When it comes to baby names, Mark Wahlberg and his wife Rhea Durham apparently know how to pick 'em. They're topping BabyCenter's list of the best celebrity baby names of 2010 with their daughter's name, Grace Margaret. "Grace" is also part of the second-most popular name, Harper Grace, which Neil Patrick Harris and his partner David Burtka have given their little girl. But Harris and Burtka apparently missed the mark in naming Harper Grace's twin brother, as Gideon Scott ranks sixth on BabyCenter's round up of least favorite celebrity baby names. Other "favorites" include Aviana Olea, which is Amy Adams and Darren Le Gallo's daughter's name; Olivia Marie, the name Lance Armstrong gave his daughter; and Bryn, which Bethenny Frankel chose for her daughter. Rachel Dratch's son, Eli Benjamin, has the highest-ranking boys name at number six on the list.
But celebrity chef Jamie Oliver and Juliette Norton aren't scoring points with their son's name, Buddy Bear Maurice, which tops the 2010 list of least favorite celebrity baby names. The names of Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz's son Egypt Daoud, Claudia Schiffer's daughter Cosima Violet, and Will Ferrell's son Axel are also among the "least favorite," along with Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart's daughter Billie Beatrice, Amy Poehler and Will Arnett's son Abel James, and Celine Dion's son Nelson. BabyCenter based the lists on responses in a survey of just under two-thousand moms.
