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."

LATEST: BEYONCE KNOWLES and rapper SHAWN ‘JAY-Z’ CARTER have confirmed their marriage by filing their wedding licence in Scarsdale, New York.
The superstar couple, who began dating in 2002, was widely reported to have exchanged nuptials on 4 April (08), but neither star has yet to publicly acknowledge they are man and wife - even refusing to wear wedding rings when out in public.
However, People.com reveal the newlyweds have now sent in their signed licence, which lists the wedding date as 4 April, to the Scarsdale Town office - albeit more than a week after the 9 April (08) deadline.

Pop superstar MARIAH CAREY has likened her failed marriage to music mogul TOMMY MOTTOLA to a "kidnapping", insisting she was trapped in a doomed relationship.
The Hero hitmaker wed Mottola - the former Sony label boss credited with discovering her - in 1993, but the couple split four years later and divorced in 1998.
And Carey, who was 23 when the pair wed, admits the marriage was one of her biggest mistakes.
She says, "I think one of my mistakes was getting married so young. I got married to Tommy Mottola under a lot of pressure.
"I don’t know how you would describe my marriage. It was a kidnapping in a golden cage."

British actress IMELDA STAUNTON knew she wouldn’t win an Oscar for her role in 2004’s VERA DRAKE - because the abortion storyline was too harrowing for the American audience to bear.
The 52-year-old scored a Best Actress nomination at the 2005 Academy Awards for her starring role in the crime drama, but the honour eventually went to Hilary Swank for her performance in Million Dollar Baby.
But Staunton isn’t bitter about losing out on the Oscar, because she understands the gritty subject matter would not have sat well with the Academy, in a country where abortion is still a controversial issue.
She explains, "I went (to the awards ceremony) knowing I wouldn’t win. They were hardly going to give an Oscar to someone who plays an abortionist, not in the States." And she admits simply being able to experience the fanfare of such a prestigious event made the trip worthwhile.
She adds, "Still, it was wonderful to be there. They know how to treat you well in Hollywood. But luckily I had my head screwed on, so rather than going, ‘Ooh, I’m going to stay here’, I thought, ‘I’ve had my fun. I can go back to England now.’"

GEMMA ARTERTON and MACKENZIE CROOK were so nervous about filming sex scenes together for their new movie THREE AND OUT, they chain-smoked throughout the shoot to calm their anxieties.
The 22-year-old actress admits she turned to nicotine to help her get through the harrowing experience.

STAR WARS actress NATALIE PORTMAN has been named the most eco-friendly star, after topping a list of celebrities who go out of their way to care for the planet.
The Hollywood beauty won a special mention by campaigners at green website Grist.org - who praised her work to save gorillas in Rwanda, her role as the face of a low-energy lightbulb company and the launch of her vegan shoe range.
Other stars to be honoured by the planet-friendly firm include Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt.
However, organisers singled out a handful of A-listers as particularly non-environmentally friendly.
The worst offenders were named as David Beckham, for the amount of flights he takes annually; British model Elizabeth Hurley, for flying 250 guests to her 2007 wedding in India, and the Spice Girls, for their use of private jets.

LATEST: The alleged drunk driver who ploughed her car into actress SANDRA BULLOCK’s vehicle on Friday night (18Apr08) has pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence (DUI).
Bullock and her husband Jesse James were being driven home in a private vehicle in Gloucester, Massachusetts, at around 9.50pm when they were struck head-on by a grey Subaru station wagon.
The Subaru is reported to have switched lanes and smashed into the front of Bullock’s car.
The driver of the Subaru, 64-year-old Lucille Gatchell, was arrested after failing a sobriety test, when she was reportedly two-and-a-half times over the legal limit.
She was arraigned in a Massachusetts District Court on Tuesday (22Apr08), where she faced a charge of DUI and a marked lanes violation, reports People.com.
At the court hearing, Gatchell used the opportunity to express her thanks to the couple for checking on her after the incident.
Her defence attorney Benjamin Richard says, "Miss Gatchell is very relieved that no one was injured. She also wants to express her gratitude to Ms. Bullock and Mr. James for what she understands was their concern for her well being after the accident." Gatchell is next due in court on 6 June (08) for a pre-trial hearing.

SMASHING PUMPKINS have reassured fans they have no plans to quit - despite revealing they have recorded their last album.
In a recent interview, drummer Jimmy Chamberlain suggested the band’s 2007 comeback album Zeigeist would be their last.
After fans’ desperate protests, Chamberlain has spoken out again, to insist the band would carry on performing and recording - they just wouldn’t release anything in an album format.
Chamberlain says, "The Smashing Pumpkins, will continue to write, record, release, and perform as long as we are able. Some of you may have read bits of an interview that was done in confidence by yours truly, in which I say that the Pumpkins probably won’t record CDs anymore.
"What I meant by this is this: although we may not use the ‘album’ or ‘full length CD’ as a format anymore, we will write and record music until we are dead."

NAOMI CAMPBELL has undergone therapy to help her control her fiery temper, insisting she is now a calm person.
The supermodel insists her recent London arrest for assaulting a police officer during a luggage row onboard a flight was uncharacteristic - because she actually finds air travel peaceful and relaxing.
She says, "I travel a lot. I love travelling. It’s peaceful in the air.
Nobody can get me there.
"What has been written about me is out of the hemisphere. Just wrong. I don’t care if they call me a bitch. A bitch is someone defending their rights. I’m a fighter.
"I’ve learned to meditate, to give myself some breaks during the day. I’ve rediscovered my good humour." Campbell’s claim comes on the back of a long history of temper tantrums.
Just last year (07) she was sentenced to community service at New York’s sanitation department after she was convicted of assaulting her maid with her Blackberry cell phone.

Eco-friendly actor EDWARD NORTON celebrated Earth Day on Tuesday (22Apr08) by encouraging the movie industry to be more green.
Norton, the son of a green activist, insists the entertainment community has set a good example by embracing environmentally-friendly practices.
But he wants Hollywood to do more.
He says, "I think the studios are doing their part. Not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because it’s cost effective. They need to look at the way films get made. There’s a lot of waste in the way we make films." The Fight Club star narrates environmental series Strange Days on Planet Earth, which airs on U.S. TV network PBS on Tuesday evening.
