BabyCenter, a popular pregnancy and parenting website, announced its list for the best and worst celebrity baby names of 2010. The results were based on a site poll of almost 2000 parents.Rhea Durham and David Burtka (and famous partners Mark Wahlberg and Neil Patrick Harris, respectively) find themselves at the top of the best list with classic names Grace Margaret for Rhea and Mark, and Harper Grace for David and Neil. (Interestingly, David and Neil also made the least favorable list with the other twin in their pair, Gideon Scott.)
Topping the worst list are Jamie Oliver's son Buddy Bear, Alicia Keys' son Egypt and Will Ferrell and wife Viveca Paulin's son Axel. We're sure they are all lovely babies, but we kind of agree about the weird names.

LOVE that you guys used the significant others' names as headliners for this article!! Hate it when the press forgets that there are two parents.
And I don't get how Gideon Scott ended up among all those actual terrible names! It's a lovely name!
Really? You think "Easton", "Levi", and "Bryn" are GOOD names? Easton and Bryn aren't even names.
Bryn was named as a tribute to her father's deceased brother, Bryan. I thought it was a beautiful name and a creative and lovely way to remember the baby's uncle even though she was a girl.
Matt Damon's kids' names will look good in lights at Scores - Alexia (Dislexia), Gia and Stella (Isabella is actually nice). Guess they will follow mom into the family business.
