Robert Downey Jr.'s Son Exton—Welcome to the Weird Celebrity Baby Names Club!
Donna Ward/Getty Images
We knew Robert Downey Jr. had it in him. We just weren't sure how far Susan Downey would let him go.
Considering we could only find "Exton"—the name the couple bestowed on the presumably adorable baby boy they welcomed today—in the Oxford Dictionary of British Place Names, it appears that Downey has gone with a regional theme when it comes to his sons, his eldest being Indio (the California town where the Coachella music festival takes place!).
"Devon. Exton (1242). 'Farmstead on the River Exe'. Celtic river-name + OE tūn," reads one of four entries for "Exton."
But we doubt Exton will have any trouble fitting in among his peers, especially if he's schooled in the Hollywood area. All his parents have done is given him a funny little name in a town full of funny little names.
And we've got a gallery pointing out the funniest—enjoy!

Robert Downey Jr. and his wife Susan Downey welcomed their first child together in Los Angeles this morning, E! News confirms. And while the Iron Man papa already spilled the beans on the sex of his latest offspring (it's a boy!) months ago, they kept the little tyke's name secret up until today.
So what's the talented tot been dubbed?

Movie Review: Expect More of a Schticky Bromance From Sherlock Holmes Than a Real Mystery
Warner Bros./Daniel Smith
Review in a Hurry: Since the first film jettisoned any hope of taking Holmes particularly seriously, it's easier to sit back and enjoy the breezy tone and bizarre bromance between Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) and Watson (Jude Law) in Guy Ritchie's less self-important sequel.

Robert Downey Jr. In Trouble With Wife For Revealing Sex of Baby?
Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic
It's a happy holiday season for Robert Downey Jr.
Not only is he celebrating the release of new flick Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, he announced earlier this week that he and wife Susan Downey are expecting a baby boy!
But did revealing the sex of their baby-to-be while chatting with Jay Leno on The Tonight Show get him in trouble with the missus?
Robert Downey Jr.'s Baby-to-Be: He's Having a…
Break out the cigars and the blue baby gear, because Robert Downey Jr. is having a boy!
"I am not permitted to discuss it," he at first told Jay Leno Monday when the Tonight Show host asked if the actor knew the sex of his child yet. "I keep dropping the ball everywhere. She'll say don't tell your cousins until...and then I tell 'em."
"I can't say a word...we're having a boy!"
And if mom-to-be Susan Downey wasn't thrilled at that spat-out proclamation, she'll be doubly unexcited by his next revelation.
EXCLUSIVE!
Robert Downey Jr.'s Sherlock Shocker: Dressing Up Like a Woman Was My Idea
It's no secret that Robert Downey Jr. dedicates himself to his craft.
In fact he dedicates himself so much that we shouldn't be surprised to hear that dressing up in drag for his role in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows was all his idea, as he tells E! News' own Kristina Guerrero.
So why did the A-lister make the call, and more importantly, what did he think about his appearance?
Bumpwatch Alert: Robert Downey Jr.'s Wife Shows Off Dangerous Curves
Flynet
Whoa, mama!
You don't have to be a modern-day Sherlock to deduct that Robert Downey Jr.'s wife's pregnancy is moving swiftly along—just take a look at the latest paparazzi pics to surface of the couple's Hawaiian vacation.
And rest assured, though RDJ isn't pictured, he was right alongside his wife, doting away.
Though the duo already know the gender (talk about a spoiler alert!) and have picked out a name for the impending stork delivery, the parents-to-be aren't spilling the beans just yet.
What we do know is that Susan is roughly six months into her first pregnancy—due sometime early next year—and that the mama-in-training is perfectly proud of her growing belly (as well she should be!), showing off her expanding baby bump in a stylish bikini. Way to make pregnancy look good.
Morning Mail: Is Brody Jenner the New Sean Penn?
Jason Merritt/Getty Images; Michael Caulfield/WireImage
Dear Ted:
Why does Brody Jenner keep getting into fights at bars? This time it was with GF Avril Lavigne, and last time it was with that Playboy chick. I really don't support violence in any way, but it seems a little fishy that he would get into multiple "unprovoked" fights like his rep says.
—Carrie
Dear Another Day, Another Brody Jenner Bar Fight:
Look, all I know is Brody's a pretty nice guy who sometimes hangs out with dudes (and gals) who aren't. Maybe he doesn't always have the best radar, but his intentions are usually cool. And Avril is actually quite a change from Adam's Playmate past, but yeah, pretty ironic both women ended up with same fisticuffs situation. If the cameras were only around, Brody would still have his reality show!
Dear Ted:
What has Lucretia Johnson been up to lately? Is she still with her loser man?

Weekend Mail! Lindsay Lohan Desperately Needs Our Love!
Dear Ted:
Sometimes I don't get where you are coming from. You're still rooting for Lindsay Lohan? Are you serious? Yes, the girl is a mess, but let's take a look at something here: She isn't particularly the nicest, honest, most hard-working actor out there. She lies. She steals. She's undependable, doesn't seem to believe she has a problem and seems to feel entitled to everything and owe nothing. I don't get where you still "love her" and all of the other crap you write about her. Bottom line: She's not a good person. And you still go on and on about her talent! So what? If someone doesn't want to help themselves, why are you even bothering?
—Mel
Dear Hard-Working Hater:
Did we ever say she was perfect? Nope, and far from it. But we do think she's a super-talented actress, and a brand-new role might be just the thing Linds needs to get back on track. And, of course, she's a spoiled-rotten celeb whose always blameless, but the point is to keep her away from Amy Winehouse's destiny, not push her closer toward it with our contempt.
Dear Ted:
My question is about those Blind Vice monikers you so cleverly coin. I think there is always a hint of the real identity within the name such as Ms. Morgan Mayhem, for example. Am I right about the B.V. monikers or do you just write down something that tickles your fancy but has no hint in it whatsoever? And do you leave us clues elsewhere in your B.V.s like in the list of who is not the B.V.?
—D
