We love to make lists of outlandish celebrity baby names, from Apple to X Æ A-12. But how about the countless celebrities who stick to the classic baby names? We're not just talking about Will and Kate, either. Stars including Katy Perry, Andy Cohen, and Keira Knightley have chosen names such as Daisy, Benjamin, and Delilah for their children.

Along with Benjamin and Delilah, other classic celebrity baby names in the US Top 100 include Amelia, Elijah, Henry, Jack, Leo, Olivia, Sadie, and Violet. Old-fashioned classic names chosen by celebrities that are currently rare include Betty, Frida, Hal, and Minnie.
