In light of the births of Ella and Alexander Clooney, it seemed like a good time to start up this thread. I love Alexander. Ella I could take or leave, but on the whole, I would say well done.

All things considered, it could have been much worse. They are both fine. Ella is not my style, I'm sick of all things El- and Ellie, etc.

I was pleasantly surprised. I feel like a longer name for Ella would mesh the sibset together more, but it's still better than expected.

I like the names but am uber bored by them. But, I'll take that over being enraged (looking at you STILL, Ryan Reynolds).

I would have preferred if they used something like Eleanor and called her Ella, but I don't really like Ella as a name. No issue with Alexander.

This is a bit "old" since it happened in May; Zooey Deschanel and her husband had their second child, Charlie Wolf. Older sister is Elsie Otter. The first names aren't really my style, but the sibset really works for me. I like it, especially having the same type of names for both a daughter and son. And Otter is just a fabulous choice

That said, on principle I have to send a little bit of side-eye.

Maybe a little boring, but classic and decent names.
I mean, could have been another Moxie Crimefighter or Pilot Inspektor or Audio Science.

There are rumors Beyonce is checked in a Cedars Sinai, but no announcement yet. They could have been already born, or not yet. No due date was announced officially, but people think it is soon.

I thought she was going for a home birth With twins!?! Oh dear lord, I hope not! I had a friend who had an unassisted home birth for her twins and is recommending, and advocating, the same for others. I always knew she was a little bit different, but I thought that was just crazy. The twins were her first pregnancy and she was three weeks away from being 45 when they were born.

I always knew she was a little bit different, but I thought that was just crazy. The twins were her first pregnancy and she was three weeks away from being 45 when they were born. That is crazy and super dangerous. I read an article that was going on about how homebirth for twins is just as safe as for a singleton when both twins are head down, born at term, and delivered within about 15 minutes of one another. In other words, a lot of stuff that there is no way a mother could be sure of going in and which could change during the birth. Plus, if the babies are fraternal, two placentas coming out means two gaping wounds in the uterus and significantly higher risk of dangerous bleeding. Yes, a majority of people will deliver healthy twins even in a home birth, but when stakes are that high, better than 50% aren't the kind of odds I'm looking for!

I thought she was going for a home birth? I have a feeling that was some misdirection. There's just no way that's a good idea, and Bey just doesn't strike me as the crunchy-to-the-extreme type. Gwyneth Paltrow, I'd believe it from, but Beyonce not so much. Apparently she's been quiet on social media for a couple of weeks now and people believe she's already had the babies and just hasn't announced it. If so, good for them, she deserves some rest and bonding time away from media.

I read something suggesting that the twins are spending a little time in the NICU (which isn't super unusual with twins), so maybe they are waiting for them to be discharged to make the big announcement.

Now the rumours are that the twins are named Rumi and Sir. Apparently this has been confirmed by an announcement from the parents -- but only after the trademark paperwork was filed. No apologies for the opinion that the names suck big time, but my bigger issue here is THEY'VE TRADEMARKED THE NAMES????!!!!???? When did this become a thing? Also, how is it enforceable, especially if they are not the first or only people to use these names for children, products, or businesses? And, does that mean that any press mentioning the names has to include the Trademark symbols, will the symbols be an actual part of the names?

I have no Idea how it works but I've heard the trademarks have to do with other people exploiting their names. This prevents them from branding Sir Carter stuff etc and making money.
I don't think it means people can't say it, just not make money off of it.

I read an article that said they only trademarked Blue's name after someone tried to sell a perfume "Blue Ivy Carter Rose". Or something along those lines. So no one can make money or get recognition because of the names.
