Celebrity Baby Names of 2011: Spring Season

An editorial note: I'm changing the way I publish celebrity baby name updates from a monthly basis to seasonally. This makes the list more accurate, since details on some of the babies' names can be slow to trickle in. I'm hoping it also makes it easier for you to get a quick look at naming trends in one spot.

Listed are the baby's birthday, parents, and the baby's first and middle name (if available).

  1. Agnes Lark and Marcel are my favourites :)
    I also love Hero but not Harper, and Hero is all girls name to me, with its history and literary references I would never even consider giving it to a boy!
    Nothing really atrocious here actually, but Kannon kind of ruins the wonderful Valentine, Yardley Evans and Mosley Thompson are too masculine and Morocco would have been more than strange enough.
