The Pitch Perfect and Hunger Games actress welcomed baby #2, son Magnus Mitchell via gestational surrogate with husband Max Handelman!

Elizabeth announced the news on her website today:

“As 2012 winds down and Thanksgiving approaches, I have much for which to be thankful – personal, professional, and Presidential. However, nothing can match the joy and excitement my husband and I felt when we recently welcomed our second baby boy, Magnus Mitchell Handelman.

This experience has exceeded all expectations, taught us a great deal about generosity and gratitude, and established a relationship that will last a lifetime. . . . I now turn my attention to managing two boys under two. For which I am thankful. And all their poop. For which I am less thankful. Wish me luck.”

Magnus joins older brother Felix, who was born in March 2011, also via gestational surrogate. Elizabeth and Max have been married since 2003.

Congrats to the happy couple!

Celebs We’d Hire to Babysit

Two Under Two Message Board

Movies, TV shows, boy bands — you never know what’s going to inspire the hottest new baby names. We predict these unusual monikers will move up the baby name charts because of their pop culture ties.

Arya

We think this Persian name will experience a huge jump in popularity thanks to Game of Thrones. On the show, the character Arya is a daughter of a ruler and was raised as a boy (and sword fighter!) when she was separated from her family. Arya means “friend” and “faithful.” (Pretty, huh?)

Blue

Beyoncé and Jay-Z caused quite a stir when they chose this name for their baby girl, but the color trend has been going strong with celebs for a while. Kelly Preston and John Travolta have a daughter Ella Bleu and Alicia Silverstone and Christopher Jarecki named their son Bear Blu.

Niall

Pronounced like Nile, this Irish name (it means “cloud”) is experiencing an increase in searches due to blond heartthrob and singer Niall Horan of boy band One Direction.

Gatsby

We think surname of the main character of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel is sure to rise in popularity when the film debuts at Christmas. It definitely will help that Jay Gatsby will be played by everyone’s favorite leading man, Leonardo DiCaprio.

Halcyon

Crazy, Stupid, Love actress Beth Littleford adopted a baby girl in March and named her Halcyon. The name is derived from Halcyone, a mythical kingfisher bird that calmed the seas.

Django

This is the title character of Quentin Tarantino’s next movie about Django Reinhardt, a Belgian jazz guitarist who adopted the Gypsy nickname meaning “I awake.”

Sybil

People are starting to forget all about the ‘70s movie Sybil, where the title character (played by Sally Field) has multiple personality disorder and instead are getting inspired by kindhearted nurse Sybil Crawley of Downton Abbey, bringing back this ancient Greek name.

Rue

The Hunger Games are everywhere, especially when it comes to baby names. Rue used her survival skills to befriend Katniss in the Games. Name your daughter after this clever tribute, and she’ll be the talk of the playground.

Grayson

This English name means “son of the grey-haired one.” The Grayson family on ABC’s Revenge is the inspiration for this unique boy’s name. But there are plenty of other Graysons in pop culture, such as the bachelor-turned-family man Josh Hopkins plays on Cougartown.

Primrose

Forget Lily or Rose. Instead, try this (yes, another) nod to The Hunger Games. Primrose was chosen as a tribute, but older sister Katniss volunteered to save her sweet-natured sister.

The Craziest Celebrity Baby Names of All Time

Last Tuesday we hosted our second Bring Your Baby Matinee at AMC theaters around the country. Moms got to bring their babies to a showing of The Hunger Games in a baby-friendly atmosphere — that means the volume’s lower, the lights aren’t completely dimmed, there’s stroller parking, breastfeeding is allowed and no one will get mad if your baby’s crying! Take a look at some pictures from the event and join us next month for a screening of The Lucky One on May 1st. Get more info here. Photos by Andrea Fischman

Get some name ideas from the hot book turned movie The Hunger Games. May the odds be ever in your favor when it comes to picking one out!

Baby Girl Names Inspired by The Hunger Games

Katniss: The book series’ heroine is totally kick-butt and would do anything for her family — including taking her younger sister’s place as tribute (or player) in the Hunger Games, a competition in which kids from different districts are pitted against each other to fight to the death. Pick this name for a strong (and determined!) baby girl.

Rue: Rue is a tribute whom Katniss befriends while competing in the Games. She’s small and slight, but she’s also clever. Although Rue means “regret,” it’s also the name of an herb with healing powers.

Primrose: Primrose is the name of Katniss’s little sister. It’s very nature-oriented and sounds sweet and demure.

Effie: Effie has been around for a while — it’s a popular Greek nickname. The character in the books is Katniss and Peeta’s chaperone during the competition, so she’s very punctual and cares a lot about appearances. We’re thinking it might be a good alternative to the super-popular name Ellie.

Glimmer: This is the name of another tribute in the competition — it’s pretty flashy, so choose this if you’re looking for something dramatic.

Baby Boy Names Inspired by The Hunger Games

Peeta: One of Katniss’s love interests and fellow tribute in the Games, Peeta is a sensitive soul, but he’s also very individualistic. He once said about the Games, “I just want to show them that they don’t own me.” Peeta’s a smart cookie, but he’s also humble at the same time. It’s fitting for a baby who’s quiet and unassuming, but super-intelligent and kind.

Gale: Katniss’s best friend, Gale is strong and reactive. He’s devoted to and protective of the people he loves, namely Katniss. Gale would be a good name for a tough baby who’s dedicated to his family and friends.

Haymitch: This one sounds a little kooky, but that’s because his namesake is pretty crazy in the books! Haymitch is Katniss and Peeta’s mentor during the competition. If you name your baby Haymitch, you can call him “Mitch” for short.

Cato: Cato is a tribute who’s brash, confident and daring. It’s the perfect name for a larger-than-life personality.

Cinna: Cinna is actually a boy — he’s Katniss’s stylist. The character has a flair for style — so this name is pretty chic.

Are you going to see the movie? Would you ever give your baby a Hunger Games-inspired name?
