[Opinions] Celebrity BAs
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and wife Dr. PriscillaCillaChan welcomed daughter Maxima 'Max' Chan Zuckerberg.American actor Cam Gigandet and fiancée Dominique Geisendorff welcomed daughter Armie Heartly Gigandet. She joins big brother Rekker Radley, 3, and sister Everleigh Ray, 6½.

American actress Sandra Bullock has adopted daughter Laila (pronounced Lila -I assume they mean ' LIE-lə' ), 3½. She joins big brother Louis Bardo Bullock (pronounced 'loo-EE'), 5. Louis was adopted as a baby and she named him, but since Laila was adopted as a toddler she was probably already named.

Normally I don't mind Maxima (it sounds nice on the Dutch queen), but on Zuckerberg's baby it sounds a little ostentatious. And Max as a nickname on a girl sounds awful.

I like Maxima, but not the nn Max. I think Mima or Maxie would be better nns.
Armie Heartley, Rekker Radley and Everleigh Ray are all AWFUL. Sound like gun-toting NRA hillbillies.
Laila is cute. LIE-la is the way we pronounce it in Swedish, and this variant is originally a Saami name.

Maxima is sweet. I wondered if Max was the full name and I sort of cringed, but hearing its Maxima is so much better. Is Chan the middle name?Armie is dumb, but then so is Rekker and Everleigh (to a degree).

They didn’t mention if Chan was the middle name, but I assume so. I mean, Zuckerberg isn't the easiest surname and I doubt they add anything to it. Max Zuckerberg is fairly short and simple.

Oh I was wondering if "Max" was short for anything, since thats what has been on facebook. Good. Maxima. Nice. I have no idea who the second guy is. Lower level celebrities always have weirder baby names, has anyone noticed? Weirder in a bad way usually but not always (I mean we always give "Pilot Inspektor" as the best example of a bad celebrity baby name, but does anyone actually talk about Jason Lee otherwise?)Laila is okay.

I think I kinda noticed that. It seems like D-listers like that just want attention.

Armie and Rekker ... such lovely and uplifting names! I wish I could have been named for some type of destruction or military - it would have made me feel so loved and welcome in the world, to be anything I wanted to be. Maybe they might name their next children Rayper Rewdley and Battalianne Gritlee. New babies are so inspiring!Armie would be a damn cute name for an octopus. Come to think of it.

I dislike the way the little girl will be called Max since I dont really like the name already and I think even less on a girl.
I like Armie and Everleigh but I'm not sure about Rekker just yet.
And both Laila and Louis are beautiful
