Former member of the boy band 98 Degrees, Nick Lachey, and his now-wife Vanessa welcomed their first child on September 12, 2012, a baby boy they named Camden John Lachey. Another TV personality, Kristin Cavallari, beat them to the punch when she named her first son Camden Jack on August 8, 2012. What’s up with the name Camden all of a sudden, especially in the circles of quasi-celebrity? It’s the transferred use of an English surname meaning “valley of camps”. Surnames like Camden are modern and trendy rather than old-school and traditional.
