The celebrity baby boom continues today with the offspring of Jude Law and Ellen Pompeo. Separately. Not together. To our knowledge, Jude Law and Ellen Pompeo did not have sex with each other and grow a baby. Sorry for the confusion. People reports on Law’s unintended spawning:
Samantha Burke, the 24-year-old aspiring actress whom Law met while filming Sherlock Holmes in New York City last year, gave birth to a 5-lb., 12-oz daughter Tuesday night.
“Samantha Burke is overwhelmed with joy at the arrival of her beautiful and healthy baby girl, Sophia,” Burke’s rep, Eileen Koch, tells PEOPLE. “The baby and mom are doing wonderful.”
And Us Weekly dishes on Ellen’s tot:
Grey’s Anatomy actress Ellen Pompeo and husband Chris Ivery have welcomed their first child, a girl, her rep tells Usmagazine.com exclusively.
“Her name is Stella Luna Pompeo Ivery,” her rep tells Us. “She was born Sept. 15 in Los Angeles.”
Sophia and Stella join Charlotte Prinze as celeb babies whose names don’t make us fear for the future of humanity. But while this is good for us, it’s kind of crappy for the kids. Without f’ed-up names, these children just might grow up normal, well-adjusted, and accepted by their peers. Kids like that don’t grow up to make tons of cash off of scandalous tell-alls. Think of the kids’ futures, people!

Stella Luna isn’t really a normal name… it’s just Italian for “Star Moon,” isn’t it? she’s gonna grow up to be another Soleil Moon Frye. Who, btw, has children named Poet Sienna Rose Goldberg and Jagger Joseph Blue Goldberg.
This is why you should be off the drugs when naming the kid. People do crazy things when they’re on the meds, legal and otherwise. (It also helps to have a nursing staff know to spell, too. When I was born, the nurse couldn’t spell my middle and butchered it like Leatherface does a teenager. I haven’t even bothered to get a court order to change it. I just let stay so I can remember the object lesson.)
I just skimmed WA’s comment at first and thought his middle name was “Leatherface”, which would be the single coolest thing in the entire universe.
KateR, Stella Luna together is kind of cheesy and a little stupid, but Stella by itself is a nice, normal name, so the kid’s got a chance.
Alas, the universe had other ideas. (Besides, I was about five when Leatherface made his first appearance. A little late for getting that middle name. Probably means someone already has it.
)
