December 19, 2008 By appellationmountain 11 Comments

Angie Harmon and Jason Sehorn welcomed their third daughter, Emery Hope, yesterday. Reports indicate that mom and baby are doing well. Their older girls are called Finley Faith and Avery Grace, so her middle name is not a shocker. And Emery fits right in with the last-names-first, borrowed-from-the-boys choices Finley and Avery. What strikes us […]

Starbaby News: Welcome Bronx Mowgli

November 21, 2008 By appellationmountain 16 Comments

We’ve all joked about those babes called Brooklyn, asking if their sib would be called Manhattan. As of today, we can report that Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz are parents to the punchline, newborn son Bronx Mowgli. As for that middle name? Mowgli is the boy from a series of Rudyard Kipling stories, one of […]

November 13, 2008 By appellationmountain Leave a Comment

Despite our addiction to Celebrity Baby Blog, we don’t attempt to cover every starbaby to arrive. That’s their gig, and they’re brilliant about it. But we couldn’t help notice a flurry of interesting name announcements on the heels of Sunny Madeline yesterday. Just in case you missed them, here they are: Actor Rob Corddry, best […]

Starbaby News: Sadie’s Little Sis is Sunny

November 12, 2008 By appellationmountain 14 Comments

Adam Sandler is a dad again! His wife Jackie gave birth to the couple’s second daughter on November 2, and reports are that everyone is doing fine. While their firstborn’s name – Sadie Madison – isn’t our style, we rather like her jazzy vibe. But if Sadie is a diminutive that can stand alone, the […]

We’ve stumbled across this one before, but admit that we knew nothing about her until Christina was good enough to nominate her as our exotic, Eastern-leaning Name of the Day: Zenaida.

Congrats to Amy Poehler and Will Arnett on the birth of Archie. Word is that he arrived yesterday and Mom, Dad and baby are all doing well. We’ve yet to learn if Archie is the full name or short for Archibald. (Or Archer, maybe?) But we’re quite excited about the first name – it’s a […]

Gillian Anderson, mom to Piper and Oscar, has welcomed her third child – a son called Felix! We’re a bit late reporting the news, but couldn’t help bring it up for two reasons: What a fabulous name! Anyone else think that Oscar will fling his toy dinosaurs all over the playroom while Felix arranges his […]

Name of the Day: Raymond

October 14, 2008 By appellationmountain 8 Comments

Everybody loves Raymond. At least plenty of people tuned in for the long-running CBS sitcom. But would this name wear well on a real boy? Thanks to Lola and Nicole (aka Dirty Hippy) for suggesting today’s Name of the Day.

Name of the Day: Story

October 12, 2008 By appellationmountain 11 Comments

We’ll admit it. We like word names. They’re unusual and distinctive, but are still familiar and easy to spell. So when the third starbaby in recent years received this one as part of his name, our ears perked up. In honor of the birth of Minnie Driver’s son, here’s our Name of the Day: Story.

Name of the Day: Walter

October 8, 2008 By appellationmountain 29 Comments

If you came of age with Jason and Michael, Brian and Chris, maybe this choice strikes you as hopelessly clunky and out-of-date.
