Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott had a baby boy yesterday, and they named him:

Liam Aaron McDermott

Nice to honor her dad with the mn. I like Liam, too, but not so much with the ln.

WDYT?

at least it's an actual name

I like Liam, and it is Irish, which McDermott likely is too -the only glitch is the Liam ending in M and McDermott starting with M, so there's a run-together when saying the first and last name without the middle

I also like that she honored her dad, Aaron Spelling

I think in all it's a nice choice

I think that Liam McDermott sounds fine, but i don't like the combination Liam Aaron, it doesn't seem to flow very well.

Perfectly normal ... even popular. I do worry about the Ms with our similar Mc- ln though ... Tatum Mc-, Moira Mc- or Desmond Mc- (as well as Liam Mc-, in this case) always sound like a bit much to me.

I love it all around and find it overall refreshing that a celebrity not only gave thought to a real first name (using Liam with an Irish last name, that is) but also chose to honor a deceased parent. Good choice!

I couldn't agree more! It has increased my respect for Tori Spelling immensely.

Wow. Just read the actual announcement online (more than one, actually, because I figured the first was a typo), and Dean McDermott is calling his new son his second child, despite the fact that he and his ex-wife had a son AND a daughter prior to separating. I believe the little girl, Lola, was adopted, but I'm not positive. So what ... he doesn't consider her "his" anymore? That's pretty low, even for Hollywood.

Their taste in names may be fairly normal, but I find their apparent lack of family values less than tasteful, to say the least.

Anyone else notice this??

I did not notice that! How horrible! Didn't he and Tori also get together while his wife was still pregnant? Kind of low, even if they were separated already.
