Each to their own I suppose but I think Nicole Ritchie's new son's name is POSSIBLY one of the worst sleb baby names yet

Are there worse, or am I just being a meanie???

I think its kind of ok

No worse that the Apple/Peaches type thing

I know a Wren and a Lark in real life.

Sparrow? Really? Poor kid. Makes me think Hunter and Hercules aren't all that bad.

But Mazzy, Sparrow is a bit...weak for a boy. For a girl too, in fact. I can only think it suitable for a spindly-legged chick due never to become a hen.

I thought this was going to be a link to her extreme thinness - I didn't notice the catagory.

Has she really called her son Sparrow? Do you have a link?

Wren, Robin, Lark are all okay. Sparrow

Just be glad it's not Thrush.

It's odd for a boy, well for a girl too. But to be sparrow like is to be frail and tiny. Not a very masculine name....

Were they thinking Captain Jack Sparrow?

Sparrow does sound a bit feeble. I expect he will end up with a cool nickname though.

So they've had a Harlow and a Sparrow. I suggest next to be named...Marrow.

Ha, Love the name Marrow!!
Sparrow is such a drippy name for a boy.

Sparrow is just awful. Can't even think of a possible nickname to make it less ridiculous.

In 20 years time, it'll be cool.

I hate it, personally, but I can see it catching on.

Thank goodness I wasn't the only one who didn't know she was pregnant again, Lynette.

Awful name btw. Hope he doesn't grow up with skinny legs.

I think he might well do that, since both parents are quite scrawny. He will hang around at cafes, eating leftovers off people's plates.

Honestly, if they wanted a bird name, couldn't they have called him Eagle or Hawk or Falcon?
