Nicole Richie & Joel Madden welcomed their daughter Harlow Winter into this world.  Now only weeks later, they’re welcoming their first public spat as parents.

Reportedly the dispute is over the issue of who will be Harlow’s godmother.  The Simple Life starlet is pulling for Miss Hilton to fill the role, while the Good Charlotte rocker has his hopes set on Sophie Monk, his twin brother Benji’s fiancé.

And they’re in a deadlock over the issue.  According to a source, “Joel doesn’t think Paris is up to the task … He’s lobbying for Sophie.”

What parent would want their little girl to go to Paris for advice???
