“It reminded me of the Johnny Cash song ‘A Boy Named Sue.’ My worry raising a son in Hollywood is what will he have to struggle for? I wanted to give him a name that he’s going to have to stand up for. I love it; I think it’s a beautiful name.”

—Joel Madden on why he and Nicole Richie named their son “Sparrow” to People. I have to say, I kind of love this explanation. What do you guys think? [The Hollywood Gossip]

Nicole Richie gave birth to a healthy baby boy this morning. She and boyfriend Joel Madden named the little tyke ... wait for it ... Sparrow James Midnight Madden. Now, Sparrow might have been cute for a little girl, but for a little boy? That s**t won’t fly (heehee) on the playground. Whatevs. Congrats! [DListed]
