Celebrity Babies on the Way

It seems tis' the season for celebrity babies. Just in the past week or so we have seen an innumerable amount of Celebabies enter the world.

• Ellen Pompero welcomed a baby girl with a name out of this world (excuse the pun) -Stella Luna


• Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prince Jnr. dubbed their baby girl Charlotte Grace


• Ms Heigl-Kelley adopted Naleigh, and we will just have to thank god she is really Nancy Leigh. Though does any one else wish she was a Nancy Lee instead?


• Jude Law's illegitimate baby girl was christened the incredibly popular Sophia


• Juanes and wife Karen welcomed Dante


• and Amanda Beard named her baby boy Blaise Ray.


• Oh and lets not forget the outrageous Sparrow James Midnight! A perfect fit with Harlow Winter Kate in my opinion. But I seem to be one of the few that dislike her (meaningless and entirely ridiculous) name.

Celebabies due in the upcoming months are sure not to disappoint in the name department.

• Hiedi Klum and Seal are expecting a baby girl to join siblings Leni, Henry and Johan. I'm so looking forward to this one. I'm expecting something short, sweet, and familiar but uncommon.


• Kedra Wilkinson and Hank Basset are expecting a their first, a baby boy. I have a feeling she might be having Hank the Tripp. But who knows? I could be wrong.


• Marcy Rylan, from her show Guiding Light, and husband Don Money are expecting their first, and she has been calling it a he.


• Ashely Jensen, who's BFF with Rebecca Romijn, hasn't found out the sex of her baby. Her and her husband Terence Beesley are due in October.


• Brazilian beauty Gisele Bundchen is one of the many Victoria's Secret Angels expecting. Her baby boy, who she has announced will be Gabriel will join half brother John Edward Thomas from her husband Tom Brady's previous marriage.


• Fellow Victoria's Secret model Karolína Kurková is pregnant with her first. The sex is unknown to her.


• Jenna Elfman is expecting a sibling for brother Story Elias. I'm hoping its a girl simply because I'm curious what the female equivalent of Story is. India perhaps? Maybe Ever or Sage? We will just have to wait and see.


• Maya Rudolph is expecting a sibling for the fantastically named Pearl. What a breath of fresh air this baby's name is going to be.


• Scrubs' Judy Reyes is expecting a baby girl.


• Another Victoria's Secret Babe is expecting a babe of her own. Adriana Lima and husband Marko Jaric are due in December.


• Leelee Sobieski and husband Adam Kimmel are keeping the sex of their first baby a surprise.


• Days of Our Lives actors Arianne Zucker and Kyle Lowder are due is December


• Kourtney Kardashian has already said she will not be using a K name. Something tells me this little one has got more chance of being a Diamante or a Wynter than it has being an Elizabeth or a Charles.


• Camila Alves and Matthew McConaughey are excited to give little curly-haired Levi a little brother or sister.


• Lastly, Jillian Reynolds of Good Day LA will welcome her first in January.

Told you it was the season for Celebrity Procreating.

Also, she may not be a Celebrity but you may remember Marilyn. Marilyn was looking for a name for her 4th. As it turns out Marilyn recently welcomed a beautiful baby girl with a lovely name - Daisy Aurora. Isn't she a doll?

PS. Don't you just love Fraser's meaning! Fancy naming a boy strawberry - Just precious! As well as the nickname Huck for Huckleberry. And Oleander makes me think of the wand maker from Harry Potter but still another fave.
