Celebrity Babies

All babies are beautiful. All celebrity baby names, however? Let's just say some are better than others. Below, we rank our favorite weird ones of recent years.

NOTE: We are defining weird as in unusual, not in a negative sense. If you don't know anyone else with said name, it qualifies as unusual, even if you love it.

The birth of Beyonce's baby Blue got us thinking: Where does that little one rank? Without further ado, give it up for the (possibly stoned) parents of ...

10. Pilot Inspektor. Overcompensating for your own boring name, Jason Lee?

9. Kal-El. The son of Nic Cage. Yes, Kal dash El.

8. Track and Trig. Todd and Sarah Palin's daughters, Piper, Willow and Bristol Palin, have downright normal names compared to their brothers.

7. Blue Ivy Carter. This one's kinda cool, but still out there.

6. Sparrow. We liked this name for Nicole Richie and Joel Madden's second child more when we thought Sparrow was a girl. He is not a girl.

5. Jermajesty. Jermaine Jackson's son. Yes, Jer-effing-majesty. MJ is exempt, barely, since Blanket is merely a nickname ... for Prince Michael II.

4. Spec and Hud. The latter of John Cougar Mellencamp and Elaine Irwin's sons may be sponsored by the Dept of Housing and Urban Development.

3. Bronx Mowgli. Borough of New York City + Jungle Book character = perfect baby name ... at least if you're Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz.

2. Suri. The apple of Tom and Katie's eye. Speaking of ...

1. Apple. Gwyneth and Chris take the cake on this one.

What's your favorite weird celebrity baby name?

Molly Sims is going to be mommy Sims.

The 38-year-old model, jewelry designer and actress is expecting her first child with her new husband Scott Stuber, her rep confirmed this afternoon.

"There are simply no words to describe the feeling," Sims wrote. "I finally get what they mean when they say pregnant women glow."

Sims explained that a "first pregnancy is a nerve-wracking experience of course, but mostly we are just thrilled and excited. We can't wait to meet him or her."

Sims also shared how she broke the news to Scott Stuber, 42.

"I hijacked a fortune cookie and typed a new message so that when he opened his cookie at the end of the meal, he found out he was going to be a daddy."

"You can only imagine how nervous I was during the entire meal - I think I ate a total of two bites - but the look of surprise and joy on his face was priceless."

Stuber, who produced Love and Other Drugs, popped the question in May 2011. The couple married in September. Congratulations on the impending arrival!

In a statement released just a few hours ago, Beyonce and Jay-Z officially confirmed that she gave birth to baby girl, Blue Ivy Carter, on Saturday.

The couple writes, jointly:

“Hello Hello Baby Blue! We are happy to announce the arrival of our beautiful daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, born on Saturday, January 7, 2012.”

Jay and Bey say Saturday was the best day ever for them.

“Her birth was emotional and extremely peaceful, we are in heaven. She was delivered naturally at a healthy 7 lbs and it was the best experience of both of our lives."

"We are thankful to everyone for all your prayers, well wishes, love and support.”

Jay-Z released “Glory” - a new song he wrote as a tribute to baby Blue, and which even features her at the end - online earlier today. It's a cool song, and so sweet.

Congratulations again to the happy couple!

Gwyneth Paltrow saves the day.

Just one day after Beyonce gave birth, her famous BFF has clarified a major detail online, revealing the correct name of Bey's beautiful newborn daughter.

Some sources reported the name one way, while others flipped the little one's first and middle names. But thanks to Gwyneth's Tweet, we know ...

It's Blue Ivy Carter, not Ivy Blue Carter!

It's all semantics really. We liked the name Ivy Blue, but Blue Ivy also has a cool, different ring to it. More importantly, she has two very loving, protective parents.

Not to mention, she's already one of the most famous celebrity babies of all time. We can't wait until the photos are released in the tabloids ... which won't happen.

Ever.

This is a couple that waited years to confirm they were even married. Wait, that didn't even take place. Public records proved it, not the couple. You get the idea!

Congrats again to Jay, Bey and baby Blue!

Beyonce gave birth to a beautiful baby girl yesterday.

Seriously, it happened. This isn't just a Twitter rumor.

Ivy Blue Carter was born in New York City via c-section.

Aww. Beyonce famously announced her pregnancy on stage at MTV's Video Music Awards back in August, and since then, fan anticipation for the baby has grown by the day.

Proud dad Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, was at the hospital where Beyonce gave birth to Ivy. Shortly thereafter, congratulations came pouring in.

Rihanna wrote, "Welcome to the world princess Carter! Love Aunty Rih." Russell Simmons Tweeted simply, "Congrats to my good friends Beyonce and Jay-Z."

SO much so that Twitter even tried to name the baby girl Tiana May Carter last month. We think they picked out a nicer name themselves in Ivy Blue. Agree?

NOTE: Conflicting reports, including from MSNBC and E!, say the name is actually Blue Ivy Carter. The couple's going to have to clear this up at some point!

Either way, congratulations to the happy family!!

Sienna Miller is expecting her first child.

The actress, whose on-and-off relationship with Jude Law has made for some major tabloid fodder over the years, has reportedly been knocked up by Tom Sturridge, her boyfriend since early 2010.

Despite the news, a source tells Us Weekly the couple doesn't "have plans right away to marry, if at all."

The insider adds that Miller's "friends are really happy with her relationship with Tom" because he's "mature and he's a good guy," a not-so-veiled diss of Law, who famously cheated on Sienna in 2006 with his children's nanny.

Miller and Sturridge announced the pregnancy to family members and pals in London over the holidays and then took a vacation in Paris, this mole says, concluding simply: "They're really good together."

Keri Russell's Christmas present arrived a little late:

A baby girl born December 27!

The Felicity actress, 35, gave birth to daughter Willa Lou Deary. It's the second child for Russell and husband Shane Deary, parents to son River Russell Deary, 4.

The beautiful actress met Deary, a carpenter, through a mutual friend, and they wed on Valentine's Day 2007. The growing family lives in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Summing up the event, "I just feel like child birth is one of the most powerful things that happens to a woman," Russell told the New York Observer.

The actress next stars in the romantic comedy Austenland, out this year.

Congratulations to the whole family!

The rumors we reported last month turned out to be true. Teen Mom 2's Leah Messer is in fact engaged to Jeremy Calvert. What we didn't know until now was:

She's also pregnant again!

"Leah just got engaged over the holidays and is pregnant with another child," a source says of the 19-year-old, who has twin daughters. "She is so excited!"

So are we ... gulp.

Messer was married to Corey Simms (the father of 2-year-old twins Aliannah and Aleeah) for just six months last year before filing for divorce in April.

The MTV reality star last month that she and Jeremy Calvert, who she began dating shortly after her split from Simms, "do talk about getting engaged."

"We have a really good connection," Leah Messer gushed.

"It's different from Corey and my relationship, because we were kinda like forcing it... With Jeremy, you know when you're supposed to be with somebody."

The couple spent December 23 with the twins and had a Christmas Eve-Eve celebration at Leah's mom's house, followed by an early Christmas morning.

Congratulations, and fingers crossed for the couple ...

Wow. The tabloids are starting off 2012 with a bang.

Taking the art of fabricating scandals about Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston to new heights, Star claims Ange temporarily left Brad after finding out that he made a baby with Jen ... which she miscarried ... in 2004 ... while married to Brad.

Seriously, they printed this. A "reliable source" said:

"She assumed all along she was the only woman Brad had ever impregnated. Now Angie is questioning everything, including whether she can ever trust Brad again."

That has her thinking of leaving him for good, supposedly. Maybe.

"Brad doesn’t tell Angie everything, especially when it comes to Jen," adds the source. "The mention of Jen makes Angie completely irrational." (That part we buy.)

"But he never imagined this would infuriate Angie to the extent that it has. Now it could spell the end of them forever." Brutal, there's no other way to describe it.

It gets better, incredibly. The National Enquirer says, simultaneously, that in related news ... Angelina Jolie is pregnant right now! In a startling development ...

Rebecca Gayheart and Grey's Anatomy star Eric Dane have welcomed their second child together, another girl they've named Georgia Geraldine!

Gayheart, 40, and Dane, 39, have been married since 2004, and are already parents to daughter Billie Beatrice, who was born in March 2010.

"Rebecca Gayheart and husband Eric Dane welcomed Georgia Geraldine Dane on Dec. 28, just in time for the New Year!" the pair's rep says.

"Both mom and baby girl are happy and healthy, Billie is thrilled to be a big sister, and dad is getting ready to live in a house full of ladies!"

In August, an expectant Rebecca Gayheart shared with People some details about going through what was a more relaxed second pregnancy.

"What’s made it different is that I’m very focused on Billie … so I’m not very focused on [the pregnancy]. I'm not as neurotic," the actress said.

She also confessed to readying herself for the obstacles that awaited the couple as they prepared to parent two kids under the age of 2:

"I've heard that's very challenging. But I think I'm up for it. Eventually it's going to be great because they'll be very close in age, and to each other, hopefully."

Congratulations to the happy, growing family!
