“When you come up with your kids' names, you think of the worse-case scenario nicknames. We thought, Beckett, that's a classy name! My son comes home, and Dash - first thing - goes, 'Heeeeey, Becky!' Argh. I didn't think, that's a girl's name!”

Daniel Cosgrove Welcomes Son Finnian Jack

It’s baby number four for Guiding Light’s Daniel Cosgrove and his wife Marie. The couple welcomed their first son, Finnian Jack Cosgrove, on Wednesday, March 4th. He joins big sisters Lily, 8, Esme Rose, 6 and Ruby Willow, 3 ½.

Daniel, 38, joined the daytime serial in the role of Bill Lewis in 2002, but left the show in 2005 when his contract expired. He returned to GL in 2007. Finnian will not be the only baby on the Guiding Light set, as Daniel’s co-star Jessica Leccia is currently expecting her first child — due in June — and Bradley Cole welcomed daughter Maya Joan in February.

    Congrats to him and his wife… I must confess when I first saw the pic of him, I thought it was Chris O’Donnell.

  3. Atlanta Private Investigator Says:

    Congratulations!! Finnian – a great Irish name!

  4. Sara Says:

    love him on guiding light!
    and for some reason i like it when stars have bigger families and are happy and successful :)

  5. Elena Says:

    Finnian is what Julia Roberts should have named her boy if she wanted a full name for Finn, instead of Phinneaeaus ;)

  6. Chelsea Says:

    Aww, that’s great! I like the name.

    Elena, I like the name Phineas and I looove that Julia named her son that. Not sure if Julia got her inspiration from it, but I heard it first in the novel “A Separate Peace” and have loved it ever since.

  7. Chelsea Says:

    LOL, well wow, I’m an idiot. I didn’t even see the whole story below this one about Julia’s reasons for her kids’ names!

    ““[With Phinnaeus], my husband wanted to name him Finn, which I quite liked, but it seemed like a nickname…So I said we had to have a proper name, and then we can call him Finn.””

    I still love the name Phinnaeus, though!

  8. Mia Says:

    aw, cute, they have 3 daughters and now a son :) I bet those girls are going to love dressing up their baby brother.

  9. Alex Says:

    I love his name!

  10. Tina Says:

    thats so great:) finally a boy lol, good luck.

  11. Jaclyn Says:

    What wonderful names in this family, all are on our list.

  12. aubrey madeline Says:

    Congratulations

  13. Crystal Says:

    Is it bad that I only think of him as the “duche bag” in Van Wilder? Anyway…..CONGRATS on the new addition to the family!! :)

  14. marie Says:

    Loved him on BH 90210…

  15. Gayle Says:

    Amazing! As someone who is bisexual myself, I find Daniel to be a wonderful role model. We need more guys like him to prove that you can be bisexual, comfortable about your sexuality and a good father.

  16. Marley Says:

    Congrats to Daniel Cosgrove and his beautiful family.

    FYI, Daniel is not bisexual if that is what was implied in the previous comment.
