For those of you in the US, I hope you had a firecracker of a holiday!
The big starbaby news of the week was the reveal of Tobey Maguire’s son’s name: Otis Tobias, little brother to Ruby Sweetheart.
Other celeb news:

Cobie Smulders of How I Met Your Mother welcomed a daughter, Shaelyn Cado;
Baywatch/Playboy alum Gena Lee Nolin posed [...]


The big news from the week was the birth of the SJP/Matthew Broderick twins.  Elisabeth at You Can’t Call It “It” pegged Marion Loretta and Tabitha as Mid-Century Modern – and rightly pointed out that many recent Names of the Day suggested by AppMtn readers are in the same mode.  The trends, they are a-changin’ [...]


According to People Magazine and Celebrity Baby Blog, James Wilkie is a big brother!  Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick have welcomed twin daughters.
I’m eagerly awaiting news of their names – as if growing up with Carrie Bradshaw and Ferris Bueller isn’t cool enough, I think the couple did a fine job naming their firstborn.
If [...]


Into every generation a vampire romance is born.  That’s usually not big news in baby naming circles.
But the current hot series about the undead – Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight – could influence baby names for the next generation.


The big news this week was, of course, the new addition to Kimora Lee Simmons’ family, her son with actor Djimon Hounsou, Kenzo Lee.  The self-proclaimed model-mogul-mom also has two daughters/reality starlets, Ming Lee and Aoki Lee.

The Social Security Administration should release the 2008 US Top 1000 in a few days.  It’s sort of like Christmas-meets-the-Fourth-of-July here at AppMtn.
Plenty of parents turn to the rankings as part of choosing a baby name.  You’ll often hear expectant moms and dads mention that they’re avoiding the Top Ten.  Or Top 100.  The question [...]


It’s here!  Earlier this week, the Nameberry gurus published Cool Irish Names for Babies.  I’ll publish a review in a few days, but for now, here’s the news:

Make Me a Supermodel Season Two is now showing on Bravo.  Contestants included Salome, Sandhurst (he’s from Trinidad and Tobago) and Mountaha (she’s from Brazil.)

It doesn’t get much more classic.  This choice has been worn by saints, kings and a world famous fictional spy.
He’s also reader Kayt’s beautiful new baby boy, the inspiration for the Name of the Day: James.


Playgrounds teem with Jacobs.  History books are packed with Jameses.  The animated Diego appears on lunchboxes everywhere and we’re quite keen on Giacomo.  Ready or not, here comes yet another fashionable twist on that tireless appellation.
