Pink Reveals Top Choice for Baby Name

When Pink announced on "Ellen" Nov. 17 that she was expecting a child, it didn't take long for the name game to begin.

The couple has chosen the name Jameson, and claim that their inspiration derives from a blend of family names (Pink's father is James, her brother is Jason, and Carey's middle name is Jason), as well as, of course, a love for the Irish whiskey.
