Gwen Stefani and husband Gavin Rossdale have done it again - after first son Kingston, and second baby Zuma Nesta, they named the newest member of their rock and roll dynasty Apollo Bowie Flynn! We love Gwen's crazy cool baby names, and we admit, we're a little obsessed with her! How can you not be? She's been a style inspiration for over 20 years, from the early days of No Doubt, all the way through her solo career... and now her career as one of the hottest mamas on the planet!

So where'd they come up with this name, anyway? We have to give them props for creativity, there are barely any other celebs named Apollo. Of course, the American Olympian Apolo Anton Ohno, and Apollonia, the female star of Purple Rain (you know, that crazy 80s movie starring Prince!) Maybe Gwen named him after Apollo Creed from Rocky?
 

 
We're guessing they went with the classical meaning of the name. Apollo is known as the god of light and the sun, truth, poetry, and of course, music! We can't wait to see if any of their boys follow in Gwen and Gavin's musical (or style) footsteps. 

Can't get enough of celeb families?  Find tons of pics of rock & roll parents on our Pinterest board - here's one last one of Gwen with her oldest son Kingston!
