Last week, Vin Diesel welcomed his third child, a daughter, with long-time girlfriend Paloma Jiménez. The "Furious 7" star named his new baby girl Pauline as a tribute to his late co-star, Paul Walker.

So, as our tribute to the late actor and to Diesel's touching dedication, here's a list of celeb influenced baby names:

Dolly

Rebecca Romjin and Jerry O'Connell were doubly blessed with twins back in 2009, and named one of the two daughters Dolly after the big-haired singer Dolly Parton.

Presley

The brown-haired beauty Cindy Crawford named her son, Presley Walker Gerber, after the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley. If only Elvis knew. He'd probably sing her a "Thank you, thank you, thank you very much."
