Elon Musk, for example, attracted attention from millions of people worldwide when he called his son X Æ A-12, which is pronounced as Kyle, and then gave his daughter the name “Y.” Paris Hilton most recently declared the arrival of her second child, a baby girl. The diva has also chosen to maintain her daughter’s name after the charming city of London, much like her own name is after the capital of France.
