Decisions, decisions.

Kate Hudson and fiancé Matthew Bellamy are still musing over what to name their new baby boy, born Saturday night, a source tells PEOPLE.

Luckily, they have a bit more time to decide – although the actress, 32, and rocker, 33, plan to settle in London while Bellamy’s band Muse works on their next album, they’ll remain in Los Angeles while Hudson recovers from the birth.

The Something Borrowed star – who delivered her 7 lbs., 12 oz. son naturally despite having undergone a Cesarean section with Ryder Russell, 7½ – is “doing great,” says the source, adding that the couple is “beyond thrilled” with their new addition.

How Harper Seven Beckham Got Her Name

David and Victoria Beckham are spending quiet family time together welcoming their new arrival Harper Seven and relishing their privacy, a rep for the couple tells PEOPLE.

But the question lingers: How did the parents of three boys – Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, 8½, and Cruz, 6½ – ever arrive at the name Harper for their baby girl, let alone Seven?

It may not be as complicated as you think.

Harper is an old English name that Victoria has always loved, PEOPLE has learned, and seven is considered a very lucky spiritual number.

In addition, Harper Seven was born Sunday morning in L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center weighing 7 lbs. (and 10 oz.) in the seventh hour in the seventh month — on the seventh day of the week.

As sports fans can’t help but also note, seven was David’s jersey number for Manchester United and the English national team.

Emily Deschanel’s Vegan Pregnancy Diet

Following a vegan or vegetarian diet can be difficult on its own, but how about when you’re eating for two?

Dietician Ashley Koff (below, left), who appeared on The CW’s Shedding for the Wedding, helps her clients, including expectant actress Emily Deschanel, learn what kind of food and beverages best help the body get its necessary nutrients.

“What we want to do is give the body just enough energy so that it performs well,” she told PEOPLE.

For example, many vegetarians love the combination of pita and hummus.

But while pita is easily recognized as a carbohydrate, hummus is actually both a protein and a carbohydrate, “so you’re getting too many carbohydrates at one time,” she said. “So we switch it up and replace the pita with vegetables instead.”
