What drug was Julia and hubby on when they decided the names for these children? Hope mama and papa are there on the playground when the name calling begins because it will happen. Glad they are all doing well but geez, what is wrong with some of these people who name their kids horrible names!!!! Hopefully, they will go by their middle names or change their names when they are older. I raised three kids with nice, normal names. Kids just are not nice when they are in grade school or middle school and Julia better be prepared to explain to her two children why she named them horrible names. Hope these kids are tutored at home for their sakes.

When I named Sara, I took into careful consideration her first and middle names (Sara Nicole) so that no one could possibly make fun of her. Even made sure her initials didn't spell out something. On a side note, if she would have taken my maiden name, her initials would have been S N M.... think about it.....

The name "Phinneas" reminds me of Phineas Gage. It makes me think the kid got his head impaled.

[Sorceress]

And I thought Apple was bad. I'm only hoping that each one of those names is a family name and that Julia and her husband decided it was more important to honor those people than give their children decent names. Maybe they have already thought of reasonable nicknames?
I just can't imagine cradling my beautiful newborn babies in my arms and seeing a Phinneus or a Hazel.

I know they aren't It just reminds me of a cat name or a name for a tiger, lion, etc.

I don't mind Hazel but as for the boys name......

Personally, I love weird names. It spices everything up. When I have kids (or adopt) they are going to be named weird, too. Sebastian Fritz is on the top of my list!

I love odd names, too. If I ever have a daughter, her name will be Calista. That? Is the most beautiful name.

If these little tykes keep her from making movies, I'm happy for her. It's bad enough that I see a commercial for "Closer" every time I flip on the boob tube. She couldn't act her way out of a paper bag. I suspect she hit it big because of the casting couch.

I can't help but associate it with Calista Flockhart.

[Patti]

I saw a little snippet of the Today Show this morning and they were talking about the names. Patricia (great name, btw) was Danny's mother's name and Walter was Julia's father's name. The guy Katie Couric was interviewing didn't know where the first names came from.

I've heard of the name Phinneaus before. I read a book where the lead character was named that. They will probably call him Phinn (Fin) or Phinny, (Finny) or Phinley (Finley)

I actually kind of like it. I want to name my kid (if I have a boy) Finley (somewhat similar)

Here is what it means:
Phineas (different spelling)

Hebrew: Meaning uncertain; suggested definitions include oracle, dark-skinned, mouth of brass, and a serpent's mouth


Kind of strange. I found another meaning where it said it meant 'loudmouth.' I guess that fits b/c I think Julia has one of the largest mouths I have ever seen on a woman. How many teeth does she have in that huge mouth of hers anyway..120?
