(San Francisco) –BabyCenter.com, the #1 pregnancy and parenting mobile
and web destination worldwide, today announced its list of the most
and least favorite celebrity baby names of 2011. BabyCenter surveyed
its audience to see which celebrity baby names made the A-list and
which fell short. Based on responses from nearly 3,000 moms,
BabyCenter found that Victoria and David Beckham did the best job in
naming their little girl, Harper Seven. The name Harper has already
jumped an impressive 34 spots and is clearly parents’ favorite
celebrity name of the year. Also topping the list are Willow Sage,
the daughter of new parents Pink and Carey Hart, and Aiden, son of
Rod and Penny Lancaster Stewart.
“Celebrities are
creative and their baby name choices are no exception,” says Linda
Murray, BabyCenter Global Editor-in-Chief. “Love them or hate them,
celebrity baby names are always a hot topic, so it’s no surprise
that nearly 50 percent of expecting moms trying to decide on a name
find inspiration from celebrities.”
