Does the name Braverijah appear in the Book of Mormon? I always thought unusual LDS names had more to do with a culture of uniqueness than the religion itself. Striving for uniqueness is what gets all crazy baby-namers in trouble, regardless of faith.

Exactly.

Braverijah is an awful name no matter what the religion of the parents.

And that article brought up something that drives me insane: alternate spellings. I have an unusual name, so I don't mind spelling it every time, but naming a baby 'Abigail' and spelling it 'Abygale' (as someone I know did; we call her the small storm warning) is just cruel.

I just hate that! People must think it makes their child look unique, but all it really does is make the parent look illiterate.

I have a friend named Ashley who would regularly change how she decided to spell her name whenever she got bored (last time it was Ashleigh).

OT? Braverijah is not only bad but also difficult to pronounce.

I think it sounds like some unknown part of the female anatomy.

Henry Lee White is the name given to Karen Elson and Jack White's new son. I like it.

If that doesn't confirm that Jack White is a huge Nick Cave groupie, then nothing will.

And the Publicist confirmed that the last name is White not Gillies. I like both names and yay for a rock star for actually choosing nice normal names for his kids, but I confess Scarlett White makes me giggle.

I like the name Henry. I like the name Lee. It's unfortunate that I can only think of Henry Lee Lucas when I hear them together.

That's what I thought, too. Nice choice.

Grant Hill and Tamia have their second daughter, who they've named Lael Rose. Their older daughter is Myla Grace. I sort of like both of those names, surprisingly. I think they're pretty.

As reported in the Celebritiy Pregnancies thread, Baby Spice has a boy named Beau.

I must admit that I'm keeping my fingers crossed it's Beau Bunton and not Beau Jones, because I think the former is kind of awesome. What can I say, I'm a sucker for alliterations.

Hee. It suggests all kinds of evil nursery rhymes.

Baby Beau Bunton
Was eating his wonton
With scallions and peppers and pork.
He swallowed a chili
And looked rather silly
When his mama induced him to hork.

It's funny how some celebrities seem to be pregnant forever, like Bridget Moynahan and Naomi Watts, but then some seem to go by so fast, like Emma. I seriously thought she still had a few months to go yet.

I really like the name Beau. Good job, Emma.
