[Opinions] New celebrity baby!
Funny couple, Amy Poehler and Will Arnett welcomed their second son this morning. Abel James Arnett weighed in at 7 pounds, 13 ounces, and joins older brother Archie, born in October 2008.I'm actually really impressed with their naming style! Abel is great. It's not overly popular, but it's also not completely outrageous. I get the same feel from Archie. What do you think?http://www.popeater.com/2010/08/06/amy-poehler-gives-birth-abel-james-arnett/

Both children have nice first names. The only problem I have is that with the surname Arnett they are a bit too alliterative.

I'm pleasantly surprised. Abel isn't really my type of name, but I like it for someone else's kid. I think it goes well with Archie.

It's not my style, but there isn't anything wrong with the names I guess. Archie might be a little nicknamey for my taste, I tihnk I would have prefered Archer nn Archie, or even better, Archibald nn Archie.

I love Abel! James is cute but dull as a middle. Its definitely great for a celeb name though!

I like Abel James!Archie, not as much. I also really think siblings should each begin with a new first initial.

Archie was my grandpa's name, so I can only picture it on an old person. I do like that it's not popular, but not unheard of either.Abel James is nice. I wouldn't use Abel, but I like how it follows the Jonah/Noah/Jacob trend, without actually being too popular... so a kid with this name would fit in perfectly but still be the only Abel in his class, etc. James is a filler mn though.

Will's dad is James Arnett, so in this case James is honoring. Archie's middle names are also honoring.
