Did Jessica Simpson Just Reveal Her Baby’s Name… and Gender?

Okay, okay, only kidding — but seriously, this mama-to-be (for the second time!) cannot keep her mouth closed! Fortunately for us, though, Jess’s lack of a filter has made for some salaciously good headlines. Her latest slip up, though, might be my favorite.
It sounds like Jess and her fiancé Eric Johnson have settled on a name for their second child. A source revealed, “She’s told people she’s going to name the baby Ace!” And while I didn’t think I would love it — I totally do.
Ace is retro, funky and 100% vintage with a little edge. It reminds me of a heartthrob from the ’20s or ’50s, with a Cadillac and a flair for trouble. And I absolutely love that Ace is a total 180% from Maxwell Drew, who was named after family members on both Jess and Eric’s side. Jess even said of the name choice for baby Maxwell, “It’s nothing shocking and nothing you’ll have to add to the dictionary. Still, when people hear it they’ll know …why.” I love that they picked a family name for their first born, and I’m crossing my fingers that they stick with Ace for baby number 2!
Another reason I love the name Ace? I think it’s a huuugeeeeee hit that Jess is pregnant with a baby boy! And as much as I love seeing a mini-Jess in Maxwell Drew, I really would love to the threesome add a baby boy to the mix!
Do you like Jess and Eric’s name choice? Think she’s really having a boy?

You really think that Ace is a huge hint that shes having a boy? If you only knew that she named her child Maxwell Drew, and not the sex I am sure you would automatically say it was a boy. With her screwed up way of naming children I wouldn’t be surprised if poor little Ace is a girl too. I’m sorry but you cannot give your child a stupid name just because you are a celebrity. They still have to grow up and live with that awful crap!
Love the name even if it is a girl, not stupid at all. People are too darn harsh and judgmental.
Maxwell Drew is named after family from both sides. She and her fiance wanted to honor people who were important in their lives.
It’s not like she went with a fruit or something more ridiculous… Pilot Inspektor or Kel-El perhaps…
Yeah, this doesn’t tell us at ALL if it’s a boy or girl. Maybe Ace is a nickname as well. Maxwell Drew is a boy’s name, in my opinion, so it doesn’t tell me a thing.
I like the name! It’s not as crazy as other celebs have done…..but I agree that its not a clue to the sex…she did name her daughter Maxwell!!!!
