The Name of Leighton Meester and Adam Brody\'s Daughter, Arlo Day, Is Very on Trend

The news that Leighton Meester and Adam Brody—or better known as Seth Cohen and Blair Waldorf in our hearts—have welcomed their first child had us feeling all kinds of happy feels today. At the time of the announcement, details on the baby\'s gender and name were still mum—but TMZ is reporting (thanks to a birth certificate it obtained) that Meester and Brody have given birth to a baby girl.

Arlo is a name that was traditionally given to males in the past, but it\'s been rising in popularity as a unisex name as of late (up 68 percent with female babies this week, according to Nameberry.com).
