X Æ A-12 is officially a big brother.
Grimes and Elon Musk secretly welcomed a second child—a baby girl they nicknamed Y—in December 2021, via a surrogate, the musician told Vanity Fair.
Their daughter’s full name is Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, “Exa” being a reference to a supercomputing term and “Dark” representing “the unknown” and the “dark matter [that] is the beautiful mystery of our universe.” Sideræl, meanwhile, nods to her favorite Lord of the Rings character, Galadriel. Still, Grimes revealed that she was originally fighting for the name Odysseus. “I was fighting for Odysseus Musk,” she told the magazine. “A girl named Odysseus is my dream.”
The two welcomed their first child, a baby boy they nicknamed X, in May 2020. Pregnancy complications with X helped drive the decision to use a surrogate this time around.
“He was pressing on my nerves, so I kept collapsing,” Grimes recalled of her first pregnancy. “I took a few steps and collapsed. It was kind of scary, because you don’t want to fall a lot when you’re eight months pregnant. So I would just crawl to the bathroom and crawl back or whatever.” At one point, she said she thought she was dying. “Like, I hemorrhaged. It was scary.”
Despite welcoming a second child together, Grimes is still cryptic when it comes to clarifying her relationship status with the Tesla CEO. (The two reportedly split last September.)
“There’s no real word for it,” she said. “I would probably refer to him as my boyfriend, but we’re very fluid. We live in separate houses. We’re best friends. We see each other all the time. … We just have our own thing going on, and I don’t expect other people to understand it.”

I don't know, but here's a list of some other weird baby names:
https://bestbabylullabies.com/50-weirdest-baby-names-ever
There are 50 names in the list, but here's the top 10:- ACE KNUTE
Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson’s second son.
The name is pronounced ‘ka-nute’ and was given to honor Johnson’s Swedish paternal grandfather.
The name Ace means ‘one or expert’. It is of Latin origin deriving from old French via the Latin word ‘as’ meaning ‘unity’, or ‘a unit’. Maybe Jim Carrey’s character, Ace Ventura, inspired these parents. - ALEPH
Benjamin Millepied and Natalie Portman’s son.
The name Aleph is a boy’s name of Hebrew origin meaning ‘chief, number one’ and Portman gave the name believing it to be imbued ‘with mystical, symbolic meanings of humility, strength’.
In the Kabbalah, Aleph/Alef relates to the origin of the universe. The letter Aleph is also the subject of a midrash, a Jewish folktale, which praises its humility in not demanding to start the Bible. - APPLE
Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow’s daughter.
This name caused quite the media stir in 2012 and was Chris Martin’s idea. Paltrow reports that she ‘loved the name straightaway’ due to its ‘uniqueness and how cool it sounded’. ‘Apple’ is an Old English word formerly spelled ‘æppel’. - APOLLO BOWIE FLYNN
Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani’s third son.
The name Apollo is derived from Apollōn, an ancient Greek name of unknown derivation. The name is borne in Greek mythology by the handsome son of Zeus and Leto and twin brother of the goddess Artemis. Apollo, one of the twelve major dieties, was the god of music, poetry, prophecy, and medicine. A powerful name!
The names Bowie and Flynn carry maternal sentiments for both the parents: Gwen’s mother’s maiden name was Flynn and Gavin’s was Bowie. - AUDIO SCIENCE
Dallas Clayton and Shannyn Sossamon’s son.
The name carries special meaning for the parents claiming they ‘wanted a word, not a name’. Originally, they wanted to call their son Science but were worried it would be shortened to Sci, referring to Simon. - BANJO
Andrew Taylor and Rachel Griffith’s son.
The word ‘banjo’ may derive from the Kimbundu word ‘mbanza’, which is an African string instrument modeled after the Portuguese banza: a vihuela with five two-string courses and a further two short strings.
Banjo is not a totally uncommon name. Andrew Barton ‘Banjo’ Paterson was a poet who wrote the lyrics to the song “Walzing Matilda” which is the unofficial national song of Australia. - BEAR BLAZE
Ned Rocknroll and Kate Winslet son.
This unusual name was given as a result of the parents meeting in a house of fire! Blaze is a boy’s name of Latin origin meaning ‘fire’ and originally a form of the saint’s name Blaise. - BEAR BLUE
Christopher Jarecki and Alicia Silverstone’s son:
The English word ‘bear’ comes from Old English ‘bera’ and belongs to a family of names for the bear in Germanic languages, such as Swedish ‘björn’, also used as a first name. This form is conventionally said to be related to a Proto-Indo-European word for ‘brown’, so that ‘bear’ would mean ‘the brown one’. However, these parents have shaded ‘bear’ with their own meaning whilst providing the name with an alliterative twist. - BIRDIE LEIGH
Marc Silverstein and Busy Philipps’ daughter.
The name Birdie is a girl’s name of English, Swedish origin meaning ‘bird’. The girl’s name Leigh \le(i)-gh, can also used as boy’s name Lee (Old English), and the meaning of Leigh is delicate; weary; meadow or pasture’. The Old English meaning is ‘a meadow’. - BINGHAM
Matt Bellamy and Kate Hudson’s son.
Bingham is an English habitational name from a place in Nottinghamshire called Bingham, from an unattested Old English clan name, Binningas. It is an Old English word’ bing’ meaning ‘a hollow’ or ‘homestead’. The name has special resonates for the parents. It was Bellamy’s mother’s maiden name, and the nickname Bing, coincidentally, belongs to almost-stepfather Kurt Russell’s dad.
