As music business mogul Simon Cowell prepares for fatherhood, Radar Online reports that he and girlfriend Lauren Silverman has some ideas on what his baby should be named, and if you know anything about Cowell, you may not be too surprised.
“It shouldn’t come as a shock, but Simon and Lauren really seem to be planning to name their son Simon! There were baby clothes and little games all personalized with the name ‘Simon’ for the baby," an insider who attended Silverman's Sunday baby shower that told the gossip site. “From what everyone — including Lauren — was saying, they are 100 percent naming their son Simon. Initials for baby Simon were everywhere.”
The 54-year-old television personality put together the English tea-themed shower specially for his girlfriend at his Beverly Hills, Calif. mansion, though he reportedly was not in attendance.
Several weeks ago on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," Cowell joked that his first choice for his son's name is Simon, though it appears as though the self-loving Brit was being serious after all.
"I quite like the idea of talking to someone else named Simon," he told DeGeneres, adding, "I've had a lucky life so I'd like the same for him."
The baby boy is due in February and will be the first child of Cowell's and Silverman's.
