Lisa Leslie welcomes daughter Lauren Jolie Lockwood
LA Sparks basketball star Lisa Leslie, 34, may work hard on the court, but her new daughter is already giving her a run for her money just by being born!
Although she was due June 25th and Lisa had her plans in place, Lauren Jolie made her debut over a week early, by middle-of-the-night cesarean section at 4:05 or 4:11 am on Friday, weighing in at 8 lbs, 11 oz, and 20 inches long.
Lisa had previously mentioned that she and husband Michael Lockwood chose the names so that mother and daughter could have matching initials.

I don’t really like the name Lauren but I love Jolie as a middle name. I think I’d give it to my kid as a first name. Jolie Lockwood sounds lovely together.

Wow, did she name her after her arch-rival, Lauren Jackson? That would be weird.
