Instantly famous baby!

After days of deliberation, Kate Hudson and fiance Matt Bellamy have named their baby boy! The little guy's name is Bingham "Bing" Hawn Bellamy.

"So happy! Just had a baby boy, Bingham 'Bing' Hawn Bellamy," the British Muse rocker, 33, tweeted on Wednesday. "Mum and baby are strong and healthy. Mum was a warrior, Bing popped out after 4.5 hours of intense pushing!" An insider tells Us Weekly that the couple chose the name on Wednesday. Bingham was born on Saturday night in L.A., and weighed in at 7 lbs. 12 oz. It's the first child for Bellamy, and the second the Hudson. The 32 year-old actress has as 7-year-old son, Ryder, with ex-husband Chris Robinson.

Although "Hawn" is an homage to Hudson's mother Goldie Hawn, no word yet on the inspiration behind "Bingham" -- not typically a first name -- for the little one. Indie rocker Ryan Bingham heads up indie band The Dead Horses; archaeologist/explorer Hiram Bingham discovered ancient city Machu Picchu in Peru in 1908; there is also a Bingham County in the state of Idaho, and a town called Bingham in Michigan.

    Bingham does NOT go with Bellamy. Say that out loud. Together they sound horrible. Separate they sound okay. Your first name SHOULD sound good and GO with your last name.

    It's growing on me. I kind of like it.

    Nice ring to his name. Love it.

    I love it. some of your comments are cruel & so uncalled for. If you can't be nice, don't comment. Save your breath to cool your coffee.

    FYI Bingham is Bellamy's mom maiden name, and Bing is Kurt Russell's father's name.

    Another stupid name for a baby who has no say. Hopefully, they gave him a sensible middle name so he can switch someday. Actors have no sense when it comes to naming their babies and forget they will grow up and have to live with the embarrassment.

    Very Cute....

    Not a fan of Kate Hudson at all - thought she would name the baby something stupid. I LOVE the name Bing. Bing Crosby is my favorite singer. Bing is the coolest name I ever heard.

    If i am not mistaken Bing is or was the name of Kurt's dad. He was an actor.

    Bingham? Ok there...

    Kurt Russell, Kate sort of step Dad , father name was Bing. He was the deputy/ later sheriff on Bonanza.

    The name actually has a nice sound to it when combined with the last name of Bellamy!

    Leslie, how stupid was your comment. Anyway, It doesn't matter anymore what a persn is named, its the character each will develope in time. There's many people with strange name but have done significance in this world...things that do matter, and there's people with really nice names that have done hell of a lot of crap.....so either way, it's her choice...glad she and baby are doing well. That's all that matters here.

    At least it's a real name instead of those made-up misspelled monikers!

    I WONDER HOW SHE WOULD HAVE LIKED IT IF HER MOM HAD NAMED HER "HAWN GOLD HUDSON"????
