The Emmy Awards air Monday night, and from our baby name perspective, there were some striking entries on the list of nominees. The following ten nominees have particularly unusual appellations with intriguing backstories whether they started out with those names on their birth certificates or not.

Adina Porter, supporting actress, limited series/TV movie, American Horror Story: Cult

A first-generation American, Adina Porter was born to a father from Sierra Leone and a mother from Bermuda. Her first acting teacher was Butterfly McQueen of Gone with the Wind fame, and Porter earned a nomination for playing reporter Beverly Hope in AHS: Cult. The name Adina is of Hebrew origin and means slender, delicate.
