I think Christian Bale didn’t share his daughters name, either, but it was leaked to the press. I can’t blame him for wanting to protect his child. They don’t ask for the fame and all that goes with it, so my hat’s off to celeb parents who choose not to put their child too “out there”; but, I also enjoy hearing about celeb babies. So, I’m happy either way!

What I dont like about Nia Vardalos was that she did a movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding based on her real life story. She hid the fact that her current husband is Puerto Rican and not a Jew like in the movie. Is she ashame of that part of him????

I know they went through so much with infertility, so it is wonderful to know that they made it through that to welcome a child into their home and hearts, no matter how they ended up succeeding in doing it.

That little girl will be so loved.

kim and Meghan- Very good points! I guess I’m just used to celebs sharing their new babies’ or kids’ names genders, names, etc.

However, I realize now that the celebs that spring to mind (Katie and Tom, Angelina and Brad, Tori and Dean, Gwen and Gavin, etc.) when I think of celebs who have released their kids’ names and such are the ones who probably couldn’t get away with NOT doing so.

Anyway, I’m sure we’ll at least find out the little girl’s name eventually. I remember that when Ewan McGregor and his wife first adopted their daughter Jamiyan, they also chose not to release her name. However, it eventually leaked (either that or Ewan actually said the name himself. I don’t remember which it was).

I think it’s very commendable they a adopt a child rather than a newborn. There are so many children that never get adopted. Congratulations and best wishes to the family!!

I love Nia Vardalos! She is just so down-to-earth, real and funny! And so is her husband, Ian. I am so happy for both of them and for their new little girl. They will be great parents and that child will be a blessing. Congratulations!

It says this is the first child for the actress…she already has a daughter that her and Ian had together.

They decided to open up now because of National Adoption Month and National Adoption Day, which is actually today, I beleive. It also sounds like they waited a time to allow their little girl to settle into her new home. They imagine they did not release her name because she will be dealing with enough without the press demanding every detail of her situation. I think it is wonderful that they put their daughter’s need to acclimate to her new environment as the top priority. Nia and Ian have always struck me as a very down to earth couple. I’m so glad they have been blessed with a child.

Off topic but it’s funny that Nia is an anagram of Ian!

Oh this is great news. I loved “My Big Fat Greek Wedding.” And Ian Gomez was on The Drew Carey Show and is on Gary Unmarried, I believe.
