Gossip site Just Jared is reporting this morning that Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Antony have already chosen the baby names for their upcoming twins.

Based on a story in Star magazine, it’s believed that the J.Lo babies will be named Max and Emme.

Supposedly J.Lo??™s mother Guadalupe had two gold-rope baby ID bracelets engraved in New York City, and another shopper overheard the order. Hmm. Or maybe a magazine just wants to sell more issues.

Time will tell.

Olympic champion skater Scott Hamilton, and his wife, Tracie Hamilton, welcomed their second child, a son, on January 21 in Tennessee. They chose the name Maxx — that’s with the letter ‘x’ twice, not a typo.

Now why would they do that? So that their son could spend his life correcting people who mispell his name? Of course not! They did it to be different — a hallmark of many celebrity baby names.

Well, it’s different all right. For some reason, it reminds me of the movie Mad Max, even though there was only one ‘x’ in that title. I guess that’s because seeing the name Max spelled Maxx has me groping for cultural references to place it somewhere. Whatever. Maxx it is.
