Ben Affleck & Jennifer Garner Baby Name

I know you all have been holding your collective breath waiting to hear Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s baby’s name. People had the exclusive news:

A week after their second daughter’s birth, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have announced her name, Garner’s reps tell PEOPLE exclusively.

It is Seraphina Rose Elizabeth Affleck.

The baby was born Jan. 6 in Los Angeles. Garner and Affleck, both 36, are also parents to daughter Violet, 3.

While no explanation was offered for the name, or if she was named for anyone, one Web site specializing in the origin of names refers to Seraphina as “derived from the Biblical word ’seraphim,’ which was Hebrew in origin and meant ‘fiery ones.’ “

Well, they could have done a lot worse. If they call her Sera that won’t be weird at all. They could’ve named her the feminine form ‘Kin-tan-tee’, whatever that would be.

Brad Says ‘No’ to Castor and Pollux

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are apparently at odds over names for their unborn twins. Female First says

Gemini Angelina reportedly wants to name the babies Castor and Pollox after the twins of her birth sign, but Brad has dismissed the suggestion as he doesn’t want a daughter with a name “like a British cuss word”.

I have to admit I think naming them Castor and Pollux would be kinda cool. I’m a huge mythology dork, and anyone who knows the story of the two brothers knows it’s a testament to an intense fraternal love immortalized by Zeus in the constellation that just happens to be Angelina’s zodiac sign. So apropos on so many levels, really. But if Brad wants to be such a Philistine, here are a couple more famous twin names I’d also tolerate:

10. Tiki and Ronde. Catchy! Get it?

9. Romulus and Remus. Only one day one of them might be Uncle Remus, which could present problems for Disney.

8. Ben and Jerry. Are they twins? Nobody knows. But they are responsible for Chunky Monkey, which, coincidentally, also makes a good twin name.

7. Patty and Cathy. Cousins who are twins!

6. Ann and Abigail.

5. Jacob and Esau. Tough call deciding which one is relegated to a lifetime of hirsute doltishness.

4. Zan and Jayna. Wonder twin powers activate! Form of: fetus!

3. Bee and Gee. That one really depends on how deep your love is.

2. Flossie and Freddie. And the mystery of the four-leaf clover!

and the number one name I’d tolerate for the Brangelina twins:

1. Luke and Leia. No… there is another!
