Theres a new generation of celebrities who are making their unique names famous, not only with audiences but with parents searching for cool, stylish names for their babies.

From Alden to Zendaya, here are the 25 hot new celebrities whose unusual names are most likely to inspire baby name trends of the future.

Girls

Amandla Stenberg

Sometimes it can just take the addition of a single letter to make a name seem brand new, as is the case of this actress, known for portraying Rue in The Hunger Games. Amandla is actually a name that means power or strength in two South African languages, IsiXhosa and Zulu. A rallying cry for anti-Apartheid activists, Amandla was also the title of a Miles Davis album after which Stenberg was named.

Dove Cameron

She began as a Disney Channel teen star, playing both parts in Liv and Maddie. She traded her birth name of Chloe Celeste for the soft, sweet symbol of peace name Dove, which, along with Lark and other bird names, is poised to take flight.

Gal Gadot

A sensation as the latest Wonder Woman film, this lovely actress was born and raised in Israel. The name Gal means wave in Hebrew, is pronounced to rhyme with ball, and is unisex in its native habitat, but we can see it more as a powerful inspiration for girl babies here.
