Celebrity Babies Everywhere!!!

If you read Next Stop baby with any frequency (and I hope you do), you know that I can't help myself when it comes to celebrity baby news.  It's not a regular posting topic, but I do write about celeb baby names and celeb baby gossip (i.e. rumors about Jessica Simpson's baby name choice, Blue Ivy's conspiracy, etc.) when it's too hot to ignore.  Today is a discussion of both these topics together.

There have been SO many celebrities having babies over the past couple months.  So many.  Let's review with the assistance of some names, dates and photos:


Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler 
welcomed Camden Jack Cutler (boy) on August 8th

Kristin and Camden


Giuliana and Bill Rancic 
welcomed Edward Duke Rancic (boy) on August 29th

Edward


Vanessa Manillo and Nick Lachey 
welcomed Camden John Lachey (boy) on September 12th

Camden John (not to be confused with Camden Jack)


Adriana Lima and Marko Jaric 
welcomed Sienna Jaric (girl) on September 13th

Adriana (no pic of Sienna yet)


Melissa Joan Hart and Mark Wilkerson 
welcomed Tucker McFadden Wilkerson (son) on September 18th

Melissa (no pic of Tucker yet)


Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. 
welcomed a son in mid/late September...that's all the info I could find. 

SMG (no pic of baby boy yet)


Drew Barrymore and Will Kopelman 
welcomed Olive Barrymore Kopelman  (girl) on September 26th

Drew and Will (no pic of Olive yet)


Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth 
welcomed Tennessee James Toth (boy) on September 27th

Reese (no pic of Tennessee yet)


Two things I noticed right away - they're all baby boys with the exception of little Olive Kopelman and Sienna Jaric.  And who would have thought that two couples would choose the same name (Camden) and initials (CJ) for their sons.  Strange.  I wonder if Kristin and Vanessa are pissed about it, each having thought that they chose such a unique, modern name.  I also wonder if their joint choice will launch Camden into the top echelon of popular baby names?  Like Kourtney K. did with Mason.  Last thought, I love Reese and Jim's choice of Tennessee (though I wouldn't choose it myself).

More importantly, which names do you love and which do you hate?  Whose choice surprised you?  Are there this many celebrities having babies all the time or was January 2012 a particularly romantic month in Los Angeles?

I absolutely LOVE that Drew Barrymore picked the name Olive. It seems so classic and...not WEIRD. I think celebs seem to veer toward the weird names (uh, Apple comes to mind)and it is just nice to see a celebrity pick a classic name.

That being said, I too love that Reese picked Tennessee. I totally would not pick that as a baby name but it seems so fitting for her for some reason!

I tend to not really like names where you could say "_____ as in ____".

For example:
"My name is Olive....as in oil"
"My name is Tennessee....like the state"

I can't count the number of times that I have said the phrase:
"As in Houston....Not Spears"

Just my personal opinion, and I realize it is hard to avoid. Also, I must say thank you for reminding me that Freddi Prince Junior still exists!

I had no idea that Guiliana & Bill "had" their baby! I'm happy for them!
