Natalie Portman Baby Name Revealed
Tags: aleph, baby name, benjamin millepied, Natalie Portman
Although Natalie Portman gave birth nearly three weeks ago, the name of her new baby boy was never released to the media until yesterday — they’ve named the poor bastard Aleph. Probably because “Leave Aleph alone!” has a nice alliterative ring to it. People magazine says:
Aleph is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, much like alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet. Aleph is the number 1 in Hebrew and can also be spelled “alef.”
Its esoteric meaning in Judaic Kabbalah relates to the origin of the universe, the “primordial one that contains all numbers.”
Ah, pretentious AND dorky. I guess naming him “Taliesin” after Frank Lloyd Wright’s summer home just wasn’t quite pedantic enough and “Merlin” and “Leopold” were just too clichéd.

Whathefuck is wrong with these people?
She might as well name him Jewey Jew.
And when is she going to admit that Darren Aronofsky is the real father?

She’ll never admit is was Aronofsky. C’mon, Aleph Aronofsky? Ha ha, that just sounds stupid!
P.S. I’m kidding, of course. It already sounded stupid. Three cheers for Jewy Jewerton Jewenstein!

You know the kid will change his name by the time he’s ten and call himself Chip or Buzz or something.
But before then he’s going to need karate lessons.
