It will undoubtedly be the top celebrity baby name of the year, assuming it turns out to be true.

A New Zealand website is reporting tonight that Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale welcomed their second son in the last 24 hours, and he is named Zuma Nesta Rock.

Rumors are already spreading on the internet as to the source of this unusual name. Zuma may refer to Zuma Beach in California; Nesta was reggae legend Bob Marley’s middle name; and “rock” — well, you get the picture. This is Gwen Stefani’s baby, after all.

Too early yet to see if this sticks — it wouldn’t be the first time that the early rumor on a celebrity baby name was way off the mark. But this name is just so out there — hard to believe somebody cculd have made it up if it wasn’t true!

I’ve just returned from a little vacation, but in the interim there really haven’t been many major celeb births. The biggest was the arrival of Ethan Hawke’s third child — his first with new wife Ryan Shawhughes, who used to be the nanny for Hawke’s children with Uma Thurman. Anyway — the new Hawke baby is a girl, named Clementine Jane. Very Victorian.

Meanwhile, actress Marissa Jaret Winokur, 35, and her husband Judah Miller welcomed their first child, Zev Isaac.

Desperate Housewives star Kyle MacLachlan, 49, became a first-time father, with the arrival of Callum Lyon for MacLachlan and his wife Desiree Gruber, 41.

Actress Mary Lynn Rajskub, 37, welcomed her first child, Valentine Anthony, with boyfriend Matthew Rolph, 28.

And finally, the Dixie Chicks singer Martie Maguire, 38, and her husband, actor Gareth Maguire, 33, increased their brood to three with the arrival of daughter Harper Rosie. A great southern name they picked!
