Lily-Rose, Marcel, Mia: the first names worn by the children of celebrities

2022-01-21T11:37:51.150Z


Marcel as the son of Marion Cotillard, Léonie as the daughter of Monica Belluci… Celebrities inspire us, sometimes even to the choice of the first name of our child.


Consult specialized books, survey those around you or draw lots… Let it be said, there is no miracle recipe for finding the ideal first name for your child.

But if it's running out of steam, celebrities just might save the day.

Classic or original, the first names of their children remain in any case an inexhaustible source of ideas.

We take stock.

Many French celebrities follow the fashion for old and almost timeless first names: Louise and Marcel at Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet;

Jeanne at Jean Dujardin and Nathalie Péchalat or Léonie at Vincent Cassel and Monica Bellucci.

François Cluzet, meanwhile, preferred the first name Marguerite for his 16-year-old daughter, the fruit of his romance with actress Valérie Bonneton.

In June 2021, it was the French swimmer Camille Lacourt who chose the first name Marius for his little boy born from his union with his partner Alice Detollenaere.

The births of 2021

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have announced the birth of their second child, two years after welcoming their son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.

The little girl's name is Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, a first name in homage to her great-grandmother, Elizabeth II and her grandmother, the late Lady Diana.

On the other side of the Atlantic, in Hollywood, Scarlett Johansson called her only daughter Rose, who has come back in force in recent years in France.

Years earlier, when their eldest daughter was born, Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp had also opted for Rose.

Before associating it with Lily for more originality.

Biblical names

The “o” and “a” sounds are also popular. Among the boys, Laetitia Casta called her eldest son Orlando, that of Cécile de France is named Lino and that of Eva Longoria Santiago. As for the little girls, we find Luna with Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem; Lila at Kate Moss; Zelda at Victoria Bedos; Olympia at Serena Williams or Mila at Mélanie Laurent. When Kate Winslet preferred to name her daughter Mia, even before it rose to the podium of the most given names. For her second child born in August 2021, Scarlett Johansson and her husband, the comedian and screenwriter of the show

Saturday Night Live

, Colin Jost, bet on Cosmo.

Actress Gal Gadot will opt for Daniella as the first name of her third daughter.

And Antoine Griezmann and Erika Choperena will name their third child Alba.

But these trends are far from pleasing everyone.

Others prefer to bet on first names of biblical inspiration.

Robert De Niro thus set his sights on Aaron for his son born in 1995. Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, meanwhile, chose the classic Samuel for their last child born in 2012. Obviously less original than Violet and Seraphina, his sisters elders.

The trend of princely first names

What about the

Royals

?

It's not really a surprise but the first names of members of the royal family inspire again and again.

Especially in the UK.

The first names George and Louis, the two sons of Kate Middleton and Prince William, have been rising sharply for several years.

Like Arthur, the first name of the son of Pippa Middleton and James Matthews.

On the girl side, the classic Charlotte remains a safe bet.

In addition, the name given to the first child of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, Archie, has been ranked in the top 10 of the most given names in England and Wales during the year 2020. For their a young girl born on June 4, 2021, the couple will choose a meaningful first name, Lilibet Diana, in tribute to her great-grandmother, Elizabeth II and her grandmother, the late Lady Diana.
