Celebrity Babies Who Were Named After Animals: Birdie, Bear and More

Feeling fierce! Unique celebrity baby names are nothing new — North West, anyone? — but these moms gave their little ones animal-themed monikers.

Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden announced the arrival of their second child, son Cardinal, in March 2024. “We are blessed and excited to announce the birth of our Son, Cardinal Madden❤️🙏,” the duo wrote in a joint Instagram statement. “He is awesome and We are all so happy he is here!”

The pair, who also share daughter Raddix, noted that they wouldn’t be posting any photos for “safety and privacy” reasons but assured fans that Cardinal is “a really cute” baby. “We are feeling so blessed and grateful 🍀,” the twosome added. “Sending much love from our fam to yours 🙏❤️Best wishes and Good Afternoon!!”

The Maddens aren’t the only ones to choose animal names for their children. Jessica Simpson, who welcomed her third child in March 2019, deviated from the more traditional names she gave her first two kids — daughter Maxwell and son Ace — when she chose Birdie for her second baby girl.

Thank You!

Simpson revealed the name at her baby shower, two months before giving birth. She celebrated her pregnancy in a lacy white dress, fur cardigan and flower crown, posing for pics in front of a “Birdie’s Nest” sign with her family.
