Best and Worst Celeb Baby Names:

I know that celebrities are all about being edgy and different, but why oh WHY must they curse their offspring with such ridiculous names? At least a few of them got it right! Here are a few of my faves:

Stella Zavala Damon (girl)

Parents: Matt Damon and Luciana Bozan Barroso

We’re totally digging the classic revival trend we’ve seen this year, and it looks like Matt Damon and wife Luciana are into it too. A flashback to Marlon Brando shouting, “Stella!” is about as good as it gets. Of course, they may have named her after the beer, but we’re going to go with Brando in our minds.

Krishna Thea Lakshmi (girl)

Parents: Padma Lakshmi and Adam Dell

Okay, so we might be biased because we love anything and everything Padma-related (even her jewelry line — guilty as charged), but we’re big fans of the name Krishna. (Krishna is a Hindi deity, so the name references Padma’s own Indian culture.) And while we don’t expect to see many other Krishna Theas running around soon, we love that the uniqueness of the name isn’t arbitrary and actually has significance.

Abel James Arnett (boy)

Parents: Amy Poehler and Will Arnett

Two years ago, the comedy duo chose to name their baby boy Archie and everyone universally cringed (we love the comic but wouldn’t want it as our namesake). But Amy and Will have redeemed themselves this year with a name that’s still unique—without being borderline cartoonish. Plus, they’re totally on-trend—biblical names have been huge for 2010.
