Congrats to The Office's Jenna Fischer -- our favorite TV receptionist ever gave birth to a baby girl! This is Jenna's second child -- she and screenwriter hubby Lee Kirk are parents to two-year-old boy Weston Lee. She waited until her third trimester to announce her pregnany AND kept the baby's gender a secret, but has recently revealed her little girl's name -- and it's one that is sure to help catapult her to fame as a famous writer one day!
The couple named their babyHarper Marie Kirk. I'm liking the whole first-name-as-a-last-name trend, as long as it isn't too silly AND fits with the baby's actual last name. And, although "Harper" is traditionally a last name, I immediately think of Harper Lee, the author of To Kill a Mockingbird. Okay, fine, her real name was Nelle Harper Lee, but whatever, we all knew her as "Harper," which is good enough, right?!
LOVE that Jenna and Kirk chose a super simple and classic middle name -- a family name, perhaps? -- to go along with Harper. It just flows so well and sounds both romantic and contemporary.
Victoria and David Beckham also named their little girl Harper, so Jenna isn't exactly breaking new ground here, but I'm betting her intention wasn't to be super trendy. The actress has a degree in theatre and journalism and I can't help but assume Lee inspired this pretty name. But who knows?
Anyway, in case you're wondering, Jenna is just like the rest of us and is freaking out a bit about the idea of raising two children -- which she admits everyone has told her is really like raising four kids.

My advice to her: get together with TV love John Krasinkski and his wife Emily Blunt, who gave birth to Hazel in February, and exchange babysitting duties pronto!
Do you like the name Harper Marie?
