ICYMI, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale yesterday welcomed their second son, Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale. It's a little out there, but supposedly they took the first name from the beach in Malibu where Gavin had a life-changing moment. Nesta is the original first name of Bob Marley, and Rock pretty much speaks for itself. Even if you're not loving it right now, do you think you'll warm up to the name Zuma?

At first my thought was: Okay?, but now I kinda like it
1I think it's a little sad for the child when parents give them weird names almost just for the sake of being different and unique. I mean, they honestly were in the hospital and said "Zuma Nesta Rock ... yeah, that has a nice ring to it."
2I think 'maybe' but for now all I keep thinking is "Zima Nestea"
3I won't warm up to that, but I admire Gwen for her originality. He'll be the first guy with that name and that will probably help him have a stronger personality.
Luv ya Gwen!! xo, Nicholette
4i'm sorry but no.. i's just.. no, i really don't like it.
5i'm sure the kid will be adorable and a cute addition to my fav celeb fam... but i'm not sure the name will ever grow on me!
6To me, it sounds like some tall mountain in the middle of nowhere... Mt. Zuma Nesta Rock...
7wow! super different. but it's better than pilot inspektor
8I hate the name. I just imagine a little kid in school, having to respond to "Zuma" for attendance check... ugh.
9LOL RosaDilia (he will definitely get picked on for his name)
10It's cool. Stars always come up with something different. I wish my name was different, unlike thousands of other people. Why not? Think of some other celebrity kid names!
11I feel sorry for the kid. I guess Nesta is for Bob Marley and I knew that Zuma is the beach. Gwen is from Orange County which is surfing country. Maybe they'll give him a nickname that's better.
12Maybe...I think the name would've suited a girl a little bit better. Of course, they don't have a choice in the gender of their child, but I think they could've chosen a different name. Zuma might grow on me, Nesta is alright because it honors Bob Marley, but Rock is just ridiculous.
P.S. On another note, I don't Gwen & Gavin would've picked "Marley" as a middle name because that it is Zahara's middle name and they are good friends with the Jolie-Pitts.
13I don't know why, but I feel like that name would fit better on a girl...
14Zuma: It reminds me a bit of Uma Thurman (very feminine to me). It reminds me of the name Xenu (Zuma sounds perfect for an alien's name).
Nesta: reminds me of NESTLÉ.
15I'd like it more if the baby was a girl, but it doesn't really bother me as much as other baby names. It doesn't seem like the name was made different just to be different. There was actually thought behind the name.
16it reminds me of sumo
17instead of naming him after a beach, maybe they should've named him after one of their fathers
it's just a little too ridiculous of a name
18well we all warmed up to Suri...so i think we will get used to it....and im sure it wont be the craziest.
19Nesta is Bob's middle name not his first name... Robert Nesta Marley.. They(Gavin and Gwen) both love reggae music and Jamaica hence the name Kingtson for their first son. Now Zuma? different yes...but don't think it should be for a boy..hopefully they will call him Nesta!!!
20All celebritoes finds ways to give meanings to the ridiculous names they give their kids. Really, most of the celebrity baby names I would normally give to my pets.
21I see it and immediately start singing the theme song to the children's show on PBS "Zoom".
22♪Come on and zoom, come on and zoom, come on and zooma zooma zooma zooma zoom♪
'''celebrities'' not toes
23Zuma sounds more like a girls name then a boy. Can you imagine when he's 35 years old? Unless he becomes a rockstar or something. Don't like it and probably never will. But to each his own, I guess.
24I wonder if they boinked on the beach thus conceiving little Zuma?
25that's up there with 'HONOR' cause i'm honored to have your child. really - that's just wrong!
26I already knew a girl named Honor. It doesn't sound like a such bad name to me.
27No...
28so what if he's not a singer or an actor, what if he decides to be a doctor or top executive?
Ladies and gentlemen would you please turn your attention now to....Zuma?
29no, which i'm sure will have the family very upset, lol. there must be some kind of inside celeb competition on naming your child, where the cool kids all have weirdo names. honestly, it sounds like a good name for a puppy.
30I keep thinking of the Numa Numa guy.
31desertkow,
as per Wikipedia:
32"Bob Marley was born in the small village of Nine Mile in Saint Ann Parish, Jamaica as Nesta Robert Marley. A Jamaican passport official would later swap his first and middle names."
sounds like Montezuma's Revenge.... ugh.
33I think it'll grow on me
34What's really sad is he has to jacked up middle names as well so you can't even use those names, so no probably will not warm up to it sounds like zaboomafoo that monkey on pbs
35Well what did you WANT her to do? Moon Unit and Dweezil were already taken!
36Zuma, Zuma, Zinga, Zing Ahhh. Just like The spice girls song!
37It'll be like Zowie Bowie and the minute he's old enough to change it, poor Zuma will.
btw, the worst celebrity baby name is still Peanut Rademacher - come on, General Hospital actors totally count as celebrities!
38I answered NOO!
39Robert Nesta Marley. Did you just decide to rename him Nesta Marley?
40I think of that terrible drink "Zima"and Nestle. They should have given the kid at least one normal middle name so he could use that, but all the names are bad!
41Sorry, it doesn't work for me, at all!
42The worst name for me is Pilot Inspektor.
43People didn't like Kingston, Shiloh, or Knox and people are warming up to it. It's alright but I don't like it yet.
44I really do not like that name!
45My first thought was: "What a weird name...isn't that a Neil Young album??"
Poor kid. He'll sit around with Dweezil and Moon Unit one day and talk about how they all got screwed.
46It sounds like something you'd name a dog. The poor kid doesn't even have a decent middle name to go by.
47It sounds like an african country...
48why should i care about the name growing on me...its not my child...
49It is still better than Plot Inspector,poor thing we'll just be teased in school or go by Nesta.
