Baby Middle Name

Though born April 10, the new daughter of former Law & Order star Elisabeth Rohm and her fiance, Ron Wooster, has another month for a middle name: August. In fact, Easton August Anthony has two middle names. Rohm’s publicist told the Associated Press that Anthony is a family name and the rest came to Rohm in a dream. Months are fun choices for middle names or even first names. One of singer Dion DiMucci’s daughters in named August. And of course there are little Mays, Junes, Aprils and even Januarys running around!

I enjoyed watching Finola Hughes as Anna Devane on All My Children. Now, she’s added child number three, Sadie Beatrice Young, with husband Russell Young. Soap Opera Weekly reports that the baby, born four months ago, got her middle name thanks to family history: Both parents have relatives with that name, and Hughes also said the baby “looks old-fashioned.”

Harlow Winter Kate Madden, the baby girl born to Nicole Richie and Joel Madden on Jan. 11, 2008, is a plethora of middle name special-ness. First off, she has two middle names, which is a topic that’s been covered here at www.babymiddlename.net, since there are both pros and cons to going the two-name route. Secondly, one of her names is one that’s generally thought of as a nickname: Kate. Cool. And how better to top a cool name like Harlow than with the middle name of Winter? It works. Congrats to the new parents.
