Maybe this has already been posted about, seeing as how I'm usually the last one to the party for this sorta thing ;) but, actress Thandie Newton recently gave birth to a baby boy and named him Booker JombeBooker joins older sisters Ripley (13) and Nico (9). - Can't find the girls' middle names anywhereAnyway, Wdyt? I think Booker is okish, especially next to a sister named Ripley..._______________________________________

I don’t mind Booker in general, but with his last name being Parker it seems like a really bad idea. Hopefully they plan to call him B.J.
Jombe is apparently a Zimbabwean last name and Thandie’s mother is from Zimbabwe.Her daughters were named after the character Ellen Ripley in the Alien films and the singer Nico - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nico, so I'm thinking Booker is Booker T. Washington.

I was assuming that about Booker also. I mean who else could he be named after?

Ripley?! No no no no no. Not a fan of Nico on either gender but next to Ripley it sounds fantastic! Booker is pretty bad. Clearly they like hyper-masculine names. It kind of reminds me of "booger" too :S
