Celebrity Baby Names: Latest starbaby predictions!
By Sophie Kihm
This month of celebrity pregnancy announcements was quite eclectic. We have some celebs who go all out with their baby name choices–yes Geri Halliwell, I’m talking about you. Others lead more private lives, and choose less outrageous names to match. Great names can come out of each (Christopher Carlton Cumberbatch is certainly an A+ name). Although I have to admit, it’s a lot of fun trying to predict the name of Bluebell Madonna‘s future sibling.
Gender: boy
Siblings: Coco (previous marriage), Charlie West
It’s going to be another boy for David Arquette and his wife Christina. They chose the friendly, likeable name Charlie West for their first son, so I expect something along the same lines for his brother, if not a matching C name.
Boy: Alex, August, Eli, Henry, Jack, Liam, Milo, Oliver, Owen, Parker, Theo
*Update* Very close—Augustus Alexis!
Geri Halliwell and Christian Horner
Gender: unknown
Siblings: Bluebell Madonna (previous marriage)
Bluebell Madonna frequents the lists of Craziest Celebrity Baby Names. Will Geri Halliwell choose another wild name for baby number two? I hope so!
Girl: Blossom, Juniper, Moxie, Poppy, Romy, Tigerlily, Trixie, Velvet
Boy: Caspian, Huckleberry, Loyal, Peregrine, Phoenix, River, Valentine, Zeppelin
*Update* Bluebell’s brother is Montague George Hector!
Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott
Gender: unknown
Siblings: Jack (previous marriage), Liam, Stella, Hattie, Finn
The McDermotts are often considered to have one of the best sibsets in Hollywood. Stylistically, the names work really well together, and they’re all perfectly on trend. Whatever they choose for baby number five, I know it’s going to be great.
Girl: Dolly, Elsie, Evie, Georgia, Ivy, Lucy, Minnie, Nellie, Ruthie, Tilly, Violet
Boy: Dashiell, Everett, Felix, Gus, Jude, Milo, Otto, Rudy, Toby, Wyatt
*Update* It’s a boy! Beau Dean McDermott
Gender: girl
Ava Jaymes is a sweet and sassy name that’s full of spunk. I expect the McLeans to use a similar formula to name their second daughter as they did with Ava–a well-liked first name with a spunky middle.
Girl: Chloe, Grace, Hazel, Leah, Lila, Kira, Maddie, Mia, Olivia, Ruby, Sofia
*Update* Welcome, Lyric Dean!
Lea Seydoux
Gender: unknown
Siblings: none
Lea Seydoux is having her first child, and I can’t wait to hear what she names him or her. Lea is a French actress, so I have a feeling she’ll choose a name that shares her European roots.
Girl: Amelie, Beatrice, Camille, Elinor, Emmeline, Madeleine, Silvie, Veronique
Boy: Adrien, Auguste, Charles, Henri, Julien, Luc, Quincy, Remy, Romain
*Update* A baby boy—George!
Sophie Hunter and Benedict Cumberbatch
Gender: unknown
Siblings: Christopher Carlton
Christopher Carlton is the appropriately British, classic name Sophie Hunter and Benedict Cumberbatch chose for their first child. I suspect his sibling will get an equally sophisticated and stylish name–maybe one of the ones below.
Girl: Abigail, Amelia, Charlotte, Elizabeth, Emma, Olivia, Philippa, Samantha, Victoria
Boy: Andrew, Jonathan, Matthew, Nicholas, Samuel, Sebastian, Timothy, William, Zachary
*Update* Another boy—Hal Auden!
Gender: girl
Siblings: none
It’s going to be a girl for Amber Tamblyn and David Cross! They could go in any direction with their first daughter’s name, but I’m guessing we’ll see something sweet, cute, and upbeat from this comedic couple.
Girl: Elsie, Frankie, Georgia, Gracie, Lola, Lulu, Phoebe, Poppy, Ruby, Stella, Susanna
*Update* Hello, Marlowe Alice!
Gender: unknown
Siblings: Future Zahir (previous relationship)
Ciara‘s oldest son Future is named after his father. I wonder if this means a possible son will be called Russell, like his dad. For a daughter, I doubt Ciara is on the list, but maybe a fun musical or word name to match the boldness of Future.
Girl: Aurora, Bliss, Cadence, Eden, Emerald, Love, Sable, Sienna, Story, Xara
Boy: Ace, Austin, Carlton, Cassius, Chance, Justice, Maverick, Reign, Russell
*Update* I was right—baby girl is Sienna Princess!
