TheBuzz sends our congratulations to Aldo Zilli, who is celebrating the birth of a baby girl, Twiggy.
It is a second child for celebrity chef Aldo and his 32-year-old wife Nikki and the pair join the growing ranks of parents gracing their kids with rather unusual names.
Aldo 52, explained the reason behind his choice and said: "Twiggy is a style icon of mine from the 1960's and she still looks amazing as a grandmother.
"I hope my daughter looks as good at 30 as the real Twiggy does today!"
So do we, but theBuzz suspects that may be a bit difficult with all those delicious pasta dishes Aldo will probably be feeding her!

Tips for 1 month baby photography
- The most important thing is that your infant is totally casual and the earth is sheltered. Look what works for your little one: Is he utterly comfortable after a small bath he likes to get away in your arms as you sing for him?
- Put your baby on the bed at your home or on the couch to take pictures, pay attention to the safety of your child! It's a smart thought to have somebody in the photo session (for example, your partner or a friend) watching your baby while you're busy with the photos.
- Taking pictures while your baby is asleep is also a convenient option. This way you can quickly put it down in a particular position.
- Ensure your infant is nourished and has a perfect diaper.
- Choose lovely clothes, or wrap your baby in a beautiful cloth. You can also loose with cute hats, hair bands, or other attributes like cuddly toys.
- If you choose to take pictures of your baby without clothes, make sure it is warm in the room.
- Keep wipes ready for accidental accidents.
- Go for a soft surface with a calm, neutral color. This can be a beautiful carpet, a blanket, a (cheese) cloth or a sheepskin.
- Make use of natural light. Make the pictures during the day, in a room where the light comes in. Do not flash (directly), you can scare your child.
- It is also adorable to photograph your newborn baby with his older brother or sister.
Stop time with your photo shoot: Doesn't your baby really feel like it and keeps crying? Then let him relax and go another time.
