UPDATE: Jenna & Tito name their twin boys Jesse & Journey
Jenna Jameson & Tito Ortiz have named their newborn twin sons, born on March 16
Introducing Jesse Jameson Ortiz & Journey Jett Ortiz
Origin & Meaning of JESSE JAMESON & JOURNEY JETT:
Jesse is of Hebrew origin to mean "gift". Jameson is of Old English origin, meaning "son of James" however it obvious the inspiration is Jenna's surname*. Journey is of no particular origin and it is unclear where the inspiration for the name comes from. Speculation is that the name Journey is inspired by the rock band of the same name. Jett is also without origin, however is known in geological circles as the name of a black mineral
* Jenna's surname, Jameson, is in fact not her real name - she reportedly chose this name from the phone book, whilst searching for a "J" name that would sound really catchy with Jenna. She is also a fan of Jameson Whiskey, which was also apparently a deciding factor on this name

UPDATE: Gwen Stefani spills the beans on the inspiration for naming her son Zuma
The interviewer even had the nerve to ask if Zuma was conceived there as well, to which Gwen sarcastically replied: "Yeah, we're doing it on the beach, dude..The paparazzi!"
She also said that she kinda stole the name from No Doubt bandmate, Tony Dumont and his wife Mieke - they were talking baby names one day and Mieke was the one who threw Zuma into the mix but Gwen snapped it up. Gwen insists they had let it go anyway and was happy because she really wanted a quirky name for her second born child - after all, it had to be something unique to go with big brother, Kingston
Gwen will reunite with her No Doubt bandmates to begin their US tour on May 3 at the Bamboozle Festival in New Jersey - no doubt, taking the adorable Kingston & Zuma along for the ride

Happy Birthday - Brooklyn Joseph Beckham
Happy Birthday to Brooklyn Joseph Beckham - 10 years old today!
Eldest son of fashionista & Spice Girl Victoria "Posh" Beckham and soccer superstar husband David Beckham. Big brother to Romeo James (6 years) & Cruz David (4 years)
Born March 4th, 1999 in London
Victoria has gone on record to say that they chose Brooklyn for their first born to reflect the New York borough of the same name where they were when they found out she was pregnant, and not where he was conceived, as had been widely speculated. Brooklyn is a place she had always liked - in fact in her autobiography, Learning to Fly, she even calls it "very multi cultural and very grounded". It was here the couple went to shun the spotlight following David's fall from grace during the World Cup in 1998 where he was sensationally sent off prior to the end of the game, in which England went on to lose, being one player down as a result of his penalty. She goes on to say she always liked the name Brooke and wanted to make it more "blokey".
Trivia: Brooklyn's godparents are singer Elton John & partner David Furnish, along with actress Elizabeth Hurley

Happy 1st Birthday to Emme Maribel & Maximilian David Muniz
Born February 22nd, 2008
Meaning & Origin of EMME & MAXIMILIAN: Emme is of French origin, a variation of Emma, to mean "healer of the universe". Maribel is a blend of the Latin Mary, meaning "star of the sea" and the French Belle, meaning "beautiful". Max is of Old English & German origin, meaning "greatest". David is of Hebrew origin, meaning "the beloved, adored one"
It is unclear of the inspiration of the twins' first names however the middle name Maribel is named in honour of Marc Anthony's sister who passed away of a brain tumour and David is named in honour of the father of Jennifer Lopez. Muniz is Marc Anthony's family name
Friday, February 20, 2009
Happy Birthday - Cruz David Beckham
Happy Birthday to the very cute Cruz David Beckham - 4 years old today!

It is widely reported that the Beckhams chose the Spanish name CRUZ as homage to their adopted home in Madrid (David was contracted to Spanish team Real Madrid at the time of the birth of Cruz). The middle name of their third son is obviously in honour of his handsome father David, and it can also be noted that Grandpa Beckham is also named David
Happy Birthday - The Cross - Mahoney Twins!
Happy 2nd Birthday to Savannah & Eden Mahoney
Born February 20th, 2007
Meaning & Origin of EDEN & SAVANNAH: EDEN is of Hebrew origin to mean "delight" or "the first place of pleasure" (ie, the Garden of Eden in the Old Testament). SAVANNAH is of Old English origin meaning "a treeless plane". In the Native American Taino language it also translates to "open plane". In an interview with People magazine, Marcia explains that the name Savannah came to her in a premonition then when, out of the blue, her husband mentioned he liked the name, it was too bizarre a coincidence to let it go by the wayside. She goes on to say the name Eden came to her during a massage. Marcia usually tends to dress her twin girls in different outfits which is a nice throw back to tradition
