Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra’s Baby Name REVEALED
Born to fame, you will remember their name.
Many celebs have opted to give their children unique names. In recent years, the list has included Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas, who welcomed their firstborn child, a daughter, via surrogate in January. Her name is Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, her birth certificate shows.
While the couple has not commented on the moniker of their now 3-month-old, Malti is a name that originates from Hindu which means a jasmine flower, according to babynames.com.
Gwyneth Paltrow famously raised eyebrows back in 2004 when she and Chris Martin named their daughter Apple. In 2014, Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling introduced the world to Esmeralda Amada, their first daughter, named after the character in classic novel, The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
And then there’s Elon Musk and on-again, off-again partner Grimes, who famously named their first child together, a son, X Æ A-12. The almost 2-year-old’s name was later altered slightly to become X Æ A-Xii, to comply with California’s legal guidelines.
In March, Grimes revealed that she and Elon, her now-ex, recently welcomed a baby girl, Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, via surrogacy.

Singer Grimes said in an interview with Vanity Fair, published in March 2022, that she and Elon Musk privately welcomed a baby girl recently via surrogacy.
“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,” and a nod to her favorite Lord of the Rings character, Galadriel, who “chooses to abdicate the ring.”

Elon Musk introduced his and Grimes‘ baby boy X Æ A-12 to the world on Twitter in May 2020.
