Unusual baby name choices seem like a celebrity rite of passage these days, with A-Listers going out of their way to make sure their child’s name is a divisive talking point.
Apple, Blue Ivy, North – and don’t even get us started on Jamie Oliver’s brood: Daisy Boo, Petal Blossom Rainbow, Buddy Bear, Poppy Honey and new arrival River Rocket.
We don’t know why these A-listers do it, but it could be something to do with the unusual names given to them when they were born. Their stage names may sound normal but a strong celebrity theme seems to be having a very unexpected middle name.
From Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence to Adele and Orlando Bloom, here are some of the most surprising celebrity middle names…
1. James Kimberley Corden 2. Jennifer Shrader Lawrence 3. Elton Hercules John 4. Billie Paul Piper 5. Daniel Wroughton Craig 6. Adele Laurie Blue Atkins
