Eddie Redmayne Just Got the Best Father’s Day Gift Ever in the Form of a Newborn Baby and This Is Her Name

1. Gertrude

Gertrude is a classic name that's German in origin and means "strength of a pear."

Even though the nickname "Gertie" has a playful, vintage charm (and perhaps even reminds us of 5-year-old Drew Barrymore in "E.T."), it hasn't been enough to breathe new life into the full name, which has fallen out of favor in recent decades.

2. Ambrose

With Latin origins, Ambrose is a distinguished name that means "immortal." Yet despite it feeling both gentle and strong, many modern parents have seemingly shied away from it.

In 2023, Ambrose ranked at number 789 in U.S. baby name popularity, so its retirement may be on the horizon.

3. Ethel

Ethel, which is English in origin, means "noble maiden" and was once widely popular, especially during the early 20th century.

At the height of its fame, Ethel Barrymore was a Broadway icon, and the name was a staple in many households. It even held a top 10 spot for 16 years and remained in the top 100 until 1939.

Nonetheless, Ethel has a vintage vibe that can sound too old and may be better suited for earlier generations.

4. Bertha

Meaning "bright" and "glorious," Bertha is a German name that was once viewed as strong, feminine, and elegant. It reached its height during the late 19th century, but today, it seems a bit outdated.

Ranked at number 8,481 in U.S. birth name popularity, it's clear that Bertha has lost much of its appeal.

5. Claude

Claude is a name of French Origin and has ancient Latin roots that mean "lame." While the literal translation may not be the most flattering, the name has a rich history, having been carried by numerous notable figures.

Even so, Claude has struggled to make a significant comeback. It's ranked at number 6,685 in U.S. births, meaning it's a rare choice for today's little ones.

6. Myrtle

Derived from Myrtus, an evergreen shrub known for its medicinal properties used to treat respiratory ailments and skin inflammation, Myrtle is a Greek name that was first used for girls in the 1850s.

However, with its current ranking of 24,192 in U.S. births, Myrtle has definitely fallen into obscurity.

7. Chester

With English and Latin roots, Chester means "fortress," "camp," or "camp of soldiers." It was once favored for its association with strength and protection and is sometimes used as a nickname for "Rochester."

Regardless, Chester currently ranks at number 3,715 in U.S. births, showing parents are passing up this classic choice.

8. Edna

Finally, Edna is a name with Hebrew origins that means "rejuvenation" and "delight." With its biblical roots in the apocryphal Book of Tobit, the name carries a sense of spiritual renewal and grace.

Despite its rich meaning, Edna has become less popular in recent years, coming in at number 3,542 among U.S. births.

Leighton Meester's kids understand the Hollywood of it all.

While recording a Vogue Beauty Secrets video, Leighton Meester revealed that her kids are pretty used to traveling for her and Adam Brody's work.

“My kids, they get what we do," she says. "They come on location a lot." And while both Leighton and Adam have worked on some pretty big projects (and Leighton just joined Nobody Wants This season 2!), the Gossip Girl actress doesn't "think they're fazed at all."

"They get a lot of us off set and a lot of us not working, which has been always a really big benefit for both of us," she continues.

She also revealed to Brit + Co exclusively that Arlo is pretty helpful in the kitchen. “What I try to do is meal prep as much as I can. Sometimes that doesn't work out for me, but for my kids — I'll make things ahead of time," she says, adding that she's in “one of the luckiest positions that a mom could be.”

“When I was still nursing or my babies were still young, I had plenty of space and time to [be with my kids]," she continues. "And I know most women who are mothers don't have that opportunity at all.”

What has Adam Brody said about his parenting style?

When asked about his parenting style with Leighton Meester, Adam Brody told Today's Hoda & Jenna that he feels like their parenting is the "perfect" balance. "Of course, I’m going to feel like it’s the perfect balance of all of it," he says, adding that they're "very honest."

"We have some very truthful conversations, for better or worse. But other than that, I wouldn’t say overly strict," he continues. "There is a helicopter, you know, to keep them safe. I’m not overly strict but I see the sharp edges, literally...I want to keep those heads maintained."

What has Leighton Meester said about their family traditions?

When it comes to spending time together during the holidays, Leighton also opened up to Brit + Co exclusively about their go-to activities in an interview for her 2023 rom-com EXmas.

"We do a lot of hanging out," Leighton says in our conversation. "It's infuriating to people who live in cold weather but we go to the beach or we go in our pool or jacuzzi. We have snacks by the jacuzzi — we call it jajuterie!" Can I get in on that?

How many children does Leighton Meester have?

Adam Brody and Leighton Meester have two children, a daughter named Arlo, and a son whose name they haven't told us yet.

What are Leighton Meester's kids ages?

Arlo is 9 years old and was born on August 4, 2015. Leighton Meester and Adam Brody's son was born in 2020 and is 4 years old.

How old was Leighton Meester when she had her first child?

Leighton Meester was 27 years old when she had Arlo in 2015.

Rory Gilmore loves coffee...but Alexis Bledel allegedly didn't.

One of the most recognizable details in Gilmore Girls is Lorelai and Rory's love for coffee. They drink it like water, and a clip from the show went viral for Rory sobbing about having to give it up. Well, Alexis Bledel probably wasn't that heartbroken because according to HuffPost, the actress didn't actually like coffee while filming the show (although according to Lauren Graham, “There is always coffee in my cup.”)

Considering one of the most viral and recognizable clips from the whole show is Rory sobbing about having to give up coffee — "And I love coffee!" — that is a shocking detail!

However, Alexis Bledel might have actually set the record straight on the longstanding claim she always had soda in her mug instead (which seems to originally come from YourTango in 2013). Ahead of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life in 2016, the actress told Marie Claire that she loves any "winter beverage."

"Give me a hot drink and I’m happy," she says. "Hot cider, hot chocolate, coffee… I like all winter beverages!" You and me both sister.

There's a good chance Alexis' tastes changed from filming in 2000 and filming in 2016. There's also a good chance she did actually like coffee the whole time. But don't worry — we reached out to her reps for comment.
