Well, folks, we finally have a name. In a world where we have celebrity children named things like Pilot Inspektor and the recent Bronx Mowgli, we all waited with bated breath to see what king Kong actress Naomi Watts would name the newest addition to her family.
Naomi and partner Liev Schreiber welcomed a second son into the world this past Saturday and the tot has been named...get ready for it: Samuel. Yep, that's it. Nothin' crazy 'bout that. Just good old, classical "Samuel." I like the ring of that, don't you? In fact, I was at one time considering it as a possibility for our son. Kudos to Naomi and Liev for keeping it real. Samuel weighed in at 7 pounds, thirteen ounces (that's a big boy!).
Samuel joins brother Alexander who is just over fifteen months old. Guess they were trying to get the babies out of the way all at once, eh? What's interesting to me about this celebrity baby naming business is that the parents don't normally do what my OBGYN terms as giving kids names that fit within the family. For example, my son is named Mercer, which is a somewhat unusual name. I was considering the name Charlotte for my daughter and my OB said the Charlotte did not sound like the name of a girl who had a brother named Mercer. Samuel sounds very much like he has a brother named Alexander.
Congrats to the happy couple, on the birth of their son, and for giving him a name that he won't be ashamed of when he hits preschool!

AndreAnna said...See, what's funny is my first baby (2 now) is Charlotte and we had a hard time finding a boy named that fit "the brother of a Charlotte" when we found out our son was going to be a boy. We ended up choosing Sawyer and now that he's five months, I couldn't imagine another name for him and I think it fits the siblings well!
