Maybe she'll become an artist and turn part of her name into a sigil.

I think Olympia is a lovely name, but also a lot to live up to. She's a very beautiful baby.

Hopefully she and Serena Williams' Olympia can become buddies in the future.

I'm normally not a huge fan of creative names like that, but I kinda love Olympia Lightening Bolt.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson and his husband had a boy and named him Beckett Mercer Ferguson-Mikita. THAT is a mouthful. Also, I rather like Beckett, but Mercer reminds me of MRSA and nobody needs to be thinking of that right now.

I have a strong suspicion that "Mercer" is either a reference to Mercer Street or the Mercer Hotel and either one makes it bad.

Middle names aren't really a mouthful everyday use because you rarely use them. Beckett Ferguson-Mikita is still a bit much, but that's my personal issue with parents who give their kids two last names.
That's all fine for the parents' lineage, but what if Mr. Ferguson-Mikita wants to marry someone with a hyphenated last name? Do they have four now? How do they choose? I know there's no easy answer and someone is going to be left out, but doubling last names with a hyphen doesn't seem the best answer either.
And I get the desire to carry on the family name. My unusual family name is going to die out in this country because my sisters and I took our husbands' last names, and my brothers have no heirs. In retrospect I wish I had named one of my daughters a name that would have been very similar to my family name, and would have been an obvious homage while still being a normal girls name.

I know there's no easy answer and someone is going to be left out, but doubling last names with a hyphen doesn't seem the best answer either. A friend of mine married a man with a hyphened name. They dropped one name and gave their first child the other name as a middle name. The parent whose name was dropped was pretty pissy about it until the grandchild came along. |

Jessica Biel apparently just gave birth to baby boy #2. Pregnancy was kept a secret. It was back at the end of November that Justin was snapped looking a little cosy with a co-star and that means Jessica was pregnant at the time.

Jon Favreau, former Obama head speechwriter and one of the Pod Save America hosts, and his wife had a boy the other day: Charles Harrison Favreau. As would be expected, it more than passes the Supreme Court Justice test.
