Starbaby News: Welcome Sundance

May 20, 2010 By appellationmountain Leave a Comment

Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh has welcomed a son. I was dimly aware that she’d named her firstborn Joseph Michael, and had noticed her on the list of upcoming celeb births.

But her first son was named Joseph.

    Here’s the story on the name: http://celebritybabies.people.com/2010/05/26/kerri-walsh-interview-sundance/

    How did you and Casey choose the name Sundance Thomas for your new arrival?

    “Well, the first six months of my pregnancy he was going to be named Kelly

    I would have gone with Redford instead of Sundance. Wonder if they’ll call him Sunny or Sonny?

    I immediately thought Sundance was girl. Not a good sign. Any name with Sun in it automatically makes me think “female.” I must admit, I do like it as a GP. But I do think its a very bizarre pairing with Joseph Michael.

      I triple-checked to make sure Sundance wasn’t a daughter, too!

    NOOOO! Sundance has been on my list of middle name choices for about a year now due largely to this

    The line where Paul Newman goes “Are you crazy? The fall will probably kill you.” It’s alays stayed with me as a reminder not to worry about things until I come to them.

    (fingers crossed that it embeds properly, if not apologies)

    Hehe, yes, that is quite the startling change in name styles! I do hope they share the story behind the surprising choice!

    First off, Sundance is out there – I mean out. there. And very feminine in my ear. Add that big bro is Joseph and I gotta ask, say wha?! Welcome Sunny! And congrats on having the most creative name in your family.
