Gwen Stefani and husband Gavin Rossdale recently welcomed a baby boy and named him Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale.

With an unusual named like Zuma Nesta Rock, there must be some meaning behind it.

Apparently Gwen and Gavin chose Zuma as the first name after their favorite Malibu beach, in which they love to bring their other son, Kingston to play.

Nesta, the middle name, was in fact Bob Marley’s real first name, although he traded it as his middle name. Gwen and Gavin’s first son Kingston was named after Marley’s Jamaican hometown so it seems the reggae legend is an important source of inspiration for the couple.

As for Rock, the reason isn’t entirely clear, but it may be derived from Rocksteady, a musical genre that was popular in Jamaica in the 60s, supplanting ska and eventually giving way to reggae - also the title of one of No Doubt’s albums.

Lesson: If you’re going to give your baby an unusual name they have to live with, make sure there is a meaning behind it!

Gwen Stefani and husband Gavin Rossdale welcomed a little boy on August 21st, named Zuma Nesta Rock - what a name! Gwen gave birth after checking into Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles. Zuma weighed in at 8.5 lbs.

This is Gwen and Gavin’s second son, the couple have a 2 year old son, Kingston.

Zuma Nesta Rock is definitely one of the most unusual names of the year, Nesta is a reference to the late Bob Marley.

Gwen and Gavin released the following statement today, “Mother, baby and family are all happy and healthy.”

Congratulations!

Gwen Stefani is just days away from giving birth to her second child, and her style has never been more chic. Throughout her pregnancy Gwen’s mostly worn black and white pieces, and experimented with checks, strips, and all different patterns.

Gwen has also enjoyed this Summer’s trend of long flowing dresses, which show off her ample chest, and delicately covers her belly.

People Magazine has put together a gallery of Gwen’s maternity chic style. See her looks from the begining to the 9th month…
