Tori Spelling Goes Retro With Baby Name
Star Magazine seems to be the first one to report that Tori Spelling gave birth to a baby girl on June 9.
Spelling, 35, and husband Dean McDermott, 41, have gone totally retro with the baby name: Stella Doreen. How can you hear the name Stella without hearing Brando screaming “Stella!” in A Streetcar Named Desire?
The name Doreen is so retro it hasn’t been in the list of Top 1000 Most Popular Baby Names since 1979.
Seriously, I don’t think Doreen is going to make a comeback. On the other hand, Stella has been increasingly popular in the last decade, and it wouldn’t surprise me to see it get a boost from the Spelling spillover effect.

“Stella Spelling” is a bit of a tongue twister, but I quite like “Doreen McDermott”. Anyway, up to the girl in the end (which is certainly a good thing).
I believe the baby’s last name is McDermott, so no Stella Spelling. Also, I heard Doreen is Dean’s mother’s name.
I think the name Stella is fantastic. I can see Stella going mainstream. It’s like the celebrity-endorsed Lola, but with more style and substance.
Doreen is the name of McDermott’s late mother. And Tori’s first child has the middle name Aaron — after HER late father. I think these are both wonderful tributes to absentee grandparents.
Stella looks exactly like her Daddy, Dean. Gorgeous!
Tori and Dean! You stole our baby name! Stella Doreen is the name of our mothers!
