By Sara Nathan Simon Cowell and love Lauren Silverman have officially decided to call their baby son Simon Cowell Jnr, MailOnline can reveal. The X Factor supremo, 54, and his girlfriend are expecting their son next month and he will be born in New York so Lauren can be near her eldest son, Adam. And although many thought Cowell was joking when he said that Simon was his favourite name, a friend of the couple said: ‘Simon and Lauren have decided that their favorite name for the baby is actually Simon.' ‘For a while it was between Simon and Eric- Simon’s dad’s name, but now it looks like Eric will be the middle name.’
