Gwen Stefani gives birth to a baby boy named Zuma

Gwen Stefan has given birth to a baby boy named Zuma. We were initially relying on E! Online's report that she gave birth this morning and that the baby's name is Zuma, but that they weren't sure about the gender of the newborn. I assumed it was a girl given the name. It turns out that it's a boy named Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale.

I am tepid on the name Zuma for a little girl, but it seems kind of off for a boy. That name sounds like one of those jagged word clouds that would pop up during a fight on the old Batman TV show. It's an onomatopia, not a name, but it's kind of cute and not stigmatizing. There are certainly worse celebrity baby names. I wasn't fond of 'Birdie,' either, but many of you pointed out that it's a perfectly common and acceptable name.

According to Think Baby Names, Zuma is a very rare name and is a variant of Zulema, which means peace. Gwen and husband Gavin Rossdale's first child, Kingston, two, is thought to be named after the capital of Jamaica, which may have been where he was conceived.

Congratulations to Gavin and Gwen on their second child!
