When Kylie Jenner announced that she had welcomed Wolf Webster with Travis Scott, the internet began buzzing about animal baby names.

But Jenner is hardly the first to choose a unique baby name for their zooborn — err, newborn.

Jessica Simpson welcomed daughter Birdie in 2019. Busy Philipps also chose Birdie for her daughter, born in 2008, and welcomed a second girl, Cricket, in 2013.

Other celebrity babies with animal names include: Charlie Wolf (Lauren Conrad), Colette Koala (Macklemore), Elsie Otter (Zooey Deschanel), Sparrow James Midnight (Nicole Richie and Joel Madden), Bear Blaze (Kate Winslet), Jack Lion (Amy Lee), and Mirabella Bunny (Bryan Adams).
