ANSWER! Ashlee Simpson and Victoria Beckham

Pop rocker Simpson and Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz had their first child on November 20, 2008. The baby boy was named Bronx Mowgli Wentz -- paying homage to both the New York City borough and the Jungle Book character.

Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham and her footballer husband David also named their first child after a borough -- Brooklyn. Brooklyn Joseph Beckham was born March 4, 1999, to be followed by Romeo James in 2002 and Cruz David in 2005.

That leaves three boroughs up for grabs. Staten Island, anyone?
