After promising that she would choose a classic name, actress Minnie Driver did not disappoint. Henry Story Driver arrived on Friday, September 5. Mom and baby are doing well.
We’re big fans of Henry, a Name of the Day back in May. We find him classic and cool, and yes, a bit on the geek chic side. In our humble opinion, Story makes the name appealingly starbaby, with just a hint of quirky rhythm. We’ll make Story Name of the Day for October 12.
It seems like an appropriate pick for Ms. Driver. Thoughts?
After thought: I wish all these celebs would leave Henry alone – I want him!! That said, if I must share a name I love with celebrities Minnie Driver, Julia Roberts, Rachel Weisz (and I believe Meryl Streep?) is a pretty cool bunch to part of!
Did you guys know that Minnie Driver is really called Amelia – I read that somewhere and I do love Amelia… anyway back to Henry Story – I adore smart, masculine, proper sounding Henry but can’t get on board with Story nor the double -er ending. Still, you can’t knock the choice really, its incredibly reserved for a celebrity and all in all shes done rather well .
Kyd’s middle name is Miller – here’s guessing he’ll be using that (far more enduring and versatile) name by sixth grade.
The most interesting thing to me is that Story seems to be trending male, while Journey seems to be used more for girls. I can’t puzzle out how some noun names attach to one particular gender – while others, like Lyric, seem to be fair game for both.
Sorry, it was Jenna Elfman. I get her confused with Tea Leoni. She has a son Story Elias:

Regardless of who it belongs to, I still think it’s kind of dumb.
Kyd? That is terrible! Poor boy! Note to David: Your son Kyd is not gonna be a little boy forever. And learn how to spell KID correctly! lol As you can tell, bad spelling drives me insane. I am not exactly a spelling/grammar Nazi, but it does irritate me.
Madelaine is ok. It’s classic, but too popular for my taste despite the different spelling.
BTW, Adrian and Ariana are boy/girl twins. I forgot to mention it. lol
Yep, that is a very bizarre combination, even if they weren’t siblings.
I checked on People.com and the one guy on DWTS and his wife had twins and named them really “normal” names. Thank God! Tony Dovolani and his wife Lina named their twins Adrian and Ariana. I love the names but Adrian comes across to me as a girl’s name judging from the sound of it (I hate the -enne spelling the girls usually have. It just bugs me) They’re also a little too close for siblings, especially twins. Other than that, they did a pretty good job. Still not as classy as their first child’s name, Luana, but at least they’re actual names and not stolen from the strip clubs.
I don’t know if everyone noticed this, but it seems like everyone is having twins lately. I’ve heard of at least 5 celebs having them in the past couple months and I actually know several sets of twins too. I even met a set of triplets several years ago when I lived in Florida. My brother and sisters and I used to play with them.
I’ve been wondering about Pilot’s sister’s name too. He either may have decided to not reveal the new baby’s name or he hasn’t figured out a name for her. Either way, I hope he comes up with something at least halfway “normal”.
I feel bad for those poor kids who have to grow up with those names their parents are giving them, even if they are celebrities. Recently, some soap star guy named his son Peanut Kai. I almost died when I heard that one. Kai is cute, but Peanut?! That just drives me up the wall. I’m still in shock over the names Diane Farr named her twins: Coco Trinity and Sawyer Lucia. I love Lucia, but the rest of the names are horrible. Coco is better as a nickname. The funny thing about Coco and Lucia though, is that they are names of characters in an anime show I watch. lol (Mermaid Melody) Trinity is a stripper name and Sawyer is not the least bit feminine.
I love Minnie Driver too. She’s pretty cool. The name itself reminds me of Minnie Mouse and I wouldn’t want it to be my name because of that. It’s also too nickname-y to stand on its own, but otherwise it’s not that bad. It works well for her.

I hear alot of bad names around here too, not just from celebs.
