Celebrity Babies Quiz
Introduction
Let’s be honest celebrities name their babies some *interesting* things. From fruit to directions to words nobody even uses anymore, it’s like there’s a secret competition to see who can come up with the weirdest one.
That’s exactly what makes the Celebrity Babies Quiz such a fun baby shower game. You’ll give your guests a list of celebrity parents and a bunch of baby names, and they have to match them up. Some names are sweet and normal, some are straight-up confusing, and a few sound like someone let a toddler choose.
Even people who don’t follow celeb gossip usually get into it. It’s quick, silly, and you’re guaranteed to hear at least one person say, 'There’s no way that’s a real name…' (Spoiler: it probably is.)
What You’ll Need
- A printed list of celebrity names and a mixed-up list of their babies’ names
- Answer sheets or plain paper and pens for guests to write their guesses
- A key with the correct matches for scoring afterward
- Optional: a prize for the winner or a funny 'Most Confused' award
- Optional: photos of the celeb parents or babies if you want to make it visual
How to Play
- Before the shower, make a list of 10–15 celebrity baby names. Some popular ones, some weird ones, and a few wildcards for laughs.
- Print or write out two columns one with celeb parents, one with baby names but scramble them so they don’t match up.
- Hand out the lists and let guests try to match each parent to the correct baby name. They can work solo or in teams.
- Once everyone’s done (or you call time), go through the correct answers one by one trust us, the reactions are half the fun.
- Whoever gets the most right wins! If there’s a tie, throw in a bonus round with a tiebreaker baby name that’s extra obscure.
Fun Variations
Play it Jeopardy-style: read the name and have people guess the celebrity parent

Add a photo round match the celeb baby photo to the name (if you can find them)
Make it a speed round first one to call out the right match wins the point
Flip it: give the baby names and let people guess whether they’re real or made up
Why Guests Love It
- It’s light, silly, and doesn’t require any baby knowledge just pop culture guessing skills
- Even the people who say 'I don’t know any celebrities' usually end up laughing the most
- It sparks conversations like 'Would *you* ever name your baby that?'
- There’s always a surprise one name that nobody can believe is real
Conclusion
