My husband and I were speculating that the baby's middle name itself (reportedly in honor of Jean Nouvel, the French architect?) was perhaps a result of a brilliant undercover name placement deal. As a member of the French intelligentsia, Nouvel himself can easily claim ignorance of or even disdain for the ultimate American pop baby-- while his name is promulgated by EVERY SINGLE MEDIA OUTLET IN THE FREE WORLD. Marketing schemes just don't get any better than that.
