T HIS year’s baby bumps were fierce and plentiful. And the names, oh, the names.

1 Rumi and Sir Carter: All hail the new king and queen of the Bey Hive. Houston native Beyonce and husband JayZ introduced Blue Ivy’s younger brother and sister to the world this summer, and they are adorable. 2 Kenzo Kash Hart: Comedian Kevin Hart and wife Eniko Parrish welcomed their first child together, and Hart’s slew of Instagram posts of the babe, filled with loving poetry in his honor is perhaps the sweetest ode in of 2017.

3 Mabel Jane Grace: “That ’70s Show” alum Topher Grace and wife Ashley Hinshaw welcomed their first child, a daughter, named Mabel Grace this year.

4 Bella Raine Jeter: Derek Jeter and wife Hannah Davis topped last year’s list of celebrity weddings. And this year, the all-star athlete and model added to their gorgeous family by welcoming their first daughter, Bella Raine.

5 Bodhi Soleil Somerhalde­r:

“Twilight” star Nikki Reed and vampire husband Ian Somerhalde­r introduced their daughter, Bodhi Soleil, to the world this summer. No news yet on whether she sparkles in the sunlight.

6 Liam James Tell: If you thought Lauren

Conrad had it all already, prepare yourself for this overture. “The Hills” alum and her husband, lawyer William Tell, are now parents of a son, Liam James.

7 Alexander and Ella Clooney: Power couple Amal Clooney and husband George introduced their twins Alexander and Ella to the world this summer. “She looks like Amal, thank God,” George said of Ella, while Alexander is all appetite

and adorable rolls.

8 Sienna Princess Wilson: NFL star Russell Wilson and singer Ciara were very public about remaining abstinent until they married. But afterward, there was no time wasted. Their daughter, Sierra Princess, was born about nine months after their wedding.

9 Eugene Isaac: “Star Wars” hero Oscar Isaac became a firsttime dad this year when girlfriend Elvira Lind gave birth to their son, Eugene. May the force be with him. 10 Bear Payne: One Direction singer Liam Payne and girlfriend Cheryl Ann Tweedy, of Girls Aloud fame, welcomed a son in March. Rumor is they call him “Cub.”
