It’s nearly time again folks. Our second annual “Ten Most Notable Celebrity Baby Names” list will be out in early January, bringing you the most outstanding celebrity baby names of 2007.

Last year’s crop was a particularly impressive field, with the likes of Shiloh Nouvel, Suri, and Jayden James leading the pack.

But those celebrity baby names are yesterday’s news — it’s time to make way for the best of 2007!

Which names will make the cut? Let’s cast our mind back over the past 12 months, and see what the celebs named their offspring this year.

In January, Johnny Damon’s daughter was named Devon Rose, keeping up that longstanding tradition of choosing Rose only for a middle name.

Also in January, and surely a contender for the # 1 celebrity baby name of 2007, Brooke Burke and David Charvet named their daugher Heaven Rain.

Actress Amy Locane named her daughter Paige Cricket before January was done, and February opened with the Patrick Dempsey duo of Darby Galen and Sullivan Patrick. As winter drew to a close, Marcia Cross delivered Eden and Savannah, and Brad Paisley and Kimberly Williams-Paisley bestowed the name William Huckleberry on their son.

Spring brought us Liam Aaron from — who else — Tori Spelling. It also brought Alimayu Moa-T for Wesley Snipes, and Grace and Ava for Mia Hamm. Then on Eddie Murphy’s birthday, April 4, Melanie Brown of the Spice Girls gave him a little present named Angel Iris.

Kevin Costner welcomed his new son Cayden Wyatt in early May, and Jaime Pressly gave birth to Dezi James Calvo a week later.

Victoria Smurfit named her daughter Ridley Belle at the end of the month, and Ashleigh Banfield quickly snagged the name Ridley also — for her son.

Mary Cheney went the Biblical route, and named her new son Samuel David, proving that even celebrities can choose traditional baby names once in a while. But model Katie Price got us back on track by calling her daughter Princess Tiaamii.

As summer wore on, Jenna Elfman came up with Story for her son, while Sarah Gilbert named her daughter Sawyer. In August, another Rose showed up — this time in the form of Lael Rose, the daughter of Grant Hill and Tamia Hill.

Fall brought a spate of “J” names, with Josselyn Sydney for Samantha Harris; Jake for Tina Yothers; Jesse, for Jamie Sale and David Pelletier, and and June Catherine for Balthazar Getty.

And just in the last month or so, Milla Jovovich named her daughter Ever Gabo, Jill Hennessy went with Gianni, and Drea de Matteo and Shooter Jennings set the bar high by naming their daughter Alabama Gypsy Rose (again with the Rose — somebody please use Rose as a first name, just once).

It has been another banner year for celebrity baby names, and hopefully, we’re not done yet. Our 2nd annual Ten Most Notable Celebrity Baby Names comes out in early January, and it’s going to be a tough task, once again, choosing just ten names from an outstanding field. But we’ll give it our very best, as always.
