I notice that actress Kate Hudson and musician Matthew Bellamy have not yet named their new baby boy. I think we should help.<\/p>\n
Here are the issues, as I see them. Kate Hudson’s first child is named Ryder Russell Robinson. The name Ryder, to me, is in categories like Cool, and Quirky But Not Too Out-There, and Tough But Still a Hippie. Also, the initials are RRR. Also, he has his father’s surname.<\/p>\n
A different father this time could completely change the style of the name—but my guess is that it won’t, or won’t MUCH. The name Ryder has increased in popularity since Kate Hudson used it, so she may be looking for something even more unusual this time, or she may be trying to find something that roughly coordinates with its current popularity. My guess is that she will make the same decision this time to use the father’s surname. If she wants to repeat the triple-initial theme, this means the second child would have the initials BBB; if I had to guess one way or the other, I’d guess she wouldn’t do that this time.<\/p>\n
My top choice for her is Hudson. I love mother’s-maiden-name-used-as-child’s-name names. Hudson Hawn would be nice, after her mother (the middle name Russell was after her step-father). Hudson Bellamy; Ryder and Hudson.<\/p>\n
My second choice for her is Dean. James Dean gives the name a rocker\/hippie toughness\/gentleness that I think goes well with Ryder. Dean Bellamy; Ryder and Dean.<\/p>\n
Another possibility is Devon, from the place Matthew Bellamy’s group Muse began. Devon Bellamy; Ryder and Devon.<\/p>\n
