Apparently Kerry Washington had a baby girl and named her Isabelle Amarachi Asomugha. I love that name!

Isabelle is a lovely name, and I love the spelling choice!

It's the French spelling. :) It's always been quite a popular name among French speakers, but I've been surprised to see how popular it has been with English speakers in recent years (in all its variations.) It's one of my favourite girl names.

Roger Federer seems to have named his twins both Leonard. One's Lenny, and the other is Leo. Course, this is his second set of twins, so in fairness his brain is probably blown.

One might be Leopold. But yeah, he should have been thinking about this beforehand. :)

Bruce Willis' 5th daughter is named Evelyn Penn Willis. I do think it goes with all his other girls: Rumer, Scout, Tallulah, and Mabel.

Ciara's son Future Zahir. Which begs the question "Future Zahir, current who?"

Rachel Bilson is expecting a baby with Hayden Christensen.

Red Wolf Wed May 21, 2014 7:43 pm

NOOO!

LadyGayle Thu May 22, 2014 12:40 am

Huh. I had no idea those two were still together.

Carrie Ann Wed May 28, 2014 10:51 pm

Hayden Panettiere is (possibly?) pregnant.

Lil Kim named her daughter Royal Reign.

Raksha Mon Jun 09, 2014 10:43 pm

Well. That's a lot to live up to.

Kiran Mon Jun 09, 2014 11:21 pm

To be fair though, if Lil Kim named her kid Bethany or some such shit, I'd be disappointed.

Good luck to them both, tbh. Whatever else, Lil Kim gave me the Jump Off and for that I will always hold her dear.

Kelly Clarkson gives birth to daughter River Rose.

Is River turning into a girl's name these days, or has it always been co-ed? I don't think I'll ever hear the name River and not think of River Phoenix.

Binky Sat Jun 14, 2014 2:34 pm

I think there are definitely more male rivers.

Jenna Fischer had a daughter, Harper Marie. I feel like that's super popular now. I don't dislike it, but I would inevitably accidentally call them "Harpy."

Kelly must be a fan of Doctor Who.

Not exactly the same, but wasn't Rio a girl in the eighties song?

My niece is named River as is of course the Firefly character. A lot more boys are named it, but it's still fairly unisex.

whatthedeuce Sun Jun 15, 2014 9:54 pm

I love the name River though I've never heard it on a girl before. River Rose is a beautiful name!

LadyGayle Mon Jun 16, 2014 11:23 am

River Tam and River Song are the first associations my mind makes, so I think it's pretty much unisex. I think River and Rose are both lovely names but they don't go together particularly well. When Kelly's mad and hollering the full name, her tongue's liable to get tripped up.

Kristen Bell is expecting her second child.

Commence weeping and rending of garments: Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes are having a baby.

Snarryfan Wed Jul 09, 2014 5:59 pm

Per a tweet I just saw--it appears that RDJ and his wife may be having another baby.

7 months pregnant already! WOW! Proof that you can live a low-key life without the tabloids figuring things out.
