Lifestyle Duana Names: Xavier, Lafayette, Memphis I am in love with the names Xavier Lafayette, and Memphis Xavier. I am told these are the worst names in existence.

Lifestyle Duana Names: Too much Beckham? My daughter, Harper, is 17.5 months (She was born 3 weeks before H7 and it kills me. Was not going for a trendy name.

Baby and Bump Obsession Lily Allen’s Mismatched Siblings? I mean, I have to hand it to Lily Allen – I do not hear from her, and most of my thoughts about her family these days focus on whether or not Alfie is bothered by the fact that nobody likes his character Theon Greyjoy.
