Rapper Cardi B named her first daughter, who was born back in 2018, Kulture Kiari.

Kim Kardashian and her husband Kanye West are also known for giving their children names that stand out. Their four kids are called North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm.

Singer Beyonce famously tried to trademark her daughter Blue Ivy's unique name. She referred to her oldest child as a 'cultural icon' and wanted to stop a wedding planning business from using the same name for their company.
