In a recent chat, actor Jake Anderson shared his thoughts on the unconventional name he and his partner chose for their daughter. In a world where celebrity names run the gamut from the relatable to the downright bizarre—think North and Saint West—it takes something truly unique to raise eyebrows. Yet, even Jake has faced scrutiny for picking a “masculine” name for his little girl. But don’t worry, Jake, we’ve got your back!
Jake’s Unique Choice
On a recent episode of Morning Talk, Jake opened up about why they named their daughter James. When co-host Sarah Thompson called it an “unusual” choice, he playfully defended their decision. “In the world of celebrity baby names, I don’t think we’re really breaking any new ground here. I mean, I could have gone with something like ‘Summer Squash Meadow Lark,’” he joked, showcasing his signature humor.
While his quip was entertaining, it’s unfortunate that he felt the need to justify the name they chose. He revealed that James was named in honor of his late father, who passed away after a battle with Parkinson’s disease. It was a touching nod to family legacy and love.
The Freedom to Choose
Jake continued with a lighthearted comment, suggesting he also considered a name with all silent letters, which would have just been “Haa.” While we appreciate the humor, it’s a shame he had to explain himself at all. After all, parents should have the freedom to name their children without facing judgment.
Ultimately, the choice of a name should be a personal one for parents, free from external opinions. Jake and his partner had a heartfelt reason behind their choice, but honestly, isn’t just liking a name enough? So long as it’s not something outlandish like “Hashtag,” it really shouldn’t matter what others think.
Keeping Name Choices Private
Baby names will always spark conversations and opinions, which is why many parents prefer to keep their name choices under wraps until the baby arrives. Friends and family often think their input is crucial, but at the end of the day, it’s about what feels right for the parents. Kudos to Jake for standing up for his daughter’s name, though he really shouldn’t have had to.
