Scarlett Johansson named her daughter Rose Dorothy. The middle name is after ScarJo’s grandmother and one can only assume Rose is so momma and baby are part of the same color family. The baby was born where Scarlett grew up, New York City, and not Paris where her and fiance French Journalist, Romain Dauriac have recently been residing.

Scarlett has joined a growing number of celebrities and media outlets championing the privacy of stars’ children. Earlier in 2014, Kristen Bell and husband Dax Shepard began a campaign called “No Kids Policy” which simply is against the exploitation of Hollywood children by the media without their parents agreeing to it. Bell explained it best when she professed that it was her choice to be an actress in the spotlight and not her child’s.
Large media outlets have already joined in pledging they won’t share celebrity baby photos without parental consent. Publications such as: People magazine, Entertainment Weekly, The Huffington Post, and Buzzfeed have already jumped on board.

Although I love pictures of newborns just as much as any other baby crazed lady; I also know how intense the first baby can be. Between a ridiculous lack of sleep, a sore body, and family members fighting over holding time, it’s a situation that can make even the calmest person crazy; add in paparazzi with a horde of adoring fans, and you have a recipe for a mental break down.
I am proud of Scarlett Johansson, making a stand that this is her and Romain Dauriac’s joy to be shared with only those they choose. I am also glad there are other celebrities joining together to fight for their children too, after all they are the most precious things we have, even when they are stinky little monsters.
