Allen - Try the French Alain if Allen is too typical.

Lennon - Lennon hops on the last-names-as-first-names craze while still sounding artsy-cool.

Orson - Maybe a baby named in honor of film director, screenwriter, and actor Orson Welles, will spare you the cartoons and just watch stark, black-and-white films with baby like Citizen Kane.

Atticus - Since we are talking about movies, why not name your baby after the unforgettable Atticus Finch, the fatherly hero and lawyer in the classic To Kill a Mockingbird?

Thelonious - you might find this name cemented in hipsterdom by jazz musician Thelonious Monk.

Jasper - Grab some inspiration from modern artist Jasper Johns, but another artsy name idea? Jackson, for splatter-paint legend Jackson Pollock.

Wren - it is a type of bird. 

Matilda - Just pretend you werent actually inspired by Michelle Williams daughter, who has the same name.

Tallulah - This Native American name for wide-open prairies and simple living, yet it's ironic cool for the always-plugged-in family who hasnt been out of range of a Starbucks in years.

Clementine - This is a stylish name that celebs like Claudia Schiffer and Ethan Hawke have chosen for their daughters.

Zooey - This name isnt quite so original now that the cute, quirky actress Zooey Deschanel has made her mark.

Seraphina - This name was totally off the charts when Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner named their daughter this in 2009, but just tell your friends that you don't read People magazine.

Florence - This name could serve as a souvenir from a trip to the Italian city or for singer Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine.
