    In recent years, the announcement of celebrity baby names have become a highly anticipated event for fans and followers.
    It all began back in 2004 when Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin named their daughter Apple, setting the trend for unique and quirky names.
    However, as time has gone on, celebrity baby names have become even more niche and unconventional. Take, for example, Elon Musk and Grimes, who named their daughter Exa Dark Sideræl, affectionately called “Y,” and their son, X Æ A-Xii, known as “X.” These names might seem outlandish to some, but they reflect the couple’s individuality and willingness to be bold with their choices.
    In this ever-evolving world of celebrity baby names, Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott recently joined the trend by naming their second child Aire. With each new name reveal, it seems like celebrities are constantly pushing the boundaries of traditional naming conventions and embracing their creativity.
    While some may find these names eccentric, they undoubtedly add a touch of uniqueness to the celebrity world and spark conversations among fans and the public. As the years go by, we can expect even more surprising and inventive names from our favorite stars.
    Here are some of our favourite unconventional celebrity baby names that made us think of the pronounciation twice.

    Kourtney Kardashian announces pregnancy with a Blink-182 reference

    The Kardashian-Barker clan is about to grow as Kourtney Kardashian is about to have a baby with her husband Travis Barker.
    The 44 years-old reality star married the Blink-182 drummer last April in an informal ceremony in Las Vegas — later, the duo got married officially in Italy a month later.
    The bride wore a mini Dolce Gabbana number with an extensive veil and the groom looked dapper in a tuxedo by the same Italian brand.
    While the couple have been friends and neighbours for years, they only started dating in 2021. Both Travis and Kourtney have three kids from their past relationships and are expecting their fourth child together.
    Both Travis and Kourtney have been open about their pregnancy journey and IVF struggles on the latter’s Hulu Reality show. After a long waiting period the duo announced this new in true punk rock style.
    At the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles last weekend, Kourtney chose an unorthodox way of announcing her pregnancy by holding a cardboard sign that read: “Travis I’m Pregnant.”

    The idea behind this sign reveal came from Blink-182’s 1999 hit music video, “All The Small Things,” in which a fan can be seen holding up a sign that also reads, “Travis I’m Pregnant.”
    After letting the world in on their happy news, the couple also shared a few pictures together with a heartfelt caption,“Overwhelmed with gratitude and joy for God’s blessing and plan.” More

    Kylie, Kim K call out controversial Instagram update: ‘Stop trying to be TikTok’

    Lifestyle

    If you’re an avid social media user, you’ll be well aware of the recent updates to Instagram and if you’re not, in short, the app has seemingly become remarkably similar to its competitor TikTok.
    The interface of Instagram and scroll option has largely stayed the same since its launch back in 2013 and has first and foremost been a photo-sharing app.
    However, the recent update has seen the layout change to prioritising video – namely Instagram Reels, which launched in 2020 – just like TikTok.
    It’s a change which hasn’t been welcomed by the Instagram community with two of its biggest users, Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian, calling out the controversial update.
    Both the beauty entrepreneurs and sisters reshared a post on the social media platform, criticising Instagram for “trying to be TikTok”.

    “Make Instagram Instagram again (stop trying to be TikTok. I just want to see cute photos of my friends). Sincerely, everyone,” the message read.
    It’s not the first time Jenner has spoken out against social media updates with it then having a huge knock-on effect.
    The beauty mogul was previously an avid Snapchat user, but back in 2018, she admitted she didn’t use it anymore following its redesign. Subsequently, Snapchat’s stock dropped eight per cent in one day and it reportedly lost a market value of over $1 billion.
    Given both Jenner and Kardashian have huge followings – 361 million and 326 million, respectively – speaking out is bound to have some sort of response, and indeed it appears it has.
    Following the two sisters’ criticism over the updates, Instagram’s CEO, Adam Mosseri, took to Twitter to share a video addressing the backlash admitting the new design wasn’t “good yet”.

    👋🏼 There’s a lot happening on Instagram right now.
    I wanted to address a few things we’re working on to make Instagram a better experience.
    Please let me know what you think 👇🏼 pic.twitter.com/x1If5qrCyS

    He also insisted that Instagram would “continue to support photos”. “It’s part of our heritage,” he added. “You know I love photos. I know a lot of you out there love photos too.”
    However, moving forward he did admit Instagram would become more video-centric.
    “That said, I need to be honest — I do believe more and more of Instagram is going to become video over time,” he said.
    So, despite the criticism, it seems the TikTok-era of Instagram is well and truly here to stay.
