Singer Céline
Dion and husband
René Angélil have named their twin sons
Eddy and
Nelson! They join older brother René-Charles
Dion Angélil (9) and half siblings
Patrick (42), Jean-Pierre (36) and Anne-Marie (33).
Explanation:
Edddy comes from
Eddy Marnay, who produced the singer's first five records. "He was like a father to her," says
Dion's rep. "
Eddy is a major influence in both Céline and René's lives."
Nelson is named after
Nelson Mandela, whom
Dion met two years ago while kicking off her world tour in South
Africa. "
René said that in just the few minutes they were able to spend with him, they were impressed by the human being he is," says the rep. (Source: people.com)
-I'm really not sure how I feel about these names. On the one hand I love honoring names, on the other I really don't like 'these' names and was hoping for something French. But, I guess having more baby Nelsons or Eddys wouldn't be a bad thing, and they're miles better than Bronx or say Zuma.
