  1. I can’t believe Matthew McConaughey (who my mother insists on calling Matthew Mc-conna-HAAY; she loves him) did a better job than Nicole Kidman! Very nicely done.

  2. Ha ha. I didn’t read the other comments before I posted mine. I went to a college with a girl named Kimmel who told everyone she was named for her dad’s favorite beer.

  3. Oooh, MM picked my name choice? Well, great minds think alike! A lovely choice for Matt and Camila.

  4. Yes, I heard speculation that the baby would be named something like Miller Lyte – apparently the name of his nephew.

    Had they continued the theme and had a girl, I suppose she could’ve been Stella Artois Alves McConaughey … and I found a link over at Nancy Callahan’s site suggesting Beck, Brewster, Foster and Killian as other brew-tastic monikers.

  5. Levi Alves McConaughey, very nice job! Especially considering his family, I was a bit worried it would be something bizarre! Levi is awesome, and Mom’s maiden name in the middle is a nice touch. Overall, Kudoes to them and a huge Congratulations! Wonderful job! ๐Ÿ™‚
