Christie Brinkley also named her daughter Sailor way back in 1998.

With naming traditions in the US traditionally being freer than those in the UK, the name Sailor/Saylor itself has little history or meaning, it's simply one that parents like the sound of.

It's not the only nautical name out there. Babyhold has compiled an extensive list of seafaring-inspired options for babies, including the sturdy-sounding Anchor, Bertha and Keel. Here are a few we most like the sound of:

Blue: If it's good enough for Beyonce and Jay-Z...
Catalina: Refers to a yacht or the island to which it sails
Finn: An homage to fish may seem odd but it's a winner for boys
Isla: Isla Fisher has a double nautical name
Marina: Time for a comeback?
Pearl: A pretty girl's name inspired by the sea's precious treasure
Piper: Whistle signals called piping were used on ships when visitors were hoisted aboard or over the side
