somewhat French.		tclyker
Estella Desiree		Mike Dirnt (Green Day's bassist)		Mike named his daughter Estella because it means "star". It is a beautiful name. He has this name tattooed on his right arm surrounded by stars. He also has a bass named after her.		Loser Hero
Estelle Desiree		Mike Dirnt		Well everyone's been spelling it wrong, so here it is correctly. And I'm guessing it's French as well. -elle is a French suffix, like my name, and Desiree has a French suffix as well.		danielle
Estelle Desiree		Mike Dirnt (Green Day)		Some sources list it hyphenated as Estelle-Desiree. Either way it's Estelle. FTR, Estella, Estelle and Estrella are derived from Stella so they ALL mean star.		Mel
Estelle Disiree		Mike Dirnt		Her name is so pretty.		Tina
Estelle-Desiree		Mike Dirnt				Me, not you
Estelle-Desiree		Mike Dirnt (Green Day's bassist)		It sounds very french.Estelle sumwhat means "star". Desiree means "desire" I guess Mike and Anastisia really wanted a unique name. But overall i love that name!		Mallyn
Estelle-Desiree Dirnt		Mike Dirnt		Apparently (according to www.geekstinkbreath.net), Mike has an obsession with stars, so he named her that. In my opinion, Estelle is a beautiful name. Good job Mike :D		Edel
