Behind the Name
Lori told us: "Our miracle baby's name, Owen, means warrior and he is as he fought to be here with us."
Mabel means lovable, and what could be sweeter than that?
Think your little guy's gonna be a bruiser? Then go for Breaker.
He may not be a prince, but Dominick means lord, so you're close.
Nothing screams glam like Paloma, jewelry designer and daughter of Picasso.
You just know Calypso will grow up to be a cool chick.
Lucky Bronx, his nickname can be BM, and his initials are BMW...
