Sandra Bullock wins the Oscar for Best Celebrity Baby Name of 2010, for choosing Louis Bardo for her newly adopted son.
Louis is a classic royal name that’s stylish throughout Europe—the Lewis spelling is No. 1 in Scotland—but relatively ignored in the U.S. Bardo is an obscure name borne by a German saint (Bullock’s mother was German) and also the Buddhist concept of an intermediate state, perhaps symbolic of Bullock’s own transformation from B-movie queen to Academy Award-winning actress, from scorned wife to single mom. Louis is also a nod to Louis Armstrong and the baby’s birthplace. (Photo by Jason Kempin/Getty Images) See the Full story at The Daily Beast

The whole Cain thing has mitigated against the ascendance of Abel as a baby name, which is a shame given its simplicity, its history, and its ready and willing connotation. Its choice by Amy Poehler and Will Arnett may help elevate it to the position alongside groovy Old Testament brethren like Abraham and Moses that it deserves.

Musicians don’t usually have a taste for gentle vintage baby names, but Norman “Fatboy Slim” Cook and Zoe Ball chose this granny-style name for their newborn daughter. Even the spelling of Nelly is unflashy, and while May is back in a style as a middle name, Lois is still rarely heard outside the bingo parlor.

New standard middle name Rose almost knocks it out of “best” contention, but Cornish saint’s name Endellion elevates the gently old-fashioned Florence.
