I can’t wait to find out what they name this little cutie!
Congrats to Mark, Rhea, Ella, and Michael!
September 19th, 2008 at 7:43 pm
Congrats, can’t wait to hear the name, I’m sure the baby is a cutie!

Oooh–if this is true, somebody on another thread on CBB was correct! It was on the post with Mark giving Ella a hug and Rhea holding Ella’s doll. I’m pretty sure it was on the 14th or 15th. The poster guessed the baby would be born on the 16th and be named Christian. We’ll see!
September 19th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
Yay, congrats to them! That’s exciting news!!
I saw that poster, The Nanny! And I’ll have to apologize because I told her not to quit her day job on the 18th because we hadn’t heard an announcement!
I’ll be even more embarrassed if the baby ends up being named Christian!
September 19th, 2008 at 10:17 pm
Whoa– I actually got that correct. I was the poster who guessed the 16th. I must have super powers, haha. Nah, I’m just a good guesser. I’m so excited for them! That’s awesome news.
September 19th, 2008 at 10:26 pm
Now we’ll have to wait and see if I guessed the name Christian correctly. Now that would just be eerie. I doubt it though.

Congrats to the whole family! I can’t wait to hear the name.
I’m sure they’ll stick with something traditional so my guess is Samuel, Joseph, Jack, Daniel, James or Thomas.

Congrats to them, their a cute family. Their other children have nice normal names, so i’m sure this one will too
September 19th, 2008 at 10:55 pm
Congrats to them, but I can’t help feeling bit jealous, I’m due the 23rd and still pregnant! She was early.
September 19th, 2008 at 11:18 pm
Congrats to them. Very good news! Just like everybody else, I can’t wait to hear the name.

On the ET website, it says “today” they welcomed the baby, meaning the 19th but maybe they don’t know the exact date he was born. My second oldest son was born 9/19. Anyway, conagratulations to them!
September 20th, 2008 at 9:29 am
et just linked to us weekly’s story so looks like they just missed the Tuesday part.
Congrats to Rhea and Mark!

I remember reading something about how Mark’s father died, and he planned on naming this child after him…so I wouldn’t be surprised if the baby gets named Donald Edward Wahlberg or so variation of that name.
September 20th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
maybe “donovan” as an updated variation of donald…or greer, which has the same meaning as edward…i’ve also seen dax as a nickname for donald (but i doubt this is their style).
can’t wait to hear what they pick!

There’s a cute video about Rhea and Mark on youtube. In the search box, just type in Mark Wahlberg and Rhea Durham. It’ll be the first video that shows up.

i like that this couple gave their children really normal, beautiful names. wonder how they named the little one?
September 24th, 2008 at 4:26 am
Has anyone heard yet what they named their baby boy? Hope all of them are doing ok!
September 30th, 2008 at 8:46 am
I like the name Brendan Joseph, do you know if Michael has a middle name??
September 30th, 2008 at 9:42 am
Aww. Love the name! I’m sure he’s just as adorable as his big brother and sister.
September 30th, 2008 at 10:17 am
I had the feeling that she was going to have him on the 16th…which was my son’s 1st birthday. I was so happy when I was right! Then today I check CBB and they named him Brendan, which is my son’s name! FREAKY! Obviously I love the name…and the day! Congrats!!!
September 30th, 2008 at 10:30 am
What a beautiful and normal name!
Love it!
September 30th, 2008 at 11:59 am
Three lovely beautiful normal names for his children LOVE it!!
September 30th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
I had a feeling that they wouldn’t use Mark’s dads name..the baby would have been named the EXACT same name as his Uncle Donnie…Donald Edmund Wahlberg, Jr. I had this same name Brendan Joseph on my baby names for my son! I am happy that he’s here and healthy and that they are all happy. God Bless
September 30th, 2008 at 2:10 pm
HOLY LORDY!!! When they reported them having a boy I thought immediately what will they name him and came up with Brendan or Donovan!! That’s crazy!! The same thing happened with my neighbor. She had 2 girls and when she told me she was having a third I thought.. hmm.. I bet her name will be Emma.. and it was! LOVE THE NAME BRENDAN! how weird
September 30th, 2008 at 4:04 pm
Finally, a nice normal name! All three kids’ names are great, gotta love those Irish Catholics.
September 30th, 2008 at 5:11 pm
Right you are Mary. Another beautiful traditional name. I love it.
September 30th, 2008 at 9:10 pm
Awww I like the name Brendan Joseph. Congratulations to them once again and I hope that we get to see Brendan before he’s 15 months (if everyone remembers we didn’t see Michael until he was 15 months old).
And I do believe that Michael’s name is actually Michael Robert Wahlberg.
