Atlas Noa Babel
Shay Mitchell and Matte Babel gave birth to their daughter Atlas Noa in October 2019, and Shay told Vogue that she got the name inspo from a friend: "A close friend of ours was listing off names for her daughter that she had had a year and a half ago. Then she said 'Atlas' and I looked at Matte, and he looked at me, and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh.” Sounds like they pretty instantly knew it was the one for their lil angel.

Slash Electric Alexander Edwards
Model Amber Rose and Alexander Edwards, the Vice President of Artists and Repertoire for Def Jam Records, welcomed their first child, Slash Electric Alexander Edwards, in October 2019.

Obsessed with these baby crocheted sneakers for Slash! @ourlilkicks 😍🥰👶🏽 #slashelectric

Callum Michael Rebel Kazee
Jenna Dewan and Steve Kazee's son was born in March of this year. The meaning behind this little one's name is actually so precious.

Michael is Steve's middle name and Rebel was to honor Steve's mother Reba.

Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Buruss and her husband Todd Tucker's daughter came into the world via surrogate in November of 2019.

"We actually were supposed to be having twins, and then one of them didn’t continue," she added, "I was sad at first, but then I just had to be grateful that the one made it.”

Bronx Mowgli Wentz
You can probably guess where Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson got their son's middle name from, assuming you've seen The Jungle Book! If you haven't, well, add it to your watch list STAT so you can better understand the cuteness.

Ocean King PenaVega
Carlos and Alexa PenaVega put a lot of thought into the process of picking a name for their first-born, Ocean King. Alexa captioned an ultrasound picture on Instagram in 2016, writing, "God called the dry ground 'land' and the water the 'seas.' And God saw that it was good.- That is why we went with Ocean." "King" represents that he is the son of the "one true King," she also added. Ugh, pretty darn sweet!!
Guess who finally let us cut his hair! All smiles today! SOLID sunset :) #maui #AllGod

Kourtney has said that she and Scott initially disagreed on the name because Scott wanted to name him Preston.
