"It's kind of a funny story. I've always liked the name Colin. We thought that Colin would be the name. And John is my dad's name. But as we got further into it, I learned that Vanessa wasn't a big fan of the name Colin, so we started looking for another 'C' name... I said 'Hey, what about Camden?' We didn't really know anyone else named Camden. It was such a neat name. We fell in love with it and decided on it five or six months ago. He's not named after the city in New Jersey." -- Nick Lachey

Nick Lachey shares the story behind the name of his newborn son. Lachey and his wife, Vanessa Minnillo are both first time parents with the birth of their son, Camden. Born on Sept. 13 of this year, Camden John Lachey was named after Vanessa voiced her dislike for Nick's first choice. In this case, we're happy that the former 98 Degrees singer listened to his wife: Camden has much better ring to it than Colin does! Now that Camden is actually arrived, let's see if Nick stands by his words about looking forward to sleepless nights!
