The story behind Kate Hudson's baby name, Bingham HawnUnconventional celebrity baby names (we're still waiting on some star to say they went with John or Jennifer) always seem to spark the question of where the inspiration came from. New parent Matt Bellamy, who welcomed a son with fiancee Kate Hudson last Saturday, explained that their pick of Bingham "Bing" Hawn Bellamy is simply keeping it in the family. The Muse musician tweeted, "For those wondering, Bingham is my mum's maiden name and Bing Russell was Kurt's dad. Family connections all round!"
The middle name, of course, is a nod to Hudson's mom Goldie Hawn, who has been with actor Kurt Russell for years. "Mum and baby are strong and healthy," Bellamy tweeted. "Mum was a warrior" during the July 9 delivery, he added, saying that "Bing popped out after 4.5 hours of intense pushing!"

She named her baby after the sound a BB makes when fired at a tin bucket. It could be worse, however. She could have named it "Rock" or even "Bottom"after another family member. Celebrities are taking advantage of every tax break there is in this country. Why can't we have some kind of fun at their expense? We're technically paying for it. And as far as her need to make a phone book directory-clan of children, what's the big deal? I'm sure that her Latino and British (I bet there's at least one Brit JUST to look fancy) 'round the clock nannies don't mind it at all. Lighten up guys, they're celebrities. They're not real people lol.
I guess you could say thats a crazy way to come up with a name but if they caredwhat i think they would be paying me for my thoughts.
I care so I comment. This is only her 2nd child and her oldest son was born into a marriage. Ok so that marriage didnt work out-it was a "starter marriage". She is allowed to have another child and marriage. Dont hate on babies Casey Anthony!
I love reading stuff like this but it blows my mind when people read articles such as this one and then complain about how they dont care or dont want to hear about celeb stuff. if you dont care dont read it.
You two are sick. Grow up! "Harry P. Ness" and "Ben Dover" and discussions of bodily discharges?! Let's be respectful of Kate Hudson - even though she IS engaged to marry someone who looks like my mama's buthole.
Me too! Did Kate Hudson do the poopie diaper or was it her ugly husband? And why did they freeze it? Preserving it for posterity, no doubt. What color was it? Poo brown or was it one-o-them mustard green color poo's? And what's with your name, Harry? "Harry P. Ness"? That's a good one!
I wanna hear more about that stinky frozen poop diaper!
Very funny.....itdiots
Why the hell should I comment ,if u idiots dont bother to print it?
Congratulations from Michigan!!
I am so happy that finally you are going to love and enjoy your son. Kate don't worry what people say just do what is best for your son and move on with your life. I love any movie that you do because God has given you a special gift that shines and you share
@Lev...says who? You? A mere mortal? Ha! Think again! Boy are YOU in for a surprise!
I have two kids by two different father, poop happens, get over it. And I love the fact that they have picked family names. Just congrat. them. And leave her alone. God Bless you and your baby Kate!
So it's a different name. (my name isn't really mice) i'm named after an author. i grew into it as an adult. he can always pick a nickname when he gets older or if he is really annoyed change it. at least it's not potato or something.
Bing, I suppose, is no better or worse than any of the other star-baby names out there, like Bronx, Kingston & Zuma etc. Let's just hope the child looks like his mom, cause his dad is 1 ewwugly dude! And women throw themselves at him? Maybe they're hoping to flatten him?!
Jesus still saves.
Remember. Jesus saves.
I love Kate. Shes adorable. But the babys name reminds me of Bing Bang Bing Ricochet Rabbit.
@mr ed- did she yet?? Geez...whats up w/ all that....
Happy your baby name
Is Randy Kurt I like name
I hope congratoin for baby boy?
Good luck.
Congratulations with your newborn child and may you all have a healthy, happy life.
First of all Tracie she only has two kids. Second, why does everyone have to pass negative judgments about her? She just had a baby. Either congratulate her and keep it movin or shut the hell up.

If she has 50 kids by 50 men and name them all george their problem let them be.if she like it we should all love it and keep our thoughts to ourselves.
That's actually a nice name & the explanation makes alot of sense. Good for them
.
I'm still waiting for Anna to lick my balls..lol
If this was a poor girl from the ghetto news media would have a field day.what counts is that she loves and takes good care of him.who are we to judge her shame on all of you.
At least they used family related names n didn't name him after some fruit r n airplane n opinions r like A–holes everybody has one.
U̶̲̥̅̊ can give her d name dat suit her an U̶̲̥̅̊ her partens an d commoner!
Thanks chuck, you are right. We should be more concerned with the failing economy in the country and less about who someone sleeps with. When our system falls apart you will have plenty of time to blog and tweet and facebook because you wont have a job. Maybe you don't now
Who even cares. Your country is falling apart and this is what you blog to? Wow.
It works .

How come cribs don't come with nets to go over the top ?
Your supposed to turn it upside down when they start climbing .
That's no way to treat my heir .
Congrads! Have a bless life!! Yall look so happy!!
I absolutly love kate so anythin she does am ok with it
Who cares wut they name their baby its their bussiness
I love the idea of these totally psycho names. The weirder the name , the more you tend to stand out. I am so sick of going to a school where there are about 15 Brittany's and 15 Josh's. Like come on. Choose another name. Anything . Please.
In our traditional ways we have our Government names, that we use in our everyday life and we have our Spirit Names which is bestowed upon as a tribute to the Creator and to our forefathers. A name is just that, its how one lives and contributes to society and only then will your name be remembered. If memory serves me right Joseph was a great stepfather. Blessings to the Lil one and the family. Peace be with you all.
she's an idiot like me toamo@gmail.com ann marie olsen
How much do they make doing that ?
She must have a little britain in here .
Wow that is bangable, I'll do it
Not our place to judge others. I have 2 boys from 2 dads, one from high school and one from my husband who has raised my oldest since he was 1. When I go to church noone looks down on me and my kids are great. Love the name Bingham and what it stands for – nothing wrong with wanting to be different
Cant everyone just mind their own business? Who care what the rich and famous name their babies!
what.in the world is our society coming to? Bless this child and parents with a long happy and healthy life!
Every parent names their child what they want! It was my choice to name my children and her choice to name him bing...a bit strange but her choice! It was your choice to name yours right? Get over it and move on!
u call having babies by different men/women joy and happiness? picture their family photo: 3 children, 1 mon and 3 dads. the kids must be awkwardly happy!
You are a nut. Who cares how others choose to live. they all don't mind. Why do you? I think you are jealous. and probably retarded.
She now has 2 kids. She was married to the father of her first child. People who live in glass houses.....
Come on people – be tolerant of others. If you dont like the way they live; look away.
Im really ughly and funny lookin. Maybe she will hook up with me. . . . . naaaaaah. . . . .dont guess id want her.... . . she already got kids plus aint too pretty herself.
Congratulations to the happy couple and their newborn!!! All of those against joy and hapiness can go to H E L L!!!
Looks like she's trying to break her mother's babies daddies record. Americans, especially celebrities, have lost all sense of godliness and decency. they have babies out of wedlock, marry today divorce tommorrow and married again... and the most ridiculous is the utter nonsense called "open marriage." the name itself tells u it's satan inspired.
If you're such a Christian, why not focus on your own sins and shortcomings before worrying about the sins of others? I am pretty sure that's what Jesus would say to you. And I am also pretty sure you are not perfect so there is probably a few things you could work on.
Its her 2nd (I'm pretty sure)...that's all. Why does it matter to you who she sleeps with?
Another right wing religious fanatic heard from.
@Christina you are missing the point. We are to look after our own sins but also help others realize their sins so they have the hope of heaven.
No such thing as heaven Lio. People need to stop believing in fairy tales.
Not fairy tale...truth!
John is such a nice name I think the should go with john all the best ok...
Until I started frequenting these blogs, I had No Idea how many people have poop fixations! Live & learn, I guess!!
I understand Kate can turn baby doo doo into a fine and tasty pimento cheese spread.
She does hook up with ugly men. Now that I know the name history, I think it's great. I don't think she will follow through though with the wedding. I bet they will part within a year.
maybe they were planning on using the baby as an internet search engine
Wow, can she pick some fugly men...
Not as ugly as you... once I'm done shooting those roids, I'm coming over with a Louisville Slugger.
You should trying smelling frozen dirty diapers.
How many kids, by how many different men will she have ? Right now she's on track with her Mother.
She must have a little britain in her.
reads like "bring it on"
You are disgusting!
A chef would be a good idea for a baby shower gift .
Baygal, you sound fun. I would like to sniff your doookied in drawers.
