Yahoo! has just released its list of the Top Searches of 2006, and Suri Cruise, the daughter of Tom Crusie and Katie Holmes, born April 18, 2006, edged out Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, born May 27, as the most popular celebrity baby name that was searched for on Yahoo! during the past year.

Sean Preston Federline, eldest son of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline came in at number 3, while his newborn little brother, Jayden James (formerly, and falsely, known as Sutton Pierce) came in right behind at number 4. Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale’s son Kingston James rounded out the top five.

In the bottom half of the table, Madonna’s adopted African baby, David Banda, was the sixth most popular search term. Gwyneth Paltrow’s and Chris Martin’s baby Moses was number seven, and Brooke Shield’s son Grier was number eight.

Coming in at a disappointing number nine was Donald and Melania Trump’s young royal, Barron William Trump, while Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter, Dannielynn Hope, joined the high flying celebrity babies at number ten.

Donald ain’t gonna be happy with that. I can see him buying his own search engine and paying some people to click on it endlessly in order to win in 2007. I’m not sure, but MSN’s Windows Live Search should be up for sale pretty soon.

It’s August 22, and time for my first annual Round-Up of the ten funniest celebrity baby names of 2006 (so far). You’ll notice I use the term “funniest.” Not the “dumbest,” and certainly not the “stupidest” — and there’s a reason for this. Besides my dedication to celebrity baby name watching, this blog is dedicated to being a “vitriol-free” site. Rather than stooping to the cheap shots of four-letter words and gratuitous sexual references beloved of so many bloggers, I actually try to “write” my blog posts using the English language in its original form. Let’s face it, anyone can poke fun at celebrities by going for the shock value of a curse, or a reference to someone’s body parts. It’s a bit more of a challenge (but also more satisfying) to keep your readers entertained by your sheer wit. Still there? OK, back to my original discussion — the ten funniest baby names of 2006 (so far).

Starting at number 10, the funniest celebrity baby names are:

10. True Harlow, the daughter of actress Joely Fisher and cinematographer Christopher Duddy.

9. Moses, the son of actress Gwyneth Paltrow and singer Chris Martin.

8. Zander Ryan, son of singer Mindy McCready and her husband Billy McKnight.

7. Suri, alleged daughter of actor Tom Cruise and actress Katie Holmes.

6. Grier Hammond, daughter of actress Brooke Shields and producer Chris Henchy.

5. Ace Shane, son of softball player Jennie Finch and baseball player Casey Daigle.

4. Bluebell Madonna, daughter of former Spice Girls singer Geri Halliwell.

The drum roll please…

Coming in at # 3: the most talked-about baby of the last 2,000 years, Shiloh Nouvel, daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

Coming in at #2: streaking past the funny names of those babies born earlier in 2006, the very newborn Jonas Rocket, son of musician Tom DeLonge and wife Jennifer DeLonge.

And without question, the # 1 funniest celebrity baby name of 2006 (so far), is the son, and second child of comedian (?) Penn Jillette and his wife Emily: Zolten Jillette. In case you didn’t know, Zolten, among other things, was supposedly the name of Dracula’s dog. Little Zolten joins sister Moxie Crimefighter in the Jillette household. Moxie, I might add, is currently the odds-on favorite to take # 1 in the silliest celebrity baby name of the decade competition (2000-2010).

If you can’t get enough of funny celebrity baby names (and who can) check out this celebrity baby name database. It currently has more than 1,000 baby names listed. If you can’t find one you’re looking for, you can email them and they’ll find it for you and add it to their database.

Tuesday, April 18, 2006 was a big day for Hollywood star babies — as Brooke Shields and Katie Holmes both gave birth to baby girls on the same day. Actress Brooke Shields, and producer Chris Henchy, are the proud parents of little Grier Hammond Henchy.

Grier? Apparently, a name of Scottish derivation, meaning “watchful” or “vigilant.” Hammond? It’s an English name, thought to mean “of the village” or “from the village.” Let’s put that together if we can, and see what Brooke and Chris were aiming for: “watchful of the village.”  Hmm. I guess it means something to Brooke and Chris, but I don’t quite see it. Still, Grier does have a lot of rhyming possibilities, which is always fun…

 At least it doesn’t mean “away with you” in ancient Celtic, or something equally disastrous.
