Holidays are just a bit harder to prepare for when you've got lil ones in tow. Celebs are carting around their shopping bags and their children, but despite the hustle and bustle of the season (and their star status), they still seem to be making time for the best gift of all: their kids.

Which Celebaby Name Do You Like Best?

babysugar — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 13:01:00 -0700

Some parents have their baby names picked out long before they ever meet their spouse. Others stumble upon a name by accident and decide it's a perfect moniker for their tot. However the life–long label is agreed upon, it usually has meaning and purpose behind it.

Jessica Alba chose Honor because it was, well, an honor to have her husband Cash's baby. Baby Levi McConaughey was named after a prophet in the Bible and Harlow Winter Kate Madden was inspired by the famous Hollywood actress Jean Harlow and model Shalom Harlow. While some of them seem a bit bizarre and atypical, they may end up suiting their owner just right.

Did Nicole Name Her Daughter to Spite Scientology?

I'm not buddies with Nicole Kidman or Matthew McConaughey, but I'll admit it's kind of fun learning what they named their children. While Levi was greeted with cheers, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban's moniker was received with mixed emotion. After much curiosity, elated grandfather Antony revealed the meaning behind the babe's name. He told Sydney's Daily Telegraph:

I have read a bit about Sunday Reed and her husband John – she was a key mover and shaker in the arts around the beginning of the century. . . The name Sunday struck me as being a nice name for a woman, so my wife and I mentioned it.

Not surprisingly, some doubters are already speculating other reasons for the name. To see what one source says, read more.

The Huffington Post wonders if the statuesque beauty didn't pick the name Sunday as an insult to her ex–husband Tom Cruise's religion Scientology. The site quotes a source from MSNBC:

Nicole is a Catholic, and Sunday was an important religious day for her until she was involved in Scientology. She's still bitter about her experience with Scientology and the fact her baby's name could be perceived as one last jab doesn't exactly upset her.

I have a hard time believing the blissful couple would be revengeful when naming their newborn baby. What do you think of the name–jabbing theory?

Camila and Matthew Welcome Levi Alves McConaughey!

babysugar — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 14:44:39 -0700

Heartthrob Matthew McConaughey and girlfriend Camila Alves announced the birth of a baby boy yesterday. According to People, Levi Alves McConaughey met his parents face-to-face on Monday, July 7, at 6:22 p.m.

The proud new father explained the name Levi to OK!:

Levi was another name for the apostle Matthew in The Bible. They were, in fact, two names for the same person. . . Our son was born at 6:22 pm, and this particular time represents my favorite verse in the book of Matthew in The Bible: 'If thy eye be single, thy whole body will be full of light.'

In reference to the middle name, Matthew said, "We wanted to incorporate her [Camila's] family name."

It was a profound and life changing day for the couple. To see how the actor summed up his feelings, read more.

Matthew summed up his feelings saying:

We welcome Levi Alves McConaughey into this wonderful life and look forward to living in it with him. In the mean time and all times, just keep livin'.

Levi shares his birthday with Sunday Rose Kidman Urban - daughter of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban. Maybe the two tots will grow up teaching each other about surfing and singing.

Congratulations to Camila and Matthew!

After some hinting around at an imminent delivery on Friday night, People reports country crooner Keith Urban and actress Nicole Kidman welcomed daughter Sunday Rose Kidman Urban into their lives this morning in Nashville, TN. The little lass came into the world weighing six pounds and seven ounces. Sunday Rose is the first child between the married couple.

Are Four-Named Babies the Newest Trend?

LilSugar — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 07:00:00 -0800

Trends come in threes or is it fours? Last week's births of Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell's twins, Dolly Rebecca Rose O'Connell and Charlie Tamara Tulip O'Connell, as well as Bristol Palin's baby, Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston, I think we may be on to something - the four-named child. These new parents aren't the only ones around Hollywood (and Alaska) to jump on the bandwagon. Over the past year we have welcomed Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban and Harlow Winter Kate Madden. For many, it is hard enough to pick out two names, I can't imagine having to choose a third!
Will we be seeing more babies with four name monikers in the future?

Keith Urban Said He's "Mr. Mom," Doesn't He Mean Dad?

LilSugar — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 13:00:06 -0700

Michael Keaton made it famous, Lonestar sang about it and Keith Urban recently played the card, but isn't being "Mr. Mom" simply being dad? You don't hear working women say they are "Mrs. Dad" while at the office. Are we, as a society, as laughable as Jack Butler's antics in the 1983 flick? Like many fathers, Keith Urban relishes spending time with his new bundle of joy, two-month-old Sunday Rose. He told CMT Insider:

"When my wife's working and I've got time off, I'm just Mr. Mom during the day, taking care of the little girl," said Urban, 40, who also called fatherhood "beautiful."

Of course, the proud papa is referring to his taking on the primary caretaker role while his wife, Nicole Kidman, is filming a movie, but since when is tending to one's own tot not just considered daddy duty?
What's your opinion?

Nicole Kidman's Back to Work Three Weeks After Delivery

LilSugar — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 12:00:06 -0700

After gushing about the birth of her new bundle of joy, Sunday Rose Urban, Nicole Kidman is back to work. The baby is the actress's third child as she has daughter, Bella and son, Connor, with her ex-husband, Tom Cruise. The strawberry-blond beauty who barely gained any visible weight while pregnant and did yoga to tone up is all about business. One report said:

Kidman, who whipped into shape faster than paparazzi can snap, is heading for the set of Australia to shoot scenes with hunky co-star Hugh Jackman, according to reports. The epic film, set during WWII, teams Nic with Moulin Rouge mastermind Baz Luhrmann.

Were you ready to go back to work after three weeks?
