Supermodel and expectant mom Rebecca Romijn, who is having twins with her new husband Jerry O’Connell, says she has already picked out at least one name- provided, of course, one of the twins is a girl. Romijn is a huge fan of country legend Dolly Parton, and hopes to give one of the babies the same moniker.

She’s not due to give birth until next year, but Rebecca Romijn has already decided to name one of the twins with hubby Jerry O’Connell after her favorite singer, Dolly Parton.

“I have been a fan of Dolly all my life. She’s a wonderful woman. I really connect with her music. I can’t think of a better role model for my children!” says the mom-to-be, who finally met her idol at the “Backwoods Barbie” show in Tennessee’s Dollywood theme park on August 17. “She has this great, sweet personality but she’s also strong and wise,” gushed Rebecca, 35, who got Dolly’s blessing for her choice of name. “She was honored.”

I actually think Dolly is a really cute name. But I hope she doesn’t get crazy and name the kid Parton if it turns out she’s carrying twin boys. Then again, it’s not any worse than Zuma. I’m actually thinking about naming my baby “Carlin,” after my idol, George Carlin, if it’s a boy. Is that weird?

Note by Celebitchy: Jerry O’Connell recently joked about naming the twins Mary-Kate and Ashley, saying “I’m not kidding. I really thought about that.”
