psychic kiki @ 01/11/2008 at 8:45 pm

My predictions are just getting to be TOO accurate. I just knew it was going to be a girl.

What an excellent name! Just beautiful.. and unique. Wow! The entire name just flows and sounds so different. Love it! Love it!

purple gem @ 01/11/2008 at 8:45 pm

Not sure about the Winter but Harlow Kate Madden is a beautiful name.

the_original_nika @ 01/11/2008 at 8:46 pm

what a name for the child..

nicole richee love her @ 01/11/2008 at 8:46 pm

Harlow how lovely. Their safe, and sound. Now I can breath. Ok.

Again ,Thankyou Jared.

#24 kiki thats uncanny. Congrats, baby Harlow. I like.

Doing the happy dance…Best wishes to Nicole &Joel, and Harlow.

KRUNG KRUNG @ 01/11/2008 at 8:50 pm

thier back home already? that was quick.

WOW! congrats to nicole and joel!

Harlow is a great name for a girl, very unique but still normal. Good choice!

Congrats Nicole & Joel

It’s funny, on the People site, the last 3 news posts are about births that took place today.

AWW CONGRATS! cute name

The KATE ruins the name. Harlow (after the film star Jean Harlow or the model Shalom Harlow?) is beautiful and Winter becasue that’s the season she was born. Very nice.

I like the name Harlow too (harkons back to Jean), but the Winter part doesn’t fit. Oh well - congrats!

Not sure I like Harlow O_o. But Winter Kate would have been a beautiful name. It could have been worse LOL. Congrats to them.

Why do celebrities insist on giving their children crappy names?

CHRISTINA JUST HAD HER BABY! TOO!
lol
CONGRATS!!!

http://celebritysource.blogspot.com/

Aww, Harlow.
That’s cute!!
Congrats Nicole and Joel!
Best of luck.

two babys in one day…coolness. congrats to both!!!!!!!!

Nicole and Christina that is.

OMG Harlow is beeeeyoootiful. She’s named after Jean Harlow I bet. Jada Pinkett Smith’s daughter’s name is Willow, similar and beautiful. Congratulations..

If someone can name their kid “summer” or “autumn”, what’s wrong with “winter”??
anyways, Congrats to them!

pink_tulips @ 01/11/2008 at 9:13 pm

congrats and best wishes

aw thats cute
congrats to them!
i like that name, harlow

congrats to both of them and i love the name harlow (its different).

congrats to them

[~F a m o u s~] @ 01/11/2008 at 9:18 pm

i hope she doesn’t lose to much weight. preggo looked good on her - she actually looked decent.

At least we know she didn’t have a c-section like all the other celebrites. No way she has a c-section and goes home the same day.

Here's The Deal @ 01/11/2008 at 9:21 pm

Congratulations, I’m very happy for them! I don’t know if two middle names are really necessary, but the name is pretty nonetheless. Can’t wait to see pictures! :)

they gave their daughter last names…er well Kate isn’t a last name..

hmm not keen on the name.. sounds like somethingi’d name a dog

Aw, congratz to them! :)

that’s an unfortunate name for their baby

Famous is trying to be nice awww you know you like her.:smile:
Congrats, Harlow is a nice name.

aww how cute and I like the name something different but unique

congrats, love nicole so happy for them i know this baby will be beautiful.

Girl names ending in “o” are ugly. Shiloh..Harlow..Willow..Marlo, how awful.

Alexanderina @ 01/11/2008 at 9:36 pm

congrats to Nicole and Joel. I like the name. Thanks Jared

aw yays. congrats to them. ;D

Yay! Loves it!

OMFG I WAS CHECKING EVERY FIVE MINUTES TO SEE IF THE BABY WAS BORN YET YAY I’M SO0O HAPPY 4 HER I THINK SHE HAS GIVEN HOLLYWOOD MOMS SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT SHE WENT FROM BUSTED TEEN TO A CLEAN HEALTHY MOTHER KEEP IT UP NOELOW [JOEL,NICHOLE,HARLOW]

Isn’t it a little early to be going home from the hospital with a newborn? All of my friends who had normal pregnancies were kept at least 2 days. Just wondering.

thank gawd they didn’t name their child with trailer names like Lindsay, Britney (the trailer trash spelling of a beautiful name Brittany)or Tiffany. ugh.

Congradulations Nic, Was it as bad as you imagined… lol

congrats!
joel and nicole!

Aaaawww. Congrats to them!

Aww I’m so happy for them. Harlow is kinda cute actually. Very different.

WOW
i LOVE the name
so unique
I wish them all the best!

Finally, a girl named Harlow Winter Kate. Best news I’ve heard today. Nicole , Joel congrats on your bundle of love.

Hi Amber your mom must be pyschic.:smile: Your mom is good.
I’m really digging the name Harlow. Unique ITA, and pretty. Did Christina have her baby ? Jared would have posted it. What do you think ?

that’s a good name.

Congrats to Nicole and Joel.

Very unique name. Hope they call her Kate. Wonder where they got Harlow from and Winter at least name her Spring or Summer. But it is very cute. Can’t wait to see pictures!!!

Next Up J Lo and Halle and then Cate Blanchette and Jessica and Nicole Kidman it’s raining babies in Hollywood can’t wait for their babies

Harlow is my dogs name.

Guess who the b*tch is ummm..
Miapocca that’s who.
Miapocca, how many names do you steal/ post as ?
The being mean- then answering yourself with the faux ‘congrats’ -
gave you away.
Plus your ”NOW POSTING WITH A- ”BLUE MONIKER”-
”your’e LAME BISH!!
Stop using Nicole Richie Fan’s name, loser.

AHHH! YAY FOR THEM!!!

Patricia arquettes daughter is also named harlow.

I AM TRULY HAPPY FOR THEM… MAY GOD BLESS THEM AND THEIR CHILD…Cant wait to see the little girl

Congratualtions! I really thought this one was a boy! Lionel will love another “Ballerina Girl”!

nicky - I think it’s luck. :) She just likes to look at women’s stomachs and see how they carry…that helps her determine the sex of the baby. I don’t know if it holds true for everyone (the carrying thing), but so far she’s been accurate and she’s been doing it for over a decade.

Chris apparently had her baby at 4pm today. I hope everything’s alright with her baby because they haven’t released any info about him yet.

I like the name Harlow too - it’s unique without being weird. Although I think if she went with a star’s last name for a baby’s first name, she should’ve gone with Loren (i.e. Sophia Loren). It would’ve been pretty with the last name Madden. But it’s her baby and her choice. I wonder what name Christina chose….

Harlow? Made me think of HARLOT, lol. Yikes. Anyways

Congrats to them!!!

She’s already home?

nicky - Well, according to US Chris DIDN’T give birth, but E! said she did. I don’t know what’s going on. LOL

everyone saying that she will go back to her old ways - your WRONG! this is the new and improved nic and i think she will stay this way.

good luck to her and to little miss harlow!

She copied patricia arquettes daughters name

Fantastic name. Harlow. How sweet. Congrats Nic.

yeeeii congratss to both of theem=) finally a happy family.

It’s amazing what a great guy and a loving committed relationship will do for a girl, who was close to going down the wrong path!! She’s put her ducks in order, looks FABULOUS, and has been blessed with a lovely family!! I’m so happy for her!!!!!

Wait did she give birth last friday because that is really quick to be going home since it is still friday . Well anyway Congrats to the new parents

I also love the charity event they had in place of a baby shower! What a beautiful gesture!! Talk about someone coming full circle. Coming out of her “it’s all about me” box, brought her happiness, inner peace, and love!!

itzzzkimmm @ 01/11/2008 at 11:38 pm

Awww!!! Congrats to the couple. Harlow is such a cute name ^_^

Hi Amber it’s been an exciting day. As far as Christina, I’m confused myself with what’s happening. I have faith she’s doing well. Tomorrow or later news will be in. Jared will post it. Your mom should open a business. She has talent, her intuition is fine tuned. Goodnight it’s been nice chatting with you.:smile:

nicky - yes, let’s hope all goes well with Christina and we hear about it soon. I want to see her new baby! That’s so exciting. I SHOULD tell my mom to open a business for that…as often as she’s right, she’d make a bundle. Unfortunately, my mom would never want to profit off of anyone else’s good fortune. I would though! LOL..it was nice talking to you as well, goodnight :)

Such a pretty name. Congrats to the new Mommy and Daddy!

yay congratulations Nicole and joel!! Harlow is such a beautiful and interesting name! the whole name together sounds cool too.
:)

Congrats. Hope they get to enjoy her without being stalked each day… The Arab Aquarius

I agree with 112. Harlow is such a beautiful name. Jean Harlow., best of luck to Nicole and Xtina .

Congrats to Joel & Nicole! I’m so happy for them and I wish them the best. I love Harlow’s name, and I’m sure she’s one beautiful baby girl!

Congrats! One more happy child has just born!

Congratulations to Nicole & Joel. I don’t follow this couple too closely, but I’m so impressed with how Nicole has matured so much since she became pregnant. Unlike her peers. Motherhood suits her well. Best wishes to her and her family.

I love that name Harlow. I’ve never known any person with that name, except of course JH. So estatic for both women.

#138 — stop projecting your situation onto this beautiful, healthy little girl! Too bad it’s hard for you to get over the fact that your folks and people who know you have been calling you such a name throughout your miserable existence!

Congrats to Nicole & Joel for their bundle of joy, Harlow Winter!!!
