Love her name to pieces. Such a great name and with her parents I expected nothing less. Love them as a couple and I cant wait to hear more about her.

Congrats to them! Another celebrity baby born on my birthday
And the name is so unique and cute!

Drea was great on the sopranos, one of my favorite characters. Congrats on the new baby girl. Not crazy about the name though, maybe she is a fan of the movie gypsy because in that movie the character is called gypsy rose. Only other baby named Alabama I heard of, is shanna and travis barker little girl.

I think the name is super cute. Probably not something I would use, but really cute nonetheless. It seems like a name they would pick.
And if I’m not mistaken, soap actor Brian Gaskill also has a daughter named Alabama.

The baby name totally fits them, I bet she’s a cutie too.
November 29th, 2007 at 5:45 pm
Ooh, I love her name. Alabama Jennings really works. Plus, it fits THEM, I think. I love her middle names, especially. Gyspy Rose… that’s so cute and fits them well. Anyway, thanks for sharing!

So I was right about the name!!
It’s really Alabama, I love it!
November 29th, 2007 at 6:20 pm
Congrats to them! Alabama isn’t something I’d choose, but it seems like it fits for them. Wonder what nicknames the baby will have–Al? Ally?
I saw them shopping at a store the Grove mall in Los Angeles a couple of months back and couldn’t help but notice that Shooter Jennings was being so sweet to Drea–rubbing her back, etc. Very cute.
Would love to see some pictures of the baby soon!

I agree that the name totally suits them and their family. Wouldn’t be a name I would choose for my child, but cute nonetheless.

I LOVE that name! What a unique and pretty name for a baby girl.
Congrats to Drea and Shooter! Welcome to the world, Alabama!
November 29th, 2007 at 7:15 pm
love the name totally suits the two of them..I wish all the luck and happiness in the world..Im a hugh fan of shooter
November 29th, 2007 at 7:28 pm
Love the name! My friends daughter is named Alabama – known to all as ‘Bama’
November 29th, 2007 at 8:31 pm
Congrats to them. The name fits them. Like someone else said..Not something I would use myself, but it is wicked cute. I would have left out the Alabama though and just had Gypsy Rose

Travis Barker and Shanna Moekler also named their daughter Alabama.
Wasn’t Gypsy Rose a stripper/burlesque artist from the WWI era?
Not crazy about the name but to each their own.
November 29th, 2007 at 10:35 pm
Aww, I’m so happy for them. As was said before, the name suits them well. Shooter’s dad would’ve been proud.
November 30th, 2007 at 12:11 am
Hey Steph, You sure you’d want your daughter to be named after the world’s most famous stripper?!! (Gypsy Rose Lee) It’s still a cute name, though…
November 30th, 2007 at 12:51 am
Suprisingly I really adore her name. It flows reallllllly nicely and seems like such a sweet name for a sweet girl. Congrats to them both and I hope they enjoy their little girl.

Just another odd baby name in a celebrity’s non-stop pursuit of being “OMG! So Unique!!!”
Alabama Gypsy Rose is a wretched combination of pairing an 80’s country band with the name of a notorious stripper.

Happy news! My favorite celebrity baby is born! I can’t wait for a picture
I wish grandpa Waylon was here, but I know he’s smiling in heaven!
November 30th, 2007 at 7:58 pm
A very pretty name, though not one that I would use.
December 1st, 2007 at 4:07 am
I am thinking it’s a name Shooter might envision on the marquee at the Grand Ole Opry someday: Alabama Gypsy Rose Jennings. There is this trend these days, like with Casey Affleck and Summer Phoenix naming their child Indiana. Oh well, I guess there are enough Brittany, Ashley and Madisons out there. Super congrats to the happy family.

I wish these celebs would take more thought before they name their kids. That is the tackiest name I’ve ever heard!!! These babies grow up to be adults, life is hard enough without having a name you would be ashamed of.
December 3rd, 2007 at 7:40 pm
Well, That certainly sounds like a Jennings type of name.
June 19th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
its a cool name:) not cool for people to be saying rude stuff.
