Pregnant Nara Smith Cheekily Shares Baby Names She's Not Using
Nara Smith is sharing her baby names that aren't making the cut.
The influencer—who is expecting her fourth baby with husband Lucky Blue Smith—has a big decision to make when it comes to coming up with an equally unique baby name to join kids Rumble Honey, 4, Slim Easy, 3, and Whimsy Lou, 14 months. And there are plenty that she’s scratched off her list.
"Baby names I won't be using this time around," she began her June 30 TikTok video. "I'm currently six months pregnant with my fourth. For reference, our kids all have pretty unique names."
She continued, "So it's getting harder and harder coming up with names, but here are some names I love that are on my list that I won't be using."
But Nara cheekily began her list with a joke, poking fun at how social media users often roast her creative children’s names.
"The first name is Moonbeam and the second name is Ice Cream—I think that that's just so beautiful," she said before stopping to laugh, referencing the hit Benson Boone song. "I'm just joking, I've seen the comments."
The 23-year-old then got down to the real names on her list that just missed the mark, sharing, "Starting off with some boy names, I love the name Moss, Goody, Sundae,” as in the ice cream, as well as the monikers Champ, Silk and Dare for boys.
And while she feels "boy names are a little easier to come up with,” Nara then revealed the unique girl names she's been loving, including Twinkle, Velvet, Berry, Merit and Shimmer.
"Button is so cute to me," she continued. "Willowmere, which feels like a more classic name."
Nara also admitted that she loves the name Apple, but quipped that she “won't be using [it] because it's been used before,” apparently referring to Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s daughter Apple Martin.
The model then explained that there's one name she really loves, but her husband shut it down.
"Another name that I love that Lucky does not like at all,” she noted, “so it didn't even make it into our list is Butter.”
When it comes to baby No. 4, Nara said she plans to stick with the two-name pattern, explaining, "All of these can kind of go as a first or second name."
Ultimately, she noted that naming her fourth is a tough decision, concluding, "It's getting harder to name children for me."

As Gwyneth Paltrow explained to Oprah Winfrey, her daughter's unforgettable name was actually picked by Chris Martin: "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, you know. Apples are so sweet and they're wholesome, and it's biblical."
Elon Musk introduced his and Grimes' baby boy X Æ A-12 to the world on Twitter in May 2020. They later modified the spelling of his name in order to meet California's legal guidelines, which only permit letters from the English alphabet. Switching over to roman numerals, the parents agreed to spell his name, X Æ A-Xii.
"X, the unknown variable," Grimes explained on Twitter. "Æ, my elven spelling of Ai (love &/or Artificial intelligence) A-12 = precursor to SR-17 (our favorite aircraft). No weapons, no defenses, just speed. Great in battle, but non-violent."
Grimes continued, "A=Archangel, my favorite song" with an accompanying a rat and sword emoji. "Metal rat."
In March 2022, she announced they had welcomed daughter Exa Dark Sideræl Musk via surrograte.
"Exa is a reference to the supercomputing term exaFLOPS (the ability to perform 1 quintillion floating-point operations per second)," she said. "Dark, meanwhile, is 'the unknown. People fear it but truly it's the absence of photons. Dark matter is the beautiful mystery of our universe.'"
Sideræl—pronounced "sigh-deer-ee-el"—is "the true time of the universe, star time, deep space time, not our relative earth time," she said, and a nod to her favorite Lord of the Rings character, Galadriel, who "chooses to abdicate the ring."
"In my 32 years of life I thought I had seen a lot of places, experienced a lot of things, met a lot of people and felt love...then came you," Shay Mitchell shared of picking a moniker for her and partner Matte Babel's eldest daughter.

Though they encountered some rough waters coming up with an equally impressive name for their son, they officially introduced the world to Aire a year after his 2022 arrival.

When we came to the name Suri, we both loved it. And we both said, 'Suri Cruise.' We later found out that it meant 'red rose,' and that was just a bonus. Suri—it was perfect."
