Remington

Aww, hey little Remy! On April 12, singer Kelly Clarkson and her hubby Brandon Blackstock bid good-morrow to their second child together. And while the self-professed *Game of Thrones* fanatics didn't take a direct page from creator George R.R. Martin with their son's baby name, Remington Alexander still sounds like a fine choice.

Cypress

Fans of Boardwalk Empire were likely happy to hear Jack Huston became a dad for the second time. He and his partner Shannon Click welcomed son Cypress Night in January. That name is full of natural delight!

Story

Every great adventure has an amazing tale, and my, does Soleil Moon Frye's baby name for her son, Story, reflect just that. It's the perfect name for a little boy or a girl.

Minka

One would have to assume Shark Tank investor Daymond John is a fan of rock 'n' roll and the Rolling Stones. He and his longtime girlfriend welcomed daughter Minka Jagger in March. She has a cute name that sounds an awful lot like Mick Jagger. Coincidence? Hmm.
