The couple announced the pregnancy last Spring, saying they were “utterly thrilled.” No word on a name yet. Too bad we can’t FlashForward and report back what they decide to name her.

• Billie – Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart

The couple just named their newborn daughter Billie. There are a couple other famous Billies like like Billie Holiday (whose real name was Elinore Harris), Billie Jean King and of course the Billie Jean of Michael Jackson song fame. Another famous parent Carrie Fisher named her girl Billie as well.

• Lou – Heidi Klum and Seal

The power couple named their youngest  with the very boyish title Lou. Heidi said of the name that, “We had four or five names that we really liked. We wanted to wait until she came out and then we liked Lou. I liked Ellie, but she looked more like a Lou. Lou was the winner.”

• Charlie – Rebecca Rojimn and Jerry O’Connell

Charlie’s twin sister was named the utlra girly name Dolly so it’s interesting that there is such a contrast between the two names. Rebecca is apparently a really big Dolly Parton fan (hence the Dolly). As for Charlie, Jerry’s brother just happens to share that name. Good thing his name was Chuck.

• Emerson - Teri Hatcher

The name Emerson literally means Son Of Emery. But in this case it’s Daughter of Teri. But Teridaughter doesn’t really have the same ring.

• Teddy Jo – John Cougar Mellencamp

When I think of the name Teddy I think Teddy Roosevelt or Teddy Kennedy. So basically I think of robust male politicians not little girls, but it looks like John Cougar doesn’t see it that way. And the Jo really does soften it.

• Brody – Gabrielle Reece

Gaining popularity with the girl set, the name Brody still reminds me of the prep school boy who stole daddy’s keys to the Porsche.  Basically Brody Jenner of the infamous Hollywood social set.

• Scout – Bruce Willis / Demi Moore

There was a day when the name Scout was the nickname for a cute littleboy, the kid who delivered the newspaper, who cleaned up at the barber shop, or who was aiming for that next merit badge. But now, thanks to Demi and Bruce,  it’s a modern gals name that sounds totally Hollywood.

• Spencer – Kelsey Grammer

Spencer Tracy is who I immediatly think of when I think of the name Spencer. Basically a vision of someone’s white haired grandpa. But actually, it’s a pretty darn cute name for a little girl.

• Bobbi – Whitney Houston/Bobby Brown

Since Bobbi turned out to be a girl, she couldn’t very well be Bobby Jr.. So they opted for girlying it up with an ‘i’ at the end.

• Dexter – Diane Keaton

Many of the above names have become commonplace for girls such as Charlie, Bobbi and Billie. But Dexter? Not many gals walking around with that name! Diane Keaton’s daughter is named Dexter and hopefully doesn’t find any common traits with Dexter of HBO fame.

• Satchel – Spike Lee

Knowing that Spike Lee is a big sports fan, you could only assume that Satchel was named for the legendary ball player Satchel Paige. Legendary male ballplayer that is.

All in all, there is nothing at all wrong with claiming these traditionally male sounding names for the female population. It’s cool, it’s hip and non-gender specific which really is a good thing. But please stop before it gets to Lester, Ralph or Harry.

Rocko Akira Clapp was born on Sunday night in L.A. He weighed in at 3.6 kilograms and measured 50 centimetres long.

What do you think of the name Rocko Akira? Is this one to add to the top ten celeb names of 2009?

Victoria Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio gave birth to her first child – a daughter, Anja Louise, on August 24 - and it's reported that the sexy new mom has been getting offers for the 'first exclusive shots' of her newborn.  Will she sell her baby's photos like some of the other celebs?

According to the New York Post, Ambrosio wants to secure a magazine deal and has been offered a few from different publications.  With big payouts that Jennifer Lopez, Matthew McConaughey and the Jolie-Pitts got, the supermodel might be holding out for just the right offer.

The model is apparently going to donate any money she receives to the Multiple Sclerosis Children's Fund, so I guess we can cut her some slack if she does indeed sell her baby's pic.

Everyone likes a little competition in their lives.  Some people run marathons and some play fantasy football, anything for a bit of heated rivalry. 

Hollywood hipsters have a contest, too.  It's called the baby name game.  

I just made that up, but it seems like there is something going on, doesn't it?  We have Peanut, Apple, Pilot Inspektor, Zuma and a long list of others.  Baby names is big business.  It's the big game hunting of the 21st century, but instead of mounting the trophy on a wall for people to gaze upon they get photographed by strangers all day for people to gaze upon.

We thought it would be fun to get in on the action, but since we're not celebrities, or expecting for that matter, we'll just do an informal poll instead.  That's still fun, right?

What's your pick for the next celebrity baby name?

Harlow Winter Kate – daughter of Nicole Richie and Joel Madden – might only be 6-months-old but that doesn't mean she's not getting used to a rock 'n' roll lifestyle!  The cute baby girl and her parents were spotted on the Good Charlotte tour bus.

Mark Wahlberg and wife-to-be Rhea Durham will not be taking the same road as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

The couple have decided to keep the birth of their 3rd child private and not sell any baby photos to the press.

“There will be no selling of our baby pictures, no hoopla, nothing like that,” says Wahlberg.

While I agree this latest money-making endevour reeks, the Jolie-Pitt’s DID give all their proceeds to charity.
