If you're looking for a glamorous baby name, the 85th Academy Awards have some great ones to choose from. Remember, though, that celebrity-inspired baby names tend to trend, meaning there might be three kids your child's kindergarten class with her very same name. But maybe not, especially if you name her Quvenzhane'.

Gisele Bundchen's Baby Girl
Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady finally showed off their beautiful baby girl, Vivian Lake. She's a pretty little thing, isn't she? She may just be as pretty as her mom.
As a baby name, Vivian has had a healthy revival, and there are plenty of different spellings for everyone's taste: Vivienne, Vivien, Vivian.
Here'a a picture of a Vivien you probably recognize: Vivien Leigh of Gone With the Wind fame.

Baby Name of the Day: Beatrix
When you think of the name Beatrix, you probably first think of Beatrix Potter, the Victorian author of the much-loved Peter Rabbit stories. Not only did she write those charming stories, but she also drew the illustrations. In fact, as a fourteen-year-old, she was awarded an Art Student's Certificate for model drawing and freehand. She employed her art skills to drawing scientific nature drawings and presented a scientific paper to the Linnean Society. A recent Hollywood film starring Renee Zellweger and Ewan McGregor focuses on Beatrix Potter's relationship with Norman Warne.
But Miss Potter isn't the only well-known Beatrix out there. Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands (pictured above) has been in the news lately because she has announced that she will be abdicating the throne in favor of her son Prince Willem-Alexander. She's approaching her 75th birthday, and I imagine she would like to slow down and take up a hobby or two. After all, she's been the queen for 33 years.
One of the wonderful things about this baby name is that it has such charming potential nicknames: Bea and Trixie. It's old-fashioned and lovely, but it has a kick with that "x" at the end.

Adele's Baby's Name
Adele sure knows how to keep a secret. There she was, all ecstatic about winning Best Original Song at the Golden Globes on Sunday night, and she still hasn't spilled the beans about her baby son's name.
In an interview afterward, she said it was her first night out since the baby was born. Wow! The Golden Globes! I think I went to Taco Bell for my first night out after the baby was born.
Here's what she said about her baby boy's name: "I am not sharing his name at the moment. It is very personal to me and I just want to enjoy him at the moment." I have to say that I think she is very wise. New moms only get to be new moms for a very short time, and her personal life is often overshadowed by the press and the noise of her fans.
The very best to you, Adele, and your sweet little boy, whom we shall call Fred until you let us know what his real name is.
