In a surprising twist, it was talk show host Ellen DeGeneres who played a major role in naming Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo’s first child. The Maroon 5 frontman revealed on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” that it was DeGeneres herself who came up with the unique moniker for their daughter, Dusty Rose.
Naming a child is no easy task, and Levine compared the process to songwriting, acknowledging that it can be a tough game. After much deliberation, he decided to seek DeGeneres’ opinion on the name he had chosen. However, her initial reaction was not what he had hoped for. “I texted Ellen and I was like, ‘What do you think?’ She was like, ‘I hate it. I think it’s a terrible name,'” Levine shared (via E! News). Despite this, DeGeneres didn’t leave him hanging and offered five alternative names, including Dusty. “You basically named my kid,” Levine admitted.

Initially, Prinsloo had reservations about the name, but she eventually grew to love it. And it seems that DeGeneres had a hand in the final decision. “I had already thought of Dusty and then someone said ‘Dusty Rose.’ I said, ‘Oh, that’s her name,’ and so I texted you, ‘Dusty Rose,'” DeGeneres revealed to Levine.
Levine has been open about his love for his daughter, often gushing about her during his appearances on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” In one interview, he couldn’t contain his excitement and described his daughter as “unbelievable.” “I’m so in love with her. It’s crazy,” he shared.
Dusty Rose’s name has certainly caught the attention of many, as it is not a name commonly heard. The unique choice reflects the couple’s desire to give their daughter a distinctive identity. It also aligns with the trend of celebrities opting for unconventional names for their children.
The influence of celebrities on baby name trends is nothing new. Many parents look to their favorite stars for inspiration when naming their own children. Names like Apple (Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s daughter), North (Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s daughter), and Blue Ivy (Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s daughter) have all made headlines and sparked conversations about unique baby names.
In the case of Dusty Rose, the name carries a beautiful and poetic quality. It not only captures the attention but also evokes a sense of elegance and charm. The combination of “Dusty,” a word that often conjures up images of nostalgia and warmth, with “Rose,” a symbol of beauty and love, creates a name that is both unique and meaningful.
As for the future, Dusty Rose’s parents have yet to reveal whether they plan to continue the trend of unique names for their other children. However, with such creative minds in the mix, it wouldn’t be surprising if they continue to surprise us with their choices.
In conclusion, the story of how Dusty Rose got her name is a testament to the power of friendship and the influence of celebrity connections. Ellen DeGeneres’ input not only helped Levine and Prinsloo find the perfect name for their daughter but also added a touch of uniqueness to her identity. Dusty Rose is a name that will surely be remembered and celebrated for years to come.
