Unique Celebrity Names

Unique celebrity names are names that are so tied to a single celebrity that the celebrity in question barely needs a last name — and often doesn't even use one. While a handful of these unique celebrity names start out as one-of-a-kind only to spawn a legion of little namesakes (case in point: Zendaya), others remain indelibly linked to the personages who inspired them. After all, there’s only one Oprah!

Along with Zendaya, other unique celebrity names now used for hundreds or even thousands of babies include Chance, Drake, Keanu, Leighton, Pierce, Sutton, and Zayn. Singular celebrity names on the rise include Halsey, Lake, Rashida, and Winona.

Some names are uniquely tied to a single celebrity due to an unusual spelling, such as Bethenny and Ginnifer. Other celebrity names are unique for their gender: for a girl, the name Drew always summons Drew Barrymore, while for a boy it's not remarkable.Our picks for this distinctive group of unique celebrity names include the following.
