Oh, this is a fun one. Country singer Brad Paisley’s new son, born nine months ago, is apparently going by his middle name, Huckleberry. Brad and his wife, Kimberly, call the boy “Huck” rather than his first name, William, according to People Magazine.
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.
Someone sent the Kitty Hell blog a document showing that an Australian woman has legally changed her middle name to Hello Kitty. Our first thought was that she will one day regret this like a soccer mom regrets her Winnie the Pooh ankle tattoo, but who are we to say? We at Babymiddlename.net have no beef with Hello Kitty, and as long as you’re not changing your name to something hateful, have at it! You can always change it back, but it’ll cost you.
