Roger Federer Struggles With Baby Names

Josh loposer — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 17:30:00 GMT

For one of tennis' all-time greats, you wouldn't thing that coming up with a baby name would be the greatest challenge you've ever faced -- just name it Roger II. But for Federer and wife Mirka Vavrinec, coming up with a handle for their upcoming baby is proving as difficult as beating Rafael Nadal in a major tournament.

“You know, we’ll see,” he mused. “There’s quite a few books around that are that thick, so we’ll see where it takes us. But, no, we haven’t decided anything yet. I have no clue right now myself. Thank God we have time left to decide.”

It's funny how some people know exactly what they're going to name their kids years in advance and some people consult "thick" books and can't decide until the last possible second. Will Roger and Mirka be that kind of parents that call the baby "baby" for the first few months? Surely not.

After dating for almost 9 years, Roger and Mirka got married on April 11th -- shortly after learning that Mirka was pregnant. Their baby is due sometime this summer, giving them a little time to mull over the options.

No word yet as to whether it's a boy or girl. I imagine that would help narrow down the name search, maybe. Unless Roger and Mirka are bent on breaking down traditional gender roles, or something hippie-dippie like that.

Carnie Wilson Will Welcome Luciana in June

trix — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 13:33:00 GMT

Carnie Wilson is really the only one of girls from Wilson Phillips you ever really hear about. Is it because of her very public battle of the bulge or does she court the media with little bits of info here and there?

She's let us all in on the name she's picked for her daughter, who is due in June, it's Luciana.

June is such a great month to be born in, Luciana is pretty too, but summer babies are just so sweet. Did you have your baby's name picked out months in advance or did you have a few but decide on one at the last minute?

Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer Split; Who Gets the Baby?

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 22:35:00 GMT

Off-and-on-and-off again couple Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer have broken up. Again. Reports are that Mayer broke up with Aniston after she returned from Europe where she was promoting canine flick Marley & Me. I guess John didn't like her spending time with another dog.

As usual the PR machine is in full gear, with a source giving the split a neutral spin. "They had some disagreements and decided to not continue to see each other," says one source. "Jen is moving on with her life like she always does. She seems happy."

And of course she's happy - she's pregnant with the child she's always wanted. (Work with me here, people. I'm trying to keep the hope alive.) What no one is talking about is - who gets to keep the baby? Chances are Jen will get full custody of the child, move in with BFFs Courtney Cox and David Arquette and they will raise the baby (named Marley Ickitt Aniston for sure) together.

You heard it here first.

The Stefani-Rossdales are Special

Whit Honea — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 18:03:00 GMT

That's not news to anyone on this blog, right? Turns out that the Stefani-Rossdale clan is even specialer (I know) than we thought. Gwen, Gavin and Kingston took baby Zuma out in their new Marc Jacobs Bugaboo and...

Yes, I said the new MARC JACOBS BUGABOO. It's one of only 15 in the world. That means there are fourteen people roughly equal to the Stefani-Rossdale's level of specialness and a whole hell of a lot of us that aren't.

Still sounds pretty cool.

Baby Names For Jen And Ben's New Baby?

HerBadMother — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 17:53:00 GMT

Rose? Iris? Lily?

I'm guessing - okay, hoping - that it's going to be a floral name, to complement Violet. And floral names for girls are lovely. With the possible exceptions of, say, Nastertium, Ladyslipper and Bluebell, which are really only suitable baby names if the parents are fairies, which, I'm guessing, Jen and Ben are not.

So I'm going to guess that the newest Affleck girl is going to be a Rose or a Lily or an Iris. Maybe a Marigold, but that's a long shot.

Place your bets now: flower name or not? If so, which flower? If not... guesses?

Eric Mabius Welcomes Second Son

Karl Erikson — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 21:05:00 GMT

"Ugly Betty" star Eric Mabius and his wife Ivy Sherman welcomed their second son, Rylan Jaxson Mabius, some time in the last week. We don't know any other details, but Eric's rep has confirmed the birth.

Rylan was definitely born after the 2nd, because on the 2nd Eric told Us Weekly, "My wife is due any minute, so we won't have time to travel but we'll go home to Amherst, Mass., for the holidays. She is very, very pregnant! She looks beautiful!"

Eric and Ivy also have another son, Maxfield Elliot, 2-1/2. Other Ugly Betty babies are coming soon. Rebecca Romijn is expecting twin girls in January, and Christopher Gorham is expecting his third child, too.

Congratulations, Eric and Ivy.

Jonny Lee Miller's Buster!

Jonny Lee Miller, star of the very good and somehow canceled "Eli Stone," and his wife Michele Hicks have welcomed a new baby boy. His name is Buster.

Yes, Buster. Sure, it's no Bronx or Zuma, but it could still warrant a scuffle or two.

Congrats to the new family!

Helena and Nell Stroll In Malibu

trix — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 13:28:00 GMT

Helena Bonham Carter and her daughter Nell hit the streets in Malibu.

They look pretty all dressed in white, don't they? It's so much prettier than Helena's normal outfits of choice.

It looks like Helena Bonham Carter has her hands full with her little Nell. Nell is now 11 months old and by the looks of her, is very confident. I mean, doesn't she look like she's looking at the photographer and asking, Are you looking at me?

Eric Mabius and Wife Ivy's Baby Bump

It's almost Baby Time for "Ugly Betty" star Eric Mabius and his wife, Ivy Sherman. Their second son is due any day now. The two already have son Maxfield Elliot, 2. Here they are on one of their last nights out - for a while, anyway.

Eric says that Ivy wants to give the new baby a French name, but he's not quite sure about that. He does like Raphael, though. Long live Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

Helena Bonham Carter and Nell Burton Visits Wonderland

Karl Erikson — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 14:04:00 GMT

We just reported that Johnny Depp is cast as the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton's version of "Alice in Wonderland." The movie is already filming in the U.K. and is due to be released in March of 2010. Here we see Helena Bonham Carter - who is in virtually every Tim Burton flick...nepotism at work - and daughter Nell, 9 months. They're on the set of "Alice." Can't wait to see who else is lined up for the cast. Burton is just a brilliant filmmaker.

Ugly Betty's Eric Mabius Is Naming His Next Son Vladimir

Karl Erikson — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 13:40:00 GMT

OK, maybe not, but hey, I thought I'd throw that in the mix. I'm convinced Vladimir is going to make a HUGE comeback in the baby names department. Eric Mabius of "Ugly Betty" and his wife Ivy are expecting another son this winter and names are up for grabs.

"My wife wants a French name, but I don’t know. I’ll have to enroll him in karate right away if I give him a French name," Mabius tells People. "I was thinking Raphael with the p-h spelling. It’s a cool name. I guess he’ll be a painter or a sculptor or something."

Mabius, 37, brings his first son, Max (2), to the "Ugly Betty" set quite a lot. Apparently, little Max is a big hit with the entire crew. And now that costar Rebecca Romijn is preggers with twins, it'll be a big playground within the next few months.

Dude, Vladimir. I'm TELLING you. You can call him the "V Man" or if you really want to scare the bullies away, call him "Vlad the Impaler." Dracula never got his ass kicked at recess.

Rebecca Romijn Craving Some Really Weird Crap

Helena Bonham Carter Looks Like A Bag Lady But Her Kids Are Cute!

Sassy Smith — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 16:33:00 GMT

Helena Bonham Carter is a bit eccentric to say the least. Her choice in attire is, uh, different. Hey, but that's what makes the world go 'round right? Right. Helena and her husband, director Tim Burton and their tots were spotted out in London on Monday, near their home.

More pics after the jump!

Their children Billy Ray, 4 1/2, and baby Nell, 8 months, are so cute (despite their faces being blurred).

Rebecca Romijn Craving Some Really Weird Crap

Karl Erikson — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 16:01:00 GMT

I've heard of pregnant women craving some pretty weird stuff. I even experienced it a bit when my ex-wife was pregnant with my twin daughters. But wow, pregnancy is seriously messing with Rebecca Romijn's tastebuds!

Romijn, 35 and star of "Ugly Betty," is asking craft services on the set for some really weird shit, according to a show insider. She's mixing goat cheese with ice cream, dips salt and vinegar potato chips (crisps for our Brit readers) into caramel sauce, and puts Frosted Flakes on her cheese pizza.

OK, that's pretty sick. But I'll tell you what, if I had a woman like that waiting for me at home every day, she could ask for a pint of my blood for dinner and I'd give it to her.

Guess Which Celebrity Rebecca Romijn is Naming One of Her Twins After?

Karl Erikson — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 19:02:00 GMT

Rebecca Romijn, 35-year-old star of "Ugly Betty," is pregnant with twins. She and Jerry O'Connell have decided to name one of the twins after a big celebrity. Guess who?

She's naming one of the twins Dolly! That's right, it's a tribute to totally-not-dead music superstar Dolly Parton!

"I have been a Dolly fan all of my life. She is a wonderful woman. I really connect with her music and I can't think of a better role model for my children," says Romijn. She talked to Dolly herself and got her blessing. Dolly is touched.

Jerry O'Connell is beaming at the prospect of fatherhood, too. "Having children is something we really worked hard at, and it's just happened."

Hell, if I was sleeping with Rebecca Romijn, I'd work really hard at it, too! I wouldn't even have time to write this story, in fact.

HerBadMother — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 00:04:00 GMT

I really tried to keep my mouth shut about this, because I hate to criticize kids' names, but seriously? ZUMA?

Sure, "Zuma" is the name of a beach in a Malibu. That's lovely. But it's also a computer game. And the diminutive form of a term for a bad gastro-intestinal condition. And, for anyone who remembers the nineties, it was a much-mocked malt beverage.

No, wait: that was Zima. Still. Did I mention that it was the diminutive slang for Montezuma's Revenge? And a computer game? PLZ.

(Anyone remember the TV show Zoom? The theme song for that show? Stuck in my head RIGHT NOW.)

Kid will have to just go with Rock Rossdale and get teased for having a name that sounds like it belong to the lead singer of an 80's hair band. Which, all things considered, is probably not the worst thing. If your parents are Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale.

Helena Bonham Carter's Relatives Die In Bus Crash

Sassy Smith — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 13:57:00 GMT

Actress Helena Bonham Carter has reportedly lost four of her British relatives in a minibus crash in South Africa, and at least one of the victims was a child.

A rep for the Foreign Office said the victims were on a safari holiday and the vehicle lost control and overturned. Three of the deceased have been named as 14-year-old Marcus Egerton-Warburton, his grandmother Brenda Bonham Carter, 74, and Francis Kirkwood, 75, the boy's step-grandfather. At least two other family members are believed to have been injured in the accident.

A Foreign Office rep said, "We can confirm the deaths of four British nationals in a road traffic accident on August 20. We are still seeking clarification about the accident fromt the South African authorities."

The young teen's mom, Fiona Bonham Carter is thought to have sustained a broken collar bone and his brother, Piers suffered whiplash. The injured have been taken to Johannesburg for medical treatment.

A Facebook memorial has been set up for Marcus, with one friend writing, "Can't put into words how much I will miss you. You are an amazing person you will never be forgotten. R.I.P. marci xxx."

Our condolences to the family.

Helena Bonham Confirms Her Baby's Name-Finally

trix — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 15:46:00 GMT

Last month we helped squash rumors that the Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton named their baby Indiana Rose, “apparently on the internet she’s called Indiana Rose! [laughs] I don’t know where it’s come from but it can be that till she’s been named properly [laughs]."

The Burton Carter duo confirmed to a The Jewish Journal that their baby's name is Nell, after, "all the Helens in the family".

“I feel quite atavistic in the sense that I want them to know where they come from”. I'm not sure she used that word correctly.

I'm sure she will be as beautiful as this Nell.

They named their son Cortland Steele Fletcher. Great name.

"Well, we didn't want to name him London," said Fletcher. "We wanted to give him his own identity. We thought those two names were different. We thought it was a very strong and powerful name."

Seven Months Later - Helena Bonham Carter FINALLY Names Her Baby?

Sassy Smith — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 13:41:00 GMT

Listen, naming your baby is a big decision - it's obviously something that is with them for life (unless it sucks and they change it when they turn 18), and you want to get it right. Perhaps that's why Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton have waited so long to name their 7-month-old daughter?

Technically we're still not 100% they have even named her yet. Seriously. According to IMDB, they've called her Nell. And some UK publications are stating that the infant's name is Allegra Sophie, but Wikipedia states that the baby girl is unnamed or unreleased. Hmm.

Reportedly, in the UK, it's law for parents to name their child by the age of 6 weeks, so the celebrity odd couple would definitely be past that time limit. However, there's no concrete proof that they've named their child. For realz, how could you go MONTHS and not name your baby? What do you call them? It? Hey You? So and So? I've heard of parents needing a few days to come up with just the perfect name but over half a year? Slightly ridiculous if you ask me!

And no, baby's name isn't Indiana Rose - that was rumor and Helena addressed that and said, "Apparently on the internet she’s called Indiana Rose! I don’t know where it’s come from but it can be that till she’s been named properly!"

Hey, maybe they HAVE named her and it's been a closely guarded secret!?

Chris Martin On Baby Names, Oatmeal And Oral Sex

HerBadMother — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 18:23:00 GMT

Wow. Dude sounds like a really good time.

Mr. Gwyneth Paltrow told Blender Magazine that "people make a big fuss over names. Names of babies, names of albums, names of bands. There’s nothing weird about calling your baby Chewbacca if that’s what you want to call your baby. It’s no stranger than Sarah (ed. note - or Sunday Rose?). A name is just a noise (ed. note: cue Chewbacca roar), and if you like it, then f--k what everyone else says." Thus spake Chris Martin. ELL-O-ELL.

He also told Blender Magazine that he has a secret talent for making oatmeal and for oral sex. So there you go: Chris Martin is a mega-geek Star Wars fan who is maybe not the most creative cook but sure knows how to pleasure a woman.

Lucky Gwyneth (*rolls eyes*)
