I know there is going to be a lot of fighting over this one, but I just want to say at the beginning that I don’t hate it. Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy have released the name of their newborn son, who Kate gave birth to on Saturday. The name? Bingham Hawn Bellamy. “Hawn” for Kate’s mom, Goldie Hawn, I’m just taking a wild guess. Kate did that with Ryder too – Ryder’s middle name is Russell, after Kurt Russell, Kate’s stepfather and the man who raised her since she was very, very young. Screw you guys, I think “Bingham Hawn” is SO CUTE.
[From Matt’s Twitter]
Matt wrote “Bing” on his Twitter, like it was already the kid’s official nickname, like they’re just going to be calling him Bing Bellamy. See? How does that not make you laugh… in delight? It’s adorable! Bing Bellamy is the sidekick in a hilarious slapstick romantic comedy in 1948. Bing Bellamy is a song and a dance man. Bing Bellamy can do the Jitterbug. Bing Bellamy went to dinner with Sinatra in Palm Springs, and Bing Bellamy played craps with Dean Martin. BING BELLAMY RULES!
PS… Please don’t make a million “Chandler Bing” references. Please DO make a million Bing Crosby references.

I LOVE that name!

Makes me think of the stupid search engine ads. I hope Microsoft paid for the endorsement.
I wonder if he made the “BING” noise when he “popped out.”
I’m naming my kid Google+.

Bingham is the name of one of my uncles so therefore a beloved family name.
And everyone loves Uncle Bing.

LOL, I totally didn’t even think about the Chandler Bing reference, the first thing that popped into my head when seeing that name was Bing Crosby, since he was also a singer (like Matt is)…Anyway, congrats to the happy family and welcome Bing Bellamy!

It’s much better than Moroccan or Harper Seven. (The latter makes me think of a Cylon version of the Canadian prime minister.)
That said, most people are going to think of Chandler rather than Crosby. But it could be worse — Elizabeth Hurley named her son Damian, not realizing the name is widely associated with the classic horror film “The Omen”!

I like it. Better than naming your kid Jaden, Isabella/Bella, Edward, or Neveah.

I’m not a big fan of alliteration when it comes to baby names (or cutsie name patterns) but Bingham is cute. And it made me think of Bing Crosby,not known as a great guy in real life from what I’ve heard but a legendary performer. I didn’t think if Chandler Bing until you mentioned it.

I hope she is a huge Friends fan – Chandler “Bing”.

Not really into the name, but it’s their kid, not mine. Though it’s not totally related, I still don’t think there’s a snowball’s chance in hell these two are going to last.

Well, Kurt’s father BING was a good guy, and it honors both her parents. So, I don’t see the problem.

I always liked Mr. Bingham better than Mr. Darcy. At least she picked a real, old fashioned name, rather than the room in their house where he was conceived (Moroccan, cough cough).

Bingham is Matt’s mother’s maiden name and also Kurt Russell’s father is named Bing, here you go
I think is really cute.

There’s nothing wrong with “Bing” or “Bingham” — unless your last name starts with “Bell.” Then it’s just stupid.

Compared to a lot of other weirdo celebrity kids names, I am okay with this. Plus I think her grandfather’s name was Bing, wasn’t it? Either way, I don’t LOVE it but I don’t hate it. At least it’s a name that makes sense to me.

I don’t mind the name but I seriously doubt she pushed “intensely” for 4.5 hours.

I don’t like it — but after reading Coco’s history of the name, I think it’s a sweet gesture on Matt and Kate’s part. What a coincidence, though, that his mom’s maiden name and Kurt’s dad’s first name would be the same!!!!

What is this trend of ugly names with celebs? The worst so far lately is Agnes, Jennifer’s Connelley’s daughter.

Love the “Hawn,” but WTF is “Bingham?”
I understand the “giving” of family names (my daughter’s middle name is “Ruth” and I’m sure she hates it!), but “Bing?”
Was he conceived in Binghampton? Is Micro$oft going to sue or pay the happy couple a monthly stipend? Was Kate and Mr. Bellamy eating pork with cherries when they conceived?

At least it’s not named Lola. The baby’s sex doesn’t enter into it, what gender pops out at you when hear dumb names like ‘Zuma’ and ‘Puma’? Neither,as it reeks too highly of, ‘Another dickslap celebrity who needs more attention’. Nero was an actor/musician too, so whatever on you. But Lola? I don’t understand the celebrity obsession with that somewhat under ‘above board’ moniker. It’s not really the name itself, but it suggests a career path, that’s all I’m saying. You couldn’t name a girl BrandiiiiiiXXX and expect anything but it ending in tears. Same for Moxie KlaatuFighter, or whatever. Always think when naming a child: will this name get my kid beat up, or just remind people of a legendary child abuser? Maybe just don’t name your kid, ‘Starring Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford and Kate Middleton as the wire hanger she loved’, we can concentrate on fractions and gym later.

Naming a baby is HARD! We’ve picked out three first names: Jacob, Austin and Jackson and that’s as far as we’ve gotten. And we only have 6 weeks left!

I like it a lot. And the first time around I pushed for 31/2 hours so it’s not outside the realm of possibility that she pushed for a long time (especially because she had a c-section with her first).

@junk573r, Oh come on! She is hardly at the Yoko level
I mean, Yoko is YOKO.
I like the name. It’s a lot better than Cruz, Romeo, Peaches, etc. lol and she has her reasons to name him Bingham. It wasn’t so much a “I’m a celeb so I’ll give my child a weird name” moment.

She pushed?! Didn’t she say she had a C-section the first time?! Surprised they let her try to give birth vaginally.

I like Bingham Bellamy Hawn better but thats just me. Rolls off the tongue better.
If the name doesn’t roll off your tongue when your kid does something like stuff a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in the VCR or if she dumps a whole bottle of nail polish on the dog, then you don’t give your child that name. Personal opinion of course.

@Baylor From what I understand, some doctors are more willing to let a woman try natural before going straight to the c-section even if she has had one before. I have friends who had a c-section first who had natural the next time and yet my sister in law wasnt given the option to even try. Probably depends on the circumstances/age/health/Lord only knows what.
