News Round-Up June 24: Baby Names, Pink Vs the Paparazzi and Family Bed Confessions

What we’re reading today:

1. New mom Pink wrote an excellent rant on her site directed towards the paps who are stalking her family. They’ve got a new family photo shoot in People because she and husband Carey Hart want to be able to control the media’s access to their daughter. “We are so appreciative that people are interested in seeing our daughter. We WANT to share our joys with you, but as parents (and new parents), we should be able to govern these decisions, shouldn’t we?” Yes.

2. So we all know a bunch of Emma and Sarahs and Julias, right? All those Victorian names that started really coming back into fashion a couple decades ago are now on their way down again. Also on the list of names trending down are Grace and Ella, but we thought those names only super took off in the last five-10 years? The New York Times article suggests perhaps the lack of Jane Austen movies in theatres these days has something to do with it. (So bring on Pride and Prejudice and Zombies! The world needs more Elizabeths!)
