It's heartwarming to watch him turn into a bona fide family man since he took up residence in the 716. With a new baby comes the difficulty of choosing a name. There is a lot of importance placed on the name given to a firstborn, especially if it's a son. Would he choose Joshua Patrick Allen, Jr. Or, might Hailee, who just celebrated her 29th birthday on December 11, choose to name the baby (if it's a boy) after her dad, Peter Steinfeld, or even after her maternal grandfather, Ricardo Domasin? Whatever discussions they have and decisions they have to make, there are some names that aren't even an option! Celebrities have come up with off-the-wall names like North, Blue, Apple, Cosmo, Pilot Inspektor, Gravity, and the list goes on, but Josh and Hailee are banned from choosing any of the names below.

Jesus by itself is fine. I grew up in the southwest, where Jesus is a common name, pronounced hay-SOOS.

6. III is a banned baby name.
