He said after watching Antonia cry about her daughter in that episode her wanted to go home and “make some little Blais’”. Guess he got on that! Congrats!

I love him. He is my favorite this season. I really hope he wins.

So cute! He said he wanted to go home and make babies after doing the challenge with kiddies. He’s so likeable! I’m happy for him.

Funny, how it’s always people with normal, boring names that give their kids weird/ creative/gender-switching names and those with unusual names always say they hated their names and go for something more classic.
Guess, it’s true, we never learn from other people’s mistakes.

I like him too. I thought his comment about going home to make babies was so cute. I’d love for him to win this season. My birthday is May 29th too! Welcome to little Riley – another Gemini!

It would be interesting to know which ‘unusual’ names become more popular after a celebrity uses them … for example, I bet there were hardly any kids named Maddox before Angelina adopted her Maddox. Also, there probably weren’t very many Shanias before Shania Twain became famous, but now there’s probably a ton. Names and their popularity are always interesting – I think the name Katrina dropped from being in the top 30 most popular names to being 600th place after the hurricane …

Sanja- Soleil Moon Frye would disagree
I don’t think the name is that unusual, she’ll be known more as Riley and Maddox is pretty common. As a surname, at least.
