Nicole Richie
Nicole Richie hasn't given birth yet but if she has a baby boy, she's planning on naming him after Michael Jackson.

A source tells Star magazine, "Nicole is devastated by Michael's death. She loved him and it happened so suddenly.

"She wasn't planning on naming the baby after him, but she thinks it's fitting now that he's gone."

What most people don't know is that Michael Jackson was Nicole's Godfather. Michael and Nicole's dad Lionel Richie were really close friends, so Nicole grew up to Michael being an uncle figure in her life.

Nicole and Joel had previously said that they were going to wait and be surprised about the sex of the baby, but if they have a boy, Michael it is!

It makes sense for her name her child after him. It does not make sense for the thousands of random people who have never met him to do the same, but you know they will.
