SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 12, 2012 -- BabyCenter® , the #1 pregnancy and parenting mobile and Web destination worldwide, today announced its list of the most and least favorite celebrity baby names of 2011. BabyCenter surveyed its audience to see which celebrity baby names made the A-list and which fell short. Based on responses from nearly 3,000 moms, BabyCenter found that Victoria and David Beckham did the best job in naming their little girl, Harper Seven. The name Harper has already jumped an impressive 34 spots and is clearly parents' favorite celebrity name of the year. Also topping the list are Willow Sage, the daughter of new parents Pink and Carey Hart, and Aiden, son of Rod and Penny Lancaster Stewart.
"Celebrities are creative and their baby name choices are no exception," says Linda Murray, BabyCenter Global Editor-in-Chief. "Love them or hate them, celebrity baby names are always a hot topic, so it's no surprise that nearly 50 percent of expecting moms trying to decide on a name find inspiration from celebrities."
