With such a talented gene pool to draw from, we're surprised Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel's baby didn't come out belting "Evita" or the closing number to Oliver.

The two Broadway veterans welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Walker Nathaniel Diggs, on Wednesday.

A rep for Diggs confirmed to Access Hollywood that all was well with the new family—despite the child having a name that will forever be associated with a really bad Chuck Norris television show about a Texan ranger, but we digress. When Dating, How Important Is Someone's Name?

Elisabeth Hasselbeck can't win. She gave birth Sunday in New York City to her third child, a boy weighing 7 lb., 7 oz. According to husband, Tim Hasselbeck, "Elisabeth and Isaiah are doing great."

They’re criticizing the name of her son, Isaiah Timothy, saying not only is it a target for schoolyard teasing; it's also a strong Christian reference.

So you want Robert and he wants Asher. Or you want Daffodil and he wants Jane. No matter what your scale you're using (traditional or trendy? family-based or original?) naming your baby is one weighty matter you don't want to compromise on.

You should both be comfortable with the moniker you choose for your baby, and you only get to pick one first name. Another naming conundrum: Is … Read More

Three weeks before the birth of my first daughter, when I was swollen, uncomfortable and horrified by my bloated body, distended fingers and inability to see my toes, my midwife suggested I have more sex.

I laughed.

Oxytocin is quite a busy hormone. When released in the brain, it facilitates sex, orgasm, birth and breastfeeding, as well as feelings of bonding, connection and trust.

No wonder, then, that scientists want to recreate the chemical's effects. Drugs that simulate the hormone, like Pitocin, are given to pregnant women to help induce labor. A synthetic oxytocin nasal spray has been produced to help mothers create milk for newborns, and researchers are experimenting with how doses of it might combat memory loss and autism, and improve sexual functioning.

In her forthcoming book The … Read More
