James Corden's middle name curse to be passed on to newborn?

“Every man in my family has it – it’s a tradition," James revealed last year. "For ages I pretended it was Karl, but my sister was going out with one of my mates and told him, then he told the whole school. It wasn’t great.”

A source suggested to the Daily Mirror that doubt over their son's middle name is holding up announcing their baby's first name. "James and Julia haven't decided on a name but James is really unsure if he should keep the family tradition going," a source told the Daily Mirror. "He knows first-hand that it's not a great name for a little boy to have growing up."

Despite Kimberly being an old fashioned male name, today it's more of a female moniker. "The little boy is also a healthy big bruiser who looks like he could easily grow up and become a rugby player, and Kimberly is, after all, usually a girl's name," continued the source.

It seems James would prefer something more manly, when he joked recently, "A frontrunner for me was Wilberforce as I thought that’s the greatest name in the world. If you’ve got ‘force’ in your name, that’s just amazing.”
