With her due date just days away, 'Girl on Fire' singer Alicia Keys is busy getting ready for the arrival of baby #2.


The 33-year-old, who has revealed that she and her husband Swizz Beatz are expecting their second child together on New Years Eve, won't share her top baby name picks, but she does say that her 4-year-old son Egypt has cast his vote.


It turns out that the preschooler is partial to names inspired by Disney's The Little Mermaid: “He’s like, ‘What about Prince Eric or Ariel?'" says Alicia.


Egypt could be onto something. After all, just last month Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen named their new baby Briar Rose, after the Sleeping Beauty princess. New mom Eva Mendes admits that she and Ryan Gosling's baby name pick, Esmerelda, was inspired by the Victor Hugo novel turned Disney film The Hunchback of Notre Dame.


When I was pregnant with my second baby, my then 4-year-old was very insistent that we name the new baby Rosalina. She loved that name so much that I actually considered using it - briefly.


Did your child have a name in mind for the new baby, too?


We'll have to wait and see if Alicia takes her son's advice and joins the Disney-themed baby name trend. Just in case, here are a few of our favorites...
