Jessica Simpon and fiancé Eric Johnson's baby on the way is a little girl! Jessica told Elle Magazine about her fears, "I swear, I will croak is she asks me for a pair of Nikes instead of Christian Louboutins! Eric is so athletic. We're gonna have this athletic girl and I won't even be able to take her shopping, 'cause all she's gonna want is sports bras and Nikes!"

Perhaps she'd better put those worries on the back burner and prepare for the delivery, since her ob/gyn thinks that 5 ft. 2.5/ 1.59 m. Jessica will be delivering a 10 lb./ 4,5 kg baby girl. Jess is hoping for a lighter one, saying, "I was only six pounds. So maybe Eric and I can meet in the middle."

On a more joyful note, Jess and Eric have already chosen a name for their daughter. She doesn't reveal it, but says it nontraditional. "It's nothing shocking and nothing you'll have to add to the dictionary. Still, when people hear it, they'll know ... why." So let the guessing game begin! What do you think could their daughter's name be? Jesic? Ersica? Lemon Verbena?
