Valentina Paloma Pinault
Salma Hayak gave birth to her first child, a daughter... and named her Valentina. This is an excellent choice for a little girl who will have many opportunities in life , and parents who have a cosmopolitan outlook. This name boosts confidence and also gives great support if this baby chooses to follow in mom's footsteps with an acting career. And, there are many good options in nicknames such as.... Tina or even Val. The middle name here is also an ideal choice. The flow is lyrical in sound and visuals. And the subliminal quality of the middle name will bring solid qualities overall in the personality. Even the first name here is strong. Expect great things from this little lady!

Alexander Pete Schrieber
Naomi Watts is now a new mom after welcoming her son, Alexander Pete Scrieber. So how did she do with her naming duties? The name Alexander is one of those tried and true monikers that has been used for centuries. It comes from Greek and we are told it means "defender" or "warrior." The truth is, those carrying the name Alexander are very unlikely to want to defend anyone, nor will there be a desire to become a warrior. This is a name that establishes a fun, optimistic mood... with an interest in enjoyable adventures and friendly companionship. Now of course if an Alexander becomes an Alex we have a whole different influence. An Alex may want to "defend" the world and is also likely to show a tower of strength image to all he meets. This name encourages academic interest and downplays distracting emotion. So while Naomi chose a first name that has some good potential no matter what direction her little one chooses to go, the middle and full name have some problems. Once Alexander Schreiber gets older, he could have a tough time maintaining a stable professional life... and a stable financial life. Most parents focus lots of attention on the choice of first name, but once that moniker is chosen, just as much time should be give to the middle name. After all, each name component has a big role to play, so why not let your child have it all!?

Sam Alexis Woods
Golf icon Tiger Woods and his wife Elin welcomed their first child, a daughter... Sam Alexis Woods. While these parents probably did not study the subliminal influences of the first and middle names they chose for their baby, they did zero right in on names that will encourage their daughter to take after dad in a big way! While Sam is one of those multi-gender names that can apply to a boy or girl, it is most often considered masculine and with good reason. Tthe subliminals associated with this name emphatically boost the masculine and physical sides of the personality. So even if this moniker is worn by a young lady, she is likely to opt for a tomboy path through life. Yes, when dad starts swinging those golf clubs in the backyard, it won't be long before little Sam will want to get herself into the action. The initial "S" of the first name will also boost independence, determination and physical stamina , and the middle name of Alexis brings even more of a desire to be original and self-sufficient. Finally, when that full name comes together, there is an overall influence that encourages detail-consciousness, technical excellence.... as well as physical adeptness. Don't expect little Sam Woods to be happy in frilly dresses... and mom and dad may not have to invest in too many dolls. Sam Alexis Woods will be called upon all through life to push herself beyond any and all physical limitations, breaking records and surpassing the performances of those who have come before her. As parents, Tiger and Elin will have the job of encouraging their daughter in independent action and step by step growth. This name for a child with any other set of parents, would likely be problematical.... but for the daughter of Tiger Woods, it could well be an integral ingredient to future destiny!

Taylor Thomas Hasselbeck
What's in "View" for the newest Hasselbeck? Born on November 9th, 2007, this litttle guy is a Scorpio, and that means he will want to dig deeply into life with above average introspective abilities. His Inner Potential Number is a 2, adding qualities of sensitivity and diplomacy. And his day of birth number keys him into generosity and a penchant to inspire others. The first name Taylor, stirs large amounts of independence and a desire to be introspective and self-sufficient. And his full name adds large amounts of emotional adrenaline into the mix. Here's an example of a name blend that would benefit from a nickname. Elizabeth and Tim would do well to consider using either Tae or Taye on a regular basis when addressing their son. Both of these nicknames will accommodate communication and eliminate tendencies toward extreme stubbornness and hyperactivity.

Max Liron Bratman
When Christina Aguilera gave birth to her son on January 12th, the name that went on the birth certificate was Max Liron Bratman. For both celebs and everyday parents, the name Max is becoming more and more popular. Most likely there is appeal in the shortness of the name, and the warm quality that comes in using a formal name that sounds like a nickname. What's in store for this little Max? There will be great people skills present, and a wonderful sense of timing... which means it won't be long before this little guy will be dance, dance, dancing! And his full name will add big doses of charisma and magnetic attraction. The only little glitch in the works is the middle name Liron. When added to the full name, this middle name slows life down to a crawl. Wee Mr. Bratman should consider leaving his middle name out of the mix. (And just for the record, the spelling "Maxx" can be a great choice for parents that want to encourage sports ability or financial acumen in their child... good job to Scott Hamilton in picking that spelling for his new son!)

Max and Emme have arrived!
Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony welcomed their new son and daughter on February 22nd, and decided on names that are plain and simple. So is plain and simple a good thing? In this instance, an interesting dynamic is in play, since the name Emme carries the very same subliminal frequency as the name Jennifer. That means Mom and daughter will share a lot in common... for better or worse. On the other hand, the name Max will create a sensitive yet stubborn personality, and someone who may find it tough to establish healthy boundaries in life. With this set of twins, the girl will take the dominant role. Equal strength could have been provided for both babies in opting for double consonants all around. Maxx is a real confidence builder. Maybe the Anthonys will give their little guy the gift of an extra "x" later in life!
