Singer Fergie and her husband, actor Josh Duhamel, recently welcomed a baby boy. They named him Axl Jack.
How did Fergie come up with the name Axl? Here’s what she told Ellen DeGeneres:
“I had this dream, and I was in the audience at the festival. It was outdoors and it was all grimy and nobody knew who I was,” the 38-year-old Black-Eyed Pea said. “On stage singing was Jim Morrison and then came Bob Marley and then Axl Rose. I was in heaven in this dream, and I’m dancing and just getting into the music.”
It was then that Fergie awoke, roused from her dream by the kick of her unborn son. (She and Duhamel welcomed Axl Jack into the world on Aug. 29.)
This immediately made me think of Easton August, daughter of actress Elisabeth Rohm. Easton’s name also came from a dream.
Here are the popularity graphs for Axl and Jack, if you want to see how these names are doing on the charts right now.
And, while we’re checking out graphs, here’s how Fergie — a Kids Incorporated alum, just like Martika — has influenced the name Fergie over the last few years.

I do feel bad for Easton August, that isnt even a unisex name, but 2 masculine names for a girl.
