It's not easy to think of baby names. Some parents mix their first names just to come up with one. But your favorite Hollywood stars follow a method to come up with celebrity baby names. Do you think you'll adopt it?

Nicolas Cage son Kal-El - He and his wife got this name from Superman's original name when he was in Planet Krypton. In a Starpulse report published by People, Cage said, "My wife wanted a unique name and originally I thought of the name Kyle and then she said, 'No, something more unusual but beautiful'. Then I remembered the old Superman comics and Kal-El was his original name on Krypton. So I wanted a name that stood for something good, was unique and American and that's all three. I just thought it was a beautiful name and it had kind of a magical ring to it."

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West daughter North - Kim admitted to Huff Post Entertainment that the name "North" started only as a rumor in the press. They did not consider it - not until Pharrell Williams and Anna Wintour approached them when they were dining at Mercer Hotel in New York City. Pharrell asked them: "Oh, my God, are you guys really going to call your daughter North? That is the best name." Anna went to them later and then said: "North is a genius name."

Uma Thurman daughter Rosalind Arusha Arkadina Altalune Florence - Rosalind Arusha Arkadina Altalune Florence may find it a little difficult to write her full name that she may opt to just place "Luna" (her nickname) in the paper. In an exclusive interview with People, Uma's representative revealed that "each name has a special reason and meaning to her mother and father". In as much as they would want to keep the story behind the name private, Entertainment Weekly had an explanation: "'Arusha' is a city in Tanzania. 'Arkadina' is a surname of a character in Anton Chekhov's play 'The Seagull'. Altalune may be a variation of 'alta luna' - Italian name for 'high moon' - and the name of a brand of wine."

Jason Lee son Pilot Inspektor - Jason Lee, "My Name Is Earl" star, revealed to Entertainment Weekly that his son's baby name originated from "a song on the indie rock band Granddaddy's 2000 album 'The Sophtware Slump'". "The opening track, 'He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's the Pilot,' absolutely blew my mind when I first heard it. It was from this track that my wife, Beth, came up with the name Pilot for our son."

Jamie Oliver daughter Petal Blossom Rainbow - According to The Telegraph, Jools Oliver, the wife of Jamie Oliver, was the one who named their daughter "Petal Blossom Rainbow" and she named it after 'My Little Pony' toy.

Now, if you are thinking of baby names for your child, will you choose to have the same approach as the celebrity parents above?
