Message: "Celebrity baby" - Behind the Name

[Opinions] Celebrity baby

Megyn Kelly - popular co-host of Fox's America’s Newsroom and a regular on The O’Reilly Factor - and her husband Douglas Brunt have welcomed a son on September 25th.

"Megyn Kelly gave birth this morning to a healthy baby boy. Megyn and her husband named the baby Edward Yates but plan on calling him Yates – he was named after both of his grandfathers."

I've never seen Yates as a first name, not sure I like it and think I'd prefer Yeats.

I really like Edward Yates as a combo but I don't like this spelling of Yates - Yeats looks much better. Not sure about Yeats as a first name either.

Yates reminds me of the wine lodge! I kinda like Yeats as a middle name though

I am not too fond of neither Yates nor Yeats. However, Yeats is more of an established first name, I believe?

I've never seen either as a first name, but Yeats looks more familiar (probably due to W.B. Yeats).

You're probably right. Speaking of authors, T.S Eliot, what names are his T and S for? I am sure I can google it, but do you know? I like Eliot though. :)

I was guessing on Thomas. Thanks! Yes, T.S Eliot's Waste Land... "April is the cruelest month... " ;-)
