Why Nicole Richie and Joel Madden Named Their Daughter Harlow

Though Richie has said they initially couldn't agree on a name, they settled on Harlow Winter Kate Madden.

What does it mean?

"There's a huge trend, especially among young Hollywood, to honor Classic Hollywood with names," Pam Satran, co-author of The Baby Name Bible, tells Usmagazine.com.

She cites Reese Withersoon and Ryan Phillippe and Jason Priestley and Naomi Lowde naming their daughters Ava (Ava Gardner); Greg Kinnear and wife Helen Labdon naming their daughter Audrey (Audrey Hepburn) and Weeds' Kevin Nealon and wife Susan Yeagley naming their son Gable (Clark Gable).

Harlow is the last name of famous 1930s screen siren Jean Harlow.

Patricia Arquette and husband Thomas Jane named their daughter Harlow; Joely Fisher also used Harlow as a middle name for her daughter True.

Adds Satran, "Harlow is the coolest glamour girl name."
