Isla Fisher is the only one of these celebrities to choose a food-name for her delicious baby, Olive. The feisty Australian redhead, famous for playing a crazed but spunky love maniac in Wedding Crashers, doesn't like to plan things too far out. She and her longtime fiance, the funny Borat and Ali G star Sacha Baron Cohen, saw their adorable newborn daughter and knew the coastal Mediterranean delicacy of a name would fit her perfectly.
Halle Berry's busy life as a famous actress finally slowed down a little in March when the fortysomething X-Men star and model boyfriend Gabriel Aubry welcomed their first baby, Nahla Ariela Aubry. After months of trying to get pregnant, this Ohio-born star said she enjoyed every minute of the wait to find out the sex of the baby. And the name for their precious baby girl, Nahla, means "honeybee" in Arabic -- a very appropriate choice for the daughter of Halle, our modern cinema queen bee. As for the future, Berry has already signed on to start her first post-baby movie -- and she told Oprah she wants to start trying for Little Berry No. 2 asap-ish.
International NamingPrimetime celeb Julianna Margulies didn't bestow any edible qualities on her new baby boy, Kieran Lindsay Lieberthal, but may have given him a little luck of the Irish. The Emmy-winning actress chose a strong Gaelic name, popular in England, Ireland, and Scotland, for her son. Best known for her longtime role on NBC's ER, the dark-haired beauty tied the knot with attorney Keith Lieberthal in November of 2007 -- and a few months later had Kieran, her first child. She's currently starring in FOX's courtroom drama, Canterbury's Law.
Volleyball pro Gabrielle Reece is married to big-wave surfer Laird Hamilton -- and in keeping with their famously beachy lifestyle, the pair welcomed second daughter, Brody Jo Hamilton, into the world in Hawaii. The couple had the name Brody picked out before knowing if the baby would be a boy or a girl -- and this choice works equally well for both. The six-foot-plus, famously fit Gabby has also given birth to her own pregnancy fitness DVD.
