How do Tori Spelling and Jessica Alba's baby name choices stack up?
Alba, 26, gave birth to a girl this weekend in L.A. She and husband Cash Warren named her Honor Marie Warren.
"Honor is one of the Puritan Virtue names that has been making a comeback along with sisters Hope, Faith and Charity," Pamela Redmond Satran, coauthor of baby-naming guides Cool Names and The Baby Name Bible, tells Usmagazine.com.
"My guess is that Jessica Alba, going through life as one of several trendily-named 'Jessicas' in any room, was looking for a name that was both classic and unusual, and she made an excellent choice," Satran says.

Spelling, 35, gave birth to her second child, Stella Doreen McDermott, in L.A. Monday afternoon.
"Stella has been one of the hottest star baby names for over a decade now," Satran tells Us.
Other celebs, including Melanie Griffith, Elizabeth Shue and Dave Matthews, have named their daughters Stella, which means "star."
Says Satran, Stella "carries that Old Hollywood glamour so stylish with the new generation of celebrities."
