Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Pete Wentz are now the proud parents of a baby boy. In what seems to be becoming a standard celebrity practice, they have given their son the name Bronx Mowgli. The baby weighed 7 pounds 11 ounces and was born on Thursday night at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

This is the first child for the couple according to a statement from a rep, Ashlee, Pete and baby Bronx are all healthy and happy, and thank everyone for their well wishes!

Pete Wentz is the bassist for the rock band, Fall Out Boy, while Simpson-Wentz is a successful pop star. They made their pregnancy announcement in May. Their wedding took place at her parents home in Los Angeles.

I can imagine the collective groan at this name but I don’t think this trend is going to slow down anytime soon. And remember when he gets to a certain age, Bronx Mowgli can always change it if he wants to. At any rate he may find understanding among any one of the unusually named Hollywood kids, like Pilot Inspektor, son of Jason Lee, or Kal-el Coppola Cage, son of Nicholas Cage.

Still, I expect this name to generate discussion for a while, if only for the fact that this is the newest one to come along. So now that big sis Jessica Simpson is an aunt, she may begin to feel a little pressure to get started having her own family. Let’s hope that a little sibling rivalry doesn’t lead her to try to top her younger sister?s unusual name choice.

Like her older sister, Simpson Wentz has also done some acting, appearing in the film Undiscovered in 2005, as well as making appearances in Malcolm in the Middle and 7^th Heaven.
