Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale are planning an unusual name for their unborn baby, in an attempt to stay inkeeping with their first child, Kingston.

“There are some names floating around the house. We don’t want anything too crazy, but compared to a name like Kingston, there’s so much pressure on the poor guy or poor girl. Kingston set a pretty intense standard

Actress Cate Blanchett and playwright husband Andrew Upton yesterday welcomed the arrival of Ignatius Martin, their third son, according to the Daily Telegraph.

Blanchett and Upton already have two sons, Dashiell, 6, and Roman, 3.

The acclaimed actress is set to star in the upcoming fourth film in the Indiana Jones franchise opening soon.

The name Ignatius, originally from the Roman family name ‘Egnatius’ and later modified to closer resemble ‘ignis’, meaning ‘fire’ in Latin, was borne by several saints, including Saint Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuits.

We send our best wishes to all five of the family!

England cricketer AndrewFreddie” Flintoff and wife Rachael today announced the birth of their third child - a boy named Rocky.

Weighing in at 8lb 9oz, Rocky Flintoff can’t thank boxing legend Balboa for his name - the couple settled on the Rocky simply “because they liked it.” Still, I’m sure Freddie wouldn’t object to his son becoming a similarly heroic sportsman.

Freddie, aged 30, already has his the names of his wife and first two children, Holly and Corey, tattooed on his back - Rocky is set to join them shortly.

“Andrew is busy training and Rachael starts working on her new project, a fitness programme which advocates a sensible and simple approach to healthy eating and getting back into shape while juggling the many demands of family life.”

Congratulations to Freddie and Rachael on their new born Rocky! Let’s ask our readers - what do you think of the name? Is it too well associated with the movie?  And what about the Rock + Flint geological connection?
