Actually it’s quite common to donate items when having a second baby shower. My daughter has somewhat of a unique middle name for the general American culture – Shoshanah. Although this may seem strange to some it’s actually a traditional Hebrew name meaning Rose or Flower. Sometimes certain name that may seem strange to us actually have a background. An example of this would be Beyonce. Her name may seem different/unique, but it’s actually her mother’s maiden name. Also these are Hollywood/showbiz kids. When they go to school with their different names their school/classmates will have different names also. In for your information Joaquin is not an odd name. It’s actually the Spanish form of Joachim (Hebrew), Jacob in English. He was named this because they were living in Puerto Rico at the time of his birth I believe. Also there are plenty of kids that were born during the late 60’s who have “Hippie” names and went to school with other kids with “Hippie” names.

There’s a difference between “unique”, “creative” and “pretentious.”

Props to Ali for knowing the difference.

She didn’t “call out” anyone in particular (that’s why that partis not in ” “), the writer of the article was the one who used Apple and Honor as examples.

Backlash like this is why some people don’t bother giving to charity anymore. Why not bother the people who sell pictures of their babies and then pocket the cash?

God bless Ali for having respect for her future baby by not naming them something 'original'(aka:stupid) like 'Apple' or 'Sunday'

I appreciate a mom who doesn't want her kid to be beaten up in the schoolyard.

you know... I think it is ridiculous that you all are making such a big deal about the fact that she donated things.. I know for a fact that the gifts she was opening was the gifts that were given to her.. she asked for the gifts her friends would bring to the shower to go to St. jude. She felt funny cause it was a 2nd shower and giving to st. jude is a great cause... they got lots of presents and both huggies and babyplus in the end were able to give over 5,500 to the hospital...

as for the gift bags... it might no the typical.. but these are companies that coudl not advertise necc. in other ways and they want celebs to have their product and hopefully buy more.. you would not be complaining if you got one... and you can win one life and style is giving one away.. and it is actually well worth over 2,000 they were just being modest!!!!!

The majority of us are not rich and when we go or have a baby shower, it is because we buy things for the baby. I have no intention of buying baby gifts that I personally select for the mothers in need and then have them donated to charity. Why bother having a baby shower if the mother doesn't need anything? I donate a lot of clothes and household goods to the needy that I don't need anymore and that is enough.

What charity organization receives all these new items and how are they distributed? I recall plain nighties and maybe an undershirt and light blanket but never anything fancy. If I bought something really special for a shower. I would want to know beforehand if the mother will keep it. Does Allison have enough baby girl stuff? Why bother with a shower, just donate to charity.

i resent that you didn't post my comment, i purposely wrote it in such a way to make it follow the rules, it wasn't harsh, it wasn't rude, it TOTALLY followed the rules... i think u guys were being a bit restrictive on this one...
