Help[Opinions] Re: Ryan Reynolds & Blake Lively's kids
in reply to a message by PyrateMommy86
I read on Reddit that apparently all the kid's names are taken from the grandparents' names somehow. Blake's Grandmother was named Willie Inez, and her grandfather was James Olin. (Ryan Reynolds' dad is also a James). I guess there must be a Betty or Elizabeth somewhere in there.
Interesting idea for a theme.
If I followed that pattern I'd just have Francis and Joan to work with - only 2 of my 4 grandparents had middle names, and my husband's didn't have any middles either!
Anyways I love Betty and Inez. Olin is ok, feels bang on in terms of trends though, so luckily grandpa had the right kind of name. James on a girl is pretty boring, although I admit that a subset of Jamie, Inez, Betty and Ollie is real cute.

Grandparents are a minefield. My grandmothers had mns and I have one of them: Florence Beatrice and Sarah Anne. My grandfathers were both Thomas. One had his mother's birth surname, Clowes, as his mn; the other was a singleton. Not much scope.
