OMG! I told my friend that when she was pregnant with her son! I said “Do you realise you have a tiny penis inside you?” She just stared at me, and grinned.

Fun Fact – Alex played Sookie in the Pilot of Gilmore Girls until they changed actresses.
September 9th, 2008 at 10:00 pm
Actually JC she played Drella the harpist at the Independence Inn. I know WAAAYY too much about Gilmore Girls! So they must have met and married before GG.
Good for them!
September 9th, 2008 at 10:02 pm
Oh, and then she played Miss Celine the stylist in GG as well.

i loved him on gilmore girls but ive got to say that name is a little bit…out there Barnaby? really?
September 9th, 2008 at 10:22 pm
Barnaby doesn’t seem that “out there” to me.
It’s a very old school name… with Barney being the shorter version.
September 9th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
I know she played the Harpest and Miss Celine but she was orignally casted as Sookie and they even shot a pilot with her in the role but they recast it. At one point the pilot was on youtube I’m not sure if it still is.

Gilmore Girls was one of my all time favorite shows. I’m so happy for both of them!
I’m just a little thrown off by the name but to each their own!
September 9th, 2008 at 11:00 pm
I love them – Barnaby seems to be a name that suits their “fun-ness” for lack of a better word at this hour.
She was originally intended to play Sookie, but couldn’t due to other commitments, so played Drella, the harpist.

in the unaired pilot she played sookie
September 10th, 2008 at 3:54 am
kelly- Alex played Sookie in the original unaired pilot episode
I’ve seen really grainy footage of it, I have to say I like Melissa McCarthy better!
I like the name! How I Met Your Mother’s Barney is one of my favourite TV characters, he likes to say his full name is Barnabus Stinson

I don’t know about Barnaby being ‘out there’ as a name. I’m from the UK and I know quite a few Barnabys. Maybe it’s more popular over here.
September 10th, 2008 at 7:02 am
I love the name…it’s my maiden name.
September 10th, 2008 at 10:53 am
That poor kid is gonna get teased so bad
September 10th, 2008 at 11:29 am
Teased about what? — LOVE the name!
September 10th, 2008 at 11:56 am
As a huge Gilmore Girls fan I´m really happy for them. Congrats
September 10th, 2008 at 12:10 pm
If you guys have the Gilmore Girls DvD’S You can watch the original pilot with Alex as Sookie St. James. And Congratulations to the new parents. They better keep busy if they want 4 in 4.

Am I the only one who thought of t.v. detective Barnaby Jones? I know, I’m dating myself, it was on in the 70’s. I’m afraid he’ll get teased too, but maybe he’ll have a cool nickname.
