Why didn't anyone tell me EVERYONE would have an opinion!
Yesterday, I had my 20 weeks ultrasound. It's the one where we can choose to know the sex of the baby.

While a rose by any other name would still smell as sweet, would an Apple, a Moses or a Shiloh?
And is there some gene or DNA mutation once your face lives on celluloid that says your child can't be a Jennifer or a Michael?
But perhaps if your kid's name will pepper the pages of People for as long as there is a Brangelina or a TomKat or the next such celeb couple combo, then it better be a catchy appellation
Celebrities have been bestowing unusual names on their offspring as far back as the 1967 birth of Frank Zappa's daughter Moon Unit Zappa.

We have been trying to pick out a name for our baby, but it's so difficult because we are so conflicted. We are having a baby girl, and never discussed what we'd name a girl if we had one. I was always convinced I'd have a boy.

Now that OK! Magazine has the exclusive first story that Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves have named their first child Levi, I think there’s little doubt that we can look forward to seeing the baby’s debut in the pages of OK!.

BEIJING (Reuters) - A Chinese couple tried to name their baby "@," claiming the character used in e-mail addresses echoed their love for the child, an official trying to whip the national language into line said Thursday.
The unusual name stands out especially in Chinese, which has no alphabet and instead uses tens of thousands of multi-stroke characters to represent words.

I ran into a friend this weekend, who's about 7 months pregnant. I asked her how everything was going, and she said "fine", but then I found out that a friend of hers just gave birth, and named her son the name her and her husband picked out for the name of their baby.
They kept the name top secret - nobody knew the name, including her friend, but she was still very disapointed.

As far as celebrity baby names go, Nahla Ariela is not bad. It does have a Disney ring to it, probably due to the Little Mermaid-sounding middle name. I’ve never heard the name Nahla before and it sounds kind of neutral to me for a little girl’s name, but maybe I just need to get used to it.
