Move over, Elon Musk — Ghana’s very own Medikal is now officially a contender in the “most creative baby names” Hall of Fame.
The rapper, known for his lyrical swagger and unpredictable energy, first caught everyone off guard when he and actress Fella Makafui named their daughter Island Frimpong. At the time, fans thought, “Aww, how sweet — a tropical getaway name.” But Medikal wasn’t done. Nope. He just took things to outer space — literally — by naming his new child with singer Eazzy… Space Frimpong.
At this rate, the next baby might be Galaxy, Orbit, or maybe Wi-Fi Frimpong — because clearly, the man’s connection to creativity is out of this world.

But before we start mapping the Frimpong Solar System, let’s admit it: Medikal is in good company. Around the world, celebrities have been treating the baby name registry like an art installation for decades — mixing poetry, physics, fruit, and a sprinkle of “Wait, what?”
So in honor of Space Frimpong joining the galaxy of extraordinary names, let’s explore the most unique, unusual, and sometimes hilarious baby names ever created by famous parents.
The Celebrity Baby Name Olympics:
Apple Martin — The OG of Odd Baby Names
Before Space and Island, there was Apple Martin — the daughter of actress Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.
When Oprah asked about the name, Gwyneth explained:
“When we were first pregnant, her daddy said, ‘If it’s a girl, I think her name should be Apple.’ It sounded so sweet, and it conjured such a lovely picture for me. Apples are so sweet and wholesome, and it’s biblical.”
And thus, the modern celebrity baby name craze was born — crisp, organic, and a little bit confusing.
The Zappa Family — When “Weird” Was Still Cool
Rock legend Frank Zappa practically invented eccentric naming. His kids — Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet Emuukha Rodan, and Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen — set the bar so high that even Elon Musk would need a telescope to reach it.
Elon Musk & Grimes — The Techno Parents
Speaking of telescopes… Elon Musk and Grimes took baby naming interstellar. Their son’s name, X Æ A-12, had to be legally modified to X Æ A-Xii (because California doesn’t allow numbers).
According to Grimes:
-
“X” = the unknown variable
-
“Æ” = elven spelling of love
-
“A-12” = their favorite aircraft
Their daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, is named after “the true time of the universe.” Somewhere, NASA is taking notes.
Cardi B & Offset — Making “Kulture” Trendy
Cardi B wasn’t about to name her daughter something basic.
“Anything else woulda been boring. Okurrrr.”
Enter Kulture Kiari Cephus, named after Offset’s real name. Their son, Wave Set, arrived next — proving that this family doesn’t just ride waves, they make them.
Nick Cannon — The Man, The Myth, The Nursery Expansion
By his 11th child, Nick Cannon had clearly run out of normal options. One standout: Beautiful Zeppelin Cannon — which sounds like a rock anthem and a luxury candle scent.
Malibu Barbie Paytas-Hacmon — Dreamhouse Realness
Yes, influencer Trisha Paytas really named her daughter Malibu Barbie. Somewhere, Mattel’s legal team is on speed dial — and we’d watch that reality show in a heartbeat.
Rainbow Aurora Rotella
Former Playboy star Holly Madison went for pure positivity. Her daughter Rainbow Aurora sounds like she was born at sunrise inside a crystal shop.
Cyan Lima
Supermodel Adriana Lima named her son Cyan — inspired by the turquoise waters of the Maldives. Matching your baby’s name to your vacation aesthetic? Iconic.
Dimity Facente Hardwick
Comedian Chris Hardwick and model Lydia Hearst named their daughter after a type of sheer cotton fabric. “Dimity” means delicate, “Facente” means industrious. So technically… hardworking curtains.
Sparrow James Midnight Madden
Nicole Richie and Joel Madden named their son after Pirates of the Caribbean’s Jack Sparrow. Cute now — but imagine explaining that at passport control.
Strummer Newcomb Cook
Julia Stiles honored punk legend Joe Strummer (of The Clash fame) when naming her son. Rebellious? Definitely.
Bluesy Belle Criss
Darren Criss and wife Mia clearly love jazz. Their daughter’s name sounds like a soulful debut album.
Wilde Wolf Fife Alexander Somers
Rapper Eve and husband Maximillion Cooper went full wilderness mode with this one. Wilde Wolf. Alpha energy only.
Stormi & Aire Webster
Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott named their daughter Stormi — and later renamed their son from Wolf to Aire. Forecast: 100% influencer vibes.
Blue Ivy, Sir & Rumi Carter
Trust Beyoncé and Jay-Z to make even baby names sound poetic. Blue Ivy is part music history, part color palette. Twins Sir and Rumi? Royal and spiritual — because Carters don’t do ordinary.
Pilot Inspektor Lee
Jason Lee named his son after the Grandaddy song “He’s Simple, He’s Dumb, He’s the Pilot.” Still waiting for siblings Co-Pilot and Flight Attendant.
Maple Bateman
Jason Bateman and Amanda Anka named their daughter Maple. Sweet, natural, and just a bit sticky.
Denim & Diezel Braxton-Lewis
Toni Braxton’s sons sound like a designer jeans collection — Denim and Diezel. Catchy, stylish, and perfectly on brand.
Bear Blu, Bear Blaze, Buddy Bear & Bear Grey
From Alicia Silverstone to Liam Payne, Hollywood loves a good Bear. Somewhere, Paddington is quietly filing a lawsuit.
Sunday, Story & Summer Moon Honey
From Nicole Kidman to Vanderpump Rules’ Scheana Shay, “days of the week” are officially baby name material. It’s giving yoga retreat.
Jupiter Iris French
Ashley Tisdale says her daughter’s name was inspired by a song her mom used to sing. “Jupiter Iris” — cosmic and delicate.
Gravity Blue, Rumble Honey & Slim Easy Smith
Model Lucky Blue Smith and wife Nara Pellman clearly wanted a family band. Slim Easy on drums, anyone?
Olympia Lightning, Thunder & Saint Leo Bolt
Usain Bolt really said, “I am speed,” and then named his children Lightning, Thunder, and Saint Leo. That’s called brand consistency. ⚡️
Ode Mountain Malone
Actress Jena Malone named her son Ode Mountain. Half poem, half mountain range. 100% avant-garde.
Raddix Chloe Wildflower Madden
Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden mixed “rad,” “new beginning,” and “flower child” into one name. Result: Raddix Wildflower — a name that could headline Coachella.
Ghana Joins the Trend — Boldly
So yes, Medikal is officially part of an elite (and slightly unhinged) club. From Island to Space, his naming choices are no accident — they’re artistic statements.
“Island” feels calm and grounded. “Space” feels limitless and futuristic. Together, they sound like a luxury resort and a sci-fi movie — which, let’s be honest, is peak celebrity energy.Whatever comes next, one thing’s for sure — Medikal isn’t just naming babies. He’s building a universe.
