London, Oct 21 (IANS) Pregnant Lily Allen has vowed not to follow the celebrity trend of giving her baby a "wacky" name.

The "Smile" hitmaker is due to give birth to her first child, a son, in January and admits that since doctors told her the baby's gender, she and her partner Sam Cooper have been considering what to call their offspring, reports dailystar.co.uk.

The couple has drawn up a list of potential names but they plan to avoid any that are too bizarre, as construction worker Cooper would face sarcastic remarks from his workmates.

"The whole thing became a lot more real to me when I found out it was a boy. You start to think of names, and then you can go shopping, and it all feels like it's happening," said Allen.

"I have got a really stupid list of names, but I'm not going to show you. But, no, we probably won't use it. I think Sam is way too straight and traditional for that sort of thing. He would be ridiculed at the building site," she added.
