No Doubt guitarist Tom Dumont and wife Mieke are proud parents to two little boys, having welcomed son Rio Atticus Dumont on Wednesday, June 18. Tom, 40, announced the news in the No Doubt official forum, and revealed that baby and mom "are both happy and doing well." He added,

We're very, very elated and a little tired, but wanted to let you know as soon as we could.

Mieke's pregnancy was announced in January; Rio joins big brother Ace Joseph, 2, at home.

from celebritybabyblog.com, Sorry if this has been posted already.

I like Ace for a girl, and Rio as a NN for River.

It makes me think of the DuranDuran song, Rio which goes, " HER name is Rio.."
So its a girls name to me.
I feel its in poor taste, but thats me!

I love Ace and only for a boy. Rio is also very cute. I think the names sound really good together.

Whoa! Trendy. I can't really stand either combo. I like Joseph and Rio a lot (Rio I might not like, but it's the name of Marlon Brando's character in one of my favorite movies, "One-Eyed Jacks"), but Ace and Atticus just cute-ify the living bejesus out of both names.

Rio? That's lame. So is Ace, but this is just my opinion.

Wow

With all the horrible celebrity baby names, I'm quite impressed. Rio is really nice without being trendy or boring and Atticus makes a really cool MN. Ace Joseph is okay, but I really don't like Ace as a full name

I like it!

Rio is fun and interesting without being kre8yve or bizarre, and Atticus is a great literary name.

Ace Joseph doesn't seem to match, though. Ace doesn't seem like a name to me, and Joseph is a bit plain.

I love the name Rio. Atticus is ok too. I think it's a nice name.
