Some months, celebrities seem to be giving birth like bunny rabbits, and other months, well, it just seems kinda quiet. April has been one of those months. Only three new celebrity baby names to report from the last few weeks.
Amanda Peet went into labor right before her scheduled Letterman appearance last week, and gave birth to daughter Molly June shortly thereafter.

This morning, rocker Mark McGrath, of the band Sugar Ray, and his fiance Carin Kingsland, welcomed twins: Lydon Edward and Hartley Grace. Interesting first names for both the twins. Lydon was the real surname of Sex Pistols icon Johnny Rotten. And Hartley is usually seen as a surname also. No doubt the backstory will surface one of these days.

And for those of you waiting with bated breath for the A-list celebrity babies (and their correspondingly unusual baby names) there are a few on the horizon.

Expectant celebs include Amy Adams, Tiffani Thiessen, Claudia Schiffer (on left), Luke Bryan, Amy Poehler (again, already!), Matt Damon, and, last, but far from least, the couple we can always count on for the coolest, most original celebrity baby names — Jools and Jamie Oliver! (Jamie: everyone in my house loves your show — keep up the great work trying to teach children good nutrition, and to stop eating so much crap).

“Isabella”

 

Not every celebrity baby name is strange, unusual, or crazy. Here’s one that proves the point: Matt Damon’s and Luciana Barroso’s daughter, born in June of 2006, named Isabella. The name Isabella is not only a traditional, and beautiful name. It is one of the hottest names of the year, ranking at # 6 in the United States in 2005. I’m picking it to displace the # 1 girl’s name, Emily, within two years. Isabella came out of nowhere in 1990, when it broke into the top thousand names in the US. In the intervening decade and a half it has shot up the rankings like a rocket. Now with Matt Damon’s “endorsement,” look for this name to reach number one.

Matt Damon and his wife Luciana Barroso welcomed their new daughter into the world on June 11, and named her Isabella. There’s not a great deal I can say about the name Isabella. For a celebrity naming, it’s pretty tame. Maybe I was on to something when I mentioned that Mira Sorvino was starting a “plain name” trend in Hollywood when she named her son Johnny. Or as Freud said, sometimes a name is just a name.
