Jessica Simpson Gives Birth to Baby Girl Maxwell – Other Singers' Odd Baby Names

It's about time! After being overdue by more than nine days Jessica Simpson finally gave birth in Los Angeles May 1st to baby girl Maxwell Drew Johnson. The pop singer is engaged to Eric Johnson.

Jessica tweeted about the baby news and posted on her website after the birth. "Eric and I are elated to announce the birth of our baby Maxwell Drew Johnson 9 lbs. 13 oz. 21 ," she said.

Fellow friends and celebs teased the blonde star about her overdue status before the birth on Twitter.

"How has Jessica Simpson still not given birth to this baby? I'm getting frightened," joked Chelsea Handler.

Katy Perry was also curious about the birth. "Has Jessica Simpson had that baby yet?! I'm getting anxious."

Many fans seem to be rather upset over the masculine name pick for a baby girl. Maxwell is by far the least strange name chosen by a celebrity; at least she isn't named Apple or Coco, but is it an odd name for the child? We take a look at the weirdest baby names chosen by our favorite musicians.

Mariah Carey

One year ago Miss Mimi gave birth to twins while husband Nick Cannon played Mariah's 1995 Madison Square Garden performance of her song "Fantasy" in the birthing room. Weird, right? Well, not as weird as the twins' chosen names. The celeb couple picked Moroccan for the baby boy and Monroe for the baby girl. Marilyn Monroe is an idol of Carey's, hence the name for the girl, but the boy's name was picked on a room in the couple's house. That's right. The kid was named after their living room, essentially. Apparently the Moroccan room was where Cannon proposed to the singer. We don't really understand it, but at least the kid is cute.

Beyonce

When Beyonce and Jay Z announced their highly anticipated daughter had been born, everyone wanted to know the name. Some suspected it would be straight up odd considering Bey and Jay are considered hip-hop royalty, but no one could have ever guessed Blue Ivy. Sure, the name is unusual but what was even creepier about the name announcement was the way some people reacted. Certain critics claimed the name was a secret code that proved membership into an occult secret society, the Illuminati. They claimed Blue stood for Born Living Under Evil and Ivy stood for Illuminati's Very Youngest. We're pretty skeptical of the claims, but we suppose we'll never know.
