It's the first child for the Clueless star, 34, and her husband Christopher Jarecki.

"My husband and I welcomed our 7 lb 15 oz baby boy Bear Blu Jarecki into the world on May 5 at 7:50 a.m. We are all three in love," she wrote. "I'm so grateful to this community for all the love, support, good wishes and happy vibes you've sent me during my pregnancy... it has been wonderful. Thank you all!"

Silverstone's rep confirmed her pregnancy to Us back in January. She and rocker Jarecki, 40, tied the knot in June 2005.

Like fellow first-time mother Natalie Portman, Silverstone is a strict vegan and recently penned the book The Kind Diet. She's long credited her meat and dairy-free lifestyle with improving her health.

"I haven't been to a doctor in 13 years," she told Us last year. "I don't have to worry about calories, I don't have to worry about how I look because I know that what I do makes me look my best."

    Well, Alicia loves dogs, maybe she named her baby after a deceased pet. Just kidding! These celebs need to think "classy" not "which name will get my kid beat up the fastest?"

    Bear Blu is like Bear in the Big Blue House or Blue in Blues Clues.Anyway,Alicia will make a perfect Princess Catherine if one has to play that role in a movie.

    Of all the cool sounding boy names, and they pick "Bear" It may be cute for baby, but as an adult, the name may sound dorky.

    Friday was the 6th, Us. Looks like she had him on Thursday. Congrats to Alicia and Chris. They'll make amazing parents. :)

    Congrats to Alicia and her husband on the arrival of their baby boy but the name SUCKS!!! Just saying!! I feel bad for that poor boy!!!

    That baby is going to be mad at his parents for that stupid name. Would she want to be named Racoon or Weasel?

  • May 09, 2011 - 8:19pm Jessica Rikard Branham

    These people need to invest some of that money into a baby name book. I could handle Blu but Bear. Come on really.

  • May 09, 2011 - 7:56pm Olivia Sallows

    OMG is right that is not a good name.

  • May 09, 2011 - 7:51pm Laurie Griffith

    It's NOT a good thing to not go to a Dr for 13 years, regardless of how you take care of yourself! What's wrong w/people?

  • May 09, 2011 - 7:32pm John D

    WTF??? Naming the poor kid Bear. What is with has-been actors that saddle their poor kids with the goofiest of names.

  • May 09, 2011 - 7:19pm Tracy Nichol

    OMG that poor kid having to grow up with a name like that. What is with these celebs and their corny names for their kids.
