Congratulations!! We’re absolutely loving the name!!

Hmmm. Not liking “Harlow” (makes me think of Gene Harlow). But the rest of the name is cool. Congrats you two crazy kids!!
Why would they leave right after Nicole gave birth??? Shouldn’t they be staying for at least 24 hours? I’m guessing she has a baby nurse but I personally wanted my babies monitored in the hospital for the first 24 hours.
i reckon they are saying the family is at home to avoid the paps later.
they should at least stay overnight!
Congrats to them. I really like the name.
I love the name. I can’t wait to see the baby.
I like the name, but I wonder why she didn’t give the baby her name? Like Harlow Kate Richie-Madden.
I’m iffy about the “Harlow” part too, but I love “Winter”– so appropriate :o).

Oh please winter is so effing stupid, and predictable. I hate when people do that to their kids, name them autumn, winter, summer, etc… at least it isn’t her first name.
That was MY babies name. well, would be when I have it! Harlow I just liked and Winter is my mom in laws middle name. What a skank.
I like the name…. it’s a hell of a lot better than Coco or *puke* Apple or *hurl* Moses….. In Canada, it’s not unusual to go home 18 hours after having a normal event-free delivery. C-sections are different - 3 days in the hospital. I went home after 2.
I thought they were having a boy.
I really like the name.
oh ya - I’m in Canada and I stayed 2 days (my choice) with all 3 babies after having terrific, uncomplicated (vaginal) deliveries
harlow(e) is patricia arquette’s daughter’s name. not very original if you ask me.
Krissa - you are very lucky! I’m in Western Canada…. a friend of mine, about 5 years ago had her baby and they kicked her out the very next morning because they short on beds. That’s waaaay too soon ifyou ask me. My grandma said back in her day they stayed a week!
I really love the name actually! I think Harlow is beautiful and yeah I’m not too fussed on Winter but its ok. I knew that Nicole wouldn’t name her baby something common. She will be great with a little girl I think. I can’t wait to see how she dresses the baby and whether it looks more like her or more like Joel. I’m sure OK will have it covered soon enough.
I love the name as well. I still can’t see these two loers as parents. I just can’t.
Awh, i’m pregnant right now and i hope for a little girl. I like the name Harlow; at least it’s not one of those retarded celeb baby names.
Its a cool name…..Im suprised! Though it could be worse as we all know.
I think Nicole will make a great mother…the baby daddy well-thats another story that we will have to wait and see.
CONGRATES!
Great. Another impressionable girl for her to screw up with body image issues…yeah for her!!!
I just hope Nicole gets some new friends. girl should NOT have Paris, Nicky, Mischa and Samantha Ronson as her adult influences.
uh… this site sucks!!!!!
aw my best friends name is harlow. i think the names adorable. and im so glad she gave birth to a girl! shes going to be beautiful. and nicoles going to be an amazing mother.
Harlow Winter Kate… I don’t like those names except for Kate. Now I hope that with her daughter, Nicole comes to her senses.
aww!! a girl!! i thought they said before they were having a boy…anywayz i love the name Harlow Winter…kate could of been left out lol…i wonder how Britney feels that Nicole RItchie would probably be a better mother that she is and that chick had a heroin addiction and was in rehab…she is looking up she is a C list celebrity that married a B list rock star..
i like the name they gave the baby. probably could do without kate… too long.
i can’t believe she already went home yesterday?
Well, I think the name Harlow Madden is cool. And I hope Nicole has changed during her pregnancy and will be a responsible loving and sober mom to her daughter. The same for Joel Madden though I dunno anything about him.
I DONT LIKE THOSE NAMES EXCEPT FOR KATE.
