They named the little guy
Benjamin.
Benjamin Brady is nice.
Best & Worst of celeb baby names article:
"The celebrity name game year got off to an exciting start with the birth of
Jennifer Garner and
Ben Affleck's second daughter, whose name remained a mystery for more than a week.
When it was finally announced, it was so surprising and lovely that it made the long wait worthwhile:
Seraphina Rose Elizabeth, a shoo-in for one of the best celebrity baby names of the year.
Our other nominees for best celebrity baby girl name:
Mabel Painter:
Chad Lowe's little girl's name is a charming, quirky vintage choice, with an original artistic middle name from the hot occupational genre.
Helena Grace: The classic
Helena is a name just emerging from the attic, chosen by Gossip Girl's
Kelly Rutherford. Its originality makes up for the lovely yet somewhat standard-issue
Grace in the middle place.
Paloma Louise:
Ana Ortiz chose this exotic-yet-familiar name for her daughter, with the original
Louise, tres chic in
Paris, in the middle.
Phoebe Margaret:
Phoebe is a mythological and biblical name that's newly finding favour, chosen for her newborn daughter by
Julianne Nicholson.
For boys nominees for best name are:
Walker Nathaniel: Idina Menzel and Taye Diggs chose this occupational surname name with the Biblical
Nathaniel in the middle.
Jasper Warren: The gently old-fashioned
Jasper is the choice of actress
Kimberly Williams-Paisley and country singer
Brad Paisley;
Warren in the middle is another long-ignored choice due for revival.
Otis Tobias: The bluesy
Otis is an offbeat choice of Tobey Maguire and
Jennifer Meyer, whose older child has the equally distinctive name of
Ruby Sweetheart.
Beckett
Edward:
Nicole Sullivan chose the surname-first Beckett, a new celebrity favourite, for her son, with Twilight hottie
Edward in middle place.
Blaise Ray:
Blaise is the fiery old saint's name revived by
Amanda Beard for her son, with jazz favourite
Ray in the middle.
And as for the worst?
The nominees are, for girls:
Bandit
Lee:
Gerard Way's new daughter has a name fit for a criminal, though boy names like
Ryker and Gunner are on the rise.
Anniston
Kae: Chyler
Leigh gave her daughter colleague
Jennifer's last name, though
Jolie is higher on the popularity list.
Mars Merkaba:
Erykah Badu tweeted her labour and initially claimed she named her baby Twitty Milk. The real name,
Mars Merkaba, sounded almost great after that. Almost.
For boys, we're sorry to say it was much harder to whittle the worst list down to just three. But our final nominees are:
Kaydnz Koda: TPain's son's name takes yooneek spellings to new lowz.
Ikhyd
Edgar Arular: M.I.A. rocked her son's name, but won't the kids call him Ikky?
Sparrow James Midnight:
Love or hate
Nicole Richie and
Joel Madden's newborn son's name? Some see it as charming and original, others as the name of a drab little bird."
