Nice celeb baby name

Megan Fox and her husband Brian Green named their son Noah Shannon Green. I love the name! So normal. It's nice seeing Shannon on a boy for a change.

Cute name

Heard this one recently. A friend of a friend named her daughter Emma Elizabeth. Common but cute. They plan on calling her Emma Beth.

Tori and Dean

Tori Spelling gave birth to her 4th child. A boy named Finn Davey McDermott. I absolutely love the name. Tori and Dean also have Liam Aaron(5), Stella Doreen(4) and Hattie Margaret(10 months) Dean also has a 13 yr old son named Jack from a previous marriage. Nice names all around.

Celeb Baby

Master Chef, Graham Bowles and his wife named their son, Jedidiah Lindsay. I love this name! Jedidiah is one of my favorite biblical names. I love to see people recognize that Lindsay is male and actually use it for a boy.

Cora

Cora. I love that name. Why isn't it more popular?

Good and Bad

Kourtney Kardashian's baby is here! It's a girl! Penelope Scotland Disick. I was so shocked by Penelope that Scotland didn't register with me immediately. Scotland is gross.  Penelope is lovely.

Hilary Duff!

I love the name that Hilary and her husband Mike Comrie chose for their son. Luca Cruz Comrie. Luca is one of my favorites. Cruz is nice too. The flow is a little off. Too many "C's", but it's nice. Finally, a celeb with some taste!

2012

What names do you think will become popular in 2012? I think we will see the "Twilight" names become even more popular like Isabella/Bella, Edward and Cullen. I hope we won't see anymore babies named Renesmee. LOL! I think the name Aria will catch on. Aria is the name is a character on Pretty Little Liars. There is also an Arya on Game of thrones. Arabella is another name I think will become more popular. It is similar to Isabella but not as popular yet. I think Gemma might rise. Gemma is the name of a character on the new CW show, Ringer. It's also similar to Emma so it's not so different that it might turn people off. Damon is seeing a rise in popularity thanks to the CW show The Vampire Diaries. Elena is another name from TVD that is growing. Elena is also popular with the Hispanic community. Kellen/Kellan is growing from boys. Kellan Lutz plays Emmett in the Twilight movies. The name Emmett is also growing for boys. Here's to hoping that popular pregnant celebs choose better names for their babies in 2012 because they clearly influence baby naming trends.
