Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale are planning on giving their unborn baby an unusual name - so the tot will fit in with big brother Kingston.

Stefani - who is currently pregnant with the couple’s second child - gave birth to Kingston James in 2006, naming him after the capital city of Jamaica.

And the parents are having difficulties thinking of a suitable name for the new baby.
Rossdale insists they would prefer something more traditional, but both feel they should opt for a more unusual moniker to fit with their eldest offspring.

He says, “There are some names floating around the house. We don’t want anything too crazy, but compared to a name like Kingston, there’s so much pressure on the poor guy or poor girl. Kingston set a pretty intense standard.”

They haven’t said yet what the name is going to be….any guesses???

Don’t expect Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale to be stocking up on baby items in pink or blue just yet. The couple, who are expecting their second child, will find out if they’re getting a boy or a girl on delivery day, Rossdale said Wednesday.

“We don’t know [the baby’s gender]. It was a surprise last time so we’re kind of working on that this time,” he told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show. “There are some [names] floating around the house, bouncing around the walls.”

But will the new baby’s name measure up to his brother’s? “Not too crazy,” said Rossdale, 42, who added that compared to a name like Kingston, “there’s so much pressure on the poor guy or poor girl. Kingston set a pretty intense standard!”

The big brother-to-be, who turns 2 next month, has also been entertaining his parents with his growing vocabulary. “He speaks now,” said Rossdale. “It’s pretty cute. He’s got a funny way of saying things and a funny voice. He’s pretty vocal.”

Stefani, 38, has described her son as a “chilled-out little guy … he’s super-cute and super-entertaining.”

Though the legendary Chateau Marmont Hotel is rarely referred to as a family-friendly place, it was the perfect setting for Hollywood stylist Andrea Lieberman’s Marie Antoinette-themed baby shower. Nicole Richie, Ellen Pompeo and Gwen Stefani were among the glam guests who gathered inside the hotel’s Bungalow 1 for afternoon tea, hosted by Margaret Maldonado and jeweler Mouawad. “Andrea is like a New York version of me, but way cooler and more talented,” said California girl Stefani (in Diane von Furstenberg). “The fact that we’re pregnant at the same time is such a gift.”

Mother-to-be Gwen Stefani has revealed that she is struggling to pen songs for her upcoming reunion with her No Doubt band mates.

“It’s great to be back together, but songwriting’s a bit slow on my part - it may have something to do with the baby,” the Mirror quotes her as saying.

However, she revealed that she is excited to be back working with the band saying that it is “great to be home with all my boys” on the band’s official website.

The last time Gwen recorded with No Doubt was in 2003 and she has spent recent years working on her solo career and collaborating with a host of musical influences including Linda Perry and Andre 3000.

“We’ve got a few [names] we’re mulling over, but nothing’s decided yet,” Rossdale, 38, told Usmagazine.com at the Desert Smash Celebrity Pro Am Tennis Tournament in Palm Springs, California, on Tuesday.

“We’re both very excited!” he told Us of expecting a second child (son Kingston — one of Us’ babies of the year — was born in 2006).

Rossdale also weighed in on the ongoing Britney Spears saga.

He said he is glad the singer has reunited with her boys.

“Mothers and children should be together,” Rossdale told Us.
