Young and Restless baby will go by middle name

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

Congrats to Amelia Heinle and Thad Luckinbill, actors on the soap the Young and the Restless. Baby Thaddeus Rowe Luckinbill, born Nov. 2, will go by his middle name. Rowe, a break from the increasingly popular name Rowen (or, Rowan, for girls such as Brooke Shield’s child), is more common as a last name and seems to be of Gaelic origin. By some accounts, it means “red-haired.” Thaddeus Rowe was also the name of a 1970 L.A. Dodgers infielder.
