Well, he's 68, which is...wow. But at least he's in the habit of bestowing human names upon his offspring.

Slightly OT: On the topic of naming kids, I can't stop laughing at the fact that one of the students at the school where I work is named Deniro. His parents must be huge fans!

Lis Sun Dec 25, 2011 3:57 pm

so he's going to be allowed to help name another human

There's a comment underneath the article you posted: "I’d suggest Kelly-Lumberjack. That is if they want to keep the androgynous first name-ridiculously stereotypical gendered profession combo." Hehehe.

So...I am probably way behind on this, but I've just learned that Dido named her baby Stan.

Really, Dido? I mean, REALLY?

I forgot she was even alive.

Beyonce gives birth, according to reports, to a daughter. Although it's not confirmed, apparently she may be named Tiana May Carter. Which I actually really like.

Unlucky Bear Sat Dec 31, 2011 3:32 am

That IS a nice name, but I'm kind of disappointed it's not crazier.

whatthedeuce Sat Dec 31, 2011 4:40 am

I was rooting for Rainbow Jazz Hands Carter, but Tiana May is nice, too.

Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart had a girl named Georgia Geraldine.

whatthedeuce Sat Dec 31, 2011 4:41 pm

I feel like Rebecca Gayheart's been pregnant forever. I thought they'd already had their kid months ago, but clearly, I was mistaken. Georgia's a very pretty name. I wonder if Rebecca got it from Georgia "George" Lass on Dead Like Me.

Lily Allen has apparently named her daughter Ethel Mary.

ActonBell Wed Jan 04, 2012 12:56 pm

That's a very Downton Abbey name. I like it.

MtOlivePickles Wed Jan 04, 2012 11:49 pm

Aw, that is a delightfully Edwardian name.

caltrask55 Thu Jan 05, 2012 10:54 am

Call me crazy but....I have been looking at this picture of Charlie and Denise and the girls and....that new "adopted" baby looks a LOT like the other two girls. If you ask me she has "Sheen" all over her face. I would not be surprised to find out that is actually Charlie's kid.

naughty zoot Thu Jan 05, 2012 10:58 am

I cannot approve of naming anything under the age of 80 Ethel.

Instant Monkeys Thu Jan 05, 2012 2:55 pm

Yeah, I've gotta say...I'm down with Hazel, Ruth, Pearl, Agnes, Edith, Esther, Florence, and a lot of other "grandma" names that are coming back into circulation. But Ethel...I'm not quite there. Not QUITE yet. Maybe in a couple of years I'll be there.

That aside, I am EXTREMELY happy for her.

Kiran Thu Jan 05, 2012 5:34 pm

I'm very happy for her, and I'm glad its a real name. Its just a name I'm not a fan of, but whatever.

bookworm Thu Jan 05, 2012 6:29 pm

It could be a family name.

Keri Russell had a baby girl and named her Willa Lou.

I think that's lovely.

Sienna Miller and Tom Sturridge are having a baby.

I fear for that child's wardrobe.

I fear for that child's hygiene.

And for some reason I thought he was much younger than he is and she was much older (she's only 30? REALLY?).

Kiran Fri Jan 06, 2012 6:48 pm

I think its because shes been around forever and has generally dated older men.

I fear for that child's hair.

Jude Fri Jan 06, 2012 8:24 pm

Aww, Tom was so pretty in Pirate Radio. Now? Not so much.

I've heard that Sienna Miller isn't all that nice a person, though I'm not sure where I got that and therefore I could be wrong. Congrats to them, though! Bet the child will be born with lots and lots and lots of hair.
