Brad and Kimberly Name Son Jasper Warren Paisley
 Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic |
Update: Brad and Kimberly have chosen the name Jasper Warren Paisley for their new baby boy, who weighed in at 9 lbs., 10 oz at birth — he was 12 days late!
Warren is after Brad’s grandfather, who gave him his first guitar and encouraged him to pursue a music career.
Originally posted April 17th: It’s another boy for country singer Brad Paisley and his wife, actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley! The couple welcomed a second son this morning, Friday, April 17th, in Nashville, Tenn. A name and further details were not released.
Brad and Kimberly, 37, announced their pregnancy in October, saying they were “thrilled” to be giving 2-year-old son William ‘Huck’ Huckleberry a sibling. In fact, it was Huck who broke the big news to dad, delivering Kimberly’s positive pregnancy test to Brad! “I said, ‘No, you don’t get it. This is really bad for you and I. This isn’t gonna be fun for us for the next nine months. We’re in for it,’” the singer joked upon learning about baby number two.
The baby boy had been set to arrive on April 5th, but being overdue “wasn’t a big deal,” said Brad, 36. “There’s nothing we can do about it. Well, there is, but we’re not doing that. We’re actually probably going to miss these times when things are simple. I mean you can’t put them back!”

I thought they were having another boy. Can’t wait to hear his name. Although I seriously doubt they can top William Huckleberry! lol! CONGRATS!!
April 17th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
Congrats!! see, I said all they had to do was talk about being overdue and she’d be in labor. Congrats to all. I hope people don’t complain about the name. Remember, it’s the name THEY chose.

YAY! Congratulations Paisley’s! I can’t wait to see him! If he looks 1/4 as cute as Huck he will be adorable

I love how Brad says being overdue “isn’t a big deal”. I’m sure his wife thought it was a HUGE deal! I remember feeling so uncomfortable and homicidal when my due date came and went with no baby! lol
April 17th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
Yaay! Great news! Hope all went well.

I’m a bit disappointed…I really wanted them to have a girl. But if they’re happy, it’s all good. I can’t wait to find out his name! I’m sure he’s going to be good-looking just like the rest of his family.

Congrats to Brad, Kim, and Huck.
Glad to hear he arrived safe and sound.
April 17th, 2009 at 6:18 pm
I’m with Shirley. I saw Jimmy Dickens at the Opry Tuesday night and I wondered whether Brad might work Jimmy/James into the new baby’s name if it were a boy. Brad was supposed to be attending a movie premiere tonight in Nashville to support William Shatner. I’m thinking he won’t be going, lol. Congrats to a beautiful family
April 17th, 2009 at 6:26 pm
Congrats to all of you! My daughter is due any day with my first grandson–I’m so happy for you and me!

Congrats on your new arrival. It is so exciting because every baby is so different. We to have welcomed a new baby girl into our family of now eight children on March 15. I hope you are enjoying your son as much as we are enjoying our daughter. CONGRATS CONGRATS
April 17th, 2009 at 8:48 pm
Yay, another little boy! It sounds like the baby’s birth went without complications and that things are good with mum and babe.
I can’t help but wonder why people like Pamela go around saying they are “disappointed” the baby is not a girl.
April 17th, 2009 at 8:56 pm
!!WOOT!!
‘Bout time that baby boy made his appearance
Congratulations to the Paisley family. I have three boys myself. Brad -you aint seen nothing yet…boys are wild little howler monkeys and you will love every minute of it!!!!

April 17th, 2009 at 11:02 pm
congatulations to the 3 of you, i wish you all the happiness with your family. i was hoping it would be a girl , but huck will love his new baby brother , a fan
April 17th, 2009 at 11:19 pm
LOVE Brad and Kim! They are a gorgeous family and the new baby will only add to that! They seem very down to earth. I read in a interview done by Brad that they don’t employ a nanny. That only 1 of them works at a time so that they can spend as much time as they can with Huck.
Congrats to the whole family and I wish them all the best!
April 18th, 2009 at 5:30 am
Congratulations and Best Wishes to the whole Paisley Family! Continued good health to both mother and baby! Anxiously awaiting to hear his name….Love to all!
April 18th, 2009 at 8:15 am
Yay!!! Congrats to the Paisley-Williams family! They seem like such down to earth, nice people, and I am so happy for them. I totally agree on the name Finn! That would be hilarious!
April 18th, 2009 at 8:55 am

April 18th, 2009 at 9:24 am
Congratulations to the Paisley Family! You are a very blessed family.
April 18th, 2009 at 9:36 am
Congratulations!
I like their naming style: a classic first name and a more unusual middle name, so he can have options later in life. Can’t wait to hear what they come up for the new baby!
April 18th, 2009 at 11:14 am
Congrats to the Paisley family! I am going to throw a guess out there, James Sawyer Paisley. James for Little Jimmy and Sawyer for Tom Sawyer.
April 18th, 2009 at 12:10 pm
Amber – thats exactly the name I was thinking! James & William are classic and Huck & Sawyer, too cute.
Love it even though its themey
April 18th, 2009 at 12:58 pm
Congrats to the Paisley’s! I can’t wait to hear the name and see pics of your new bundle of joy. I’m a huge fan of Brad’s and even watch Kim’s show. So glad things went without complications and that he seems to be healthy. Think Huck will be a great big brother. Congrats!
April 18th, 2009 at 1:49 pm
CONGRATS TO THE FAMILY MY THEY ENJOY THE NEWEST ADDITION TO THE FAMILY
April 18th, 2009 at 1:54 pm
Congratulations you guys! Kim, I bet this experience was a lot different than when you played a pregnant wife on Father Of The Bride 2! Huck is such an adorable little boy that I know little brother will be just as adorable. I wish you all the luck in the world!
April 18th, 2009 at 2:11 pm

CONGRATULATIONS! Love, Carlz! BRAD RULZ!
April 18th, 2009 at 3:01 pm
I love it, Snickers . . . I’ve been wait’n on a Paisley. . . how appropriate!
A huge congrats to Brad, Kimberly, and Huck on a precious addition to your already greatly blessed family! I am such a huge fan of Brad’s, in my opinion he epitomizes the heart and soul of what country music stands for and always will. If you haven’t been introduced to his music I highly recommend you give it a listen, even if you aren’t a country fan, it will change your life! And those who are already fans, if you have never heard “When I get to where I’m going” find it and hear it! I first heard it at a funeral and the tears just would not stop falling! Many blessings to the happy family! Kimberly, you are an awesome woman!
April 18th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
the name will probably have the name “Hank” associated with it for Clarence “Hank” Goddard who helped Brad so much. We will just have to wait and see. Congratulations to the Grandparents in Glen Dale, WV as well
April 18th, 2009 at 7:13 pm
Congratulations to Brad, Kimberly, and big brother Huck! I can’t wait to hear his name and see pictures.

April 18th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
Congrats to you both. Kimberly has always been my favorite movie star & Brad my favorite singer, so when you guys got together I was thrilled. People mag asked one time if you could invite anyone in the US to a backyard barbecue, who would you invite and without a doubt, it would be you and your little family. We would never stop laughing and just having fun. I am a grandma of 6 and there is nothing like babies. Congrats again.
April 18th, 2009 at 9:35 pm
Wanted to offer congrats on the wonderful addition to your family. The both of you have touched many lives and deserve the happiness that you of achieved. Feel free to enjoy it to the fullest!!!

Aww 2 boys, congrats to them. I love kimberly, and although I wish we saw more pics of their son, I respect them for being private. Hope to hear the name soon, and eventually see a picture of both boys.
April 19th, 2009 at 3:38 am
Brad, you are a wonderful singer who I could just listen to all day, and I hope those boys have your eye lashes and eyes they are by far so dreamy. Kim you are a lucky lady! I also adore your talent as your role in Jim. I literally had to take the remote from my husband just to watch the show or whatever else you was in. Now look at you both, parents of two adorable healthy boys. We don’t need pics to know that (but you know we’re waiting for them)just look at their parents! Congradulations and a few years from now Brad, give Kim a little girl to complete your wonderful little lovenest. God Bless you all and keep you in His arms of love always.
April 19th, 2009 at 9:44 am
God bless you Paisley’s! Just a fan’s suggestion: how about Thomas Sawyer? Huck always said he was his best friend! Wishing all you the best in health, love, and happiness!
April 19th, 2009 at 10:50 am
Congrats, I have an only child, I was not blessed to have another, she is the joy of my life, I wish you all the happiness in the world children are a gift from god and enjoy everyday with them because it goes by sooooo fast……….
April 19th, 2009 at 11:10 am

Congrats on your new baby! I hope everything went well. I was a few days overdue and I let to doctors scare me into being induced. It was horrible and I ended up with a c-section. I’m glad you were firm and (I assume) didn’t get induced.
April 20th, 2009 at 9:31 am
Congratulations to the happy family! I’m so happy for you.

JASPER WARREN! According to Brad’s website! What a GREAT NAME! LOVE IT Congrats to the happy family!
April 20th, 2009 at 6:10 pm
YAY!!! I love the name Jasper, I’m glad that thanks to Twilight, it’s actually kind of cool now.lol
April 20th, 2009 at 6:11 pm
OMG i love that name!
and Huck too
congrats guys
April 20th, 2009 at 6:11 pm
Aww Jasper’s my 17 month’s name – great choice
Congrats to the family!!
April 20th, 2009 at 6:13 pm
After reading about his grandpa I knew they would name him after him!
April 20th, 2009 at 6:14 pm
Awesome! CONGRATS! I was part of the 12 days late club too!!
April 20th, 2009 at 6:15 pm
LOVE the name!!!!!
Huck and Jasper go together well..:)
April 20th, 2009 at 6:16 pm
i love their name! i’m just a little upset that they stole my faourite boy name:)
April 20th, 2009 at 6:18 pm
I love the name Jasper! It’s one of my favorites.
April 20th, 2009 at 6:30 pm
Great name!! I’m glad they honored Brad’s grandfather who was instrumental in getting Brad into music!! I remember something Brad said after Huck was born about Kimberly not wanting Warren as part of the baby’s name so I’m glad it’s there now!!
April 20th, 2009 at 6:33 pm
Congrats on the arrival of baby Jasper! Loved her on the Father of the Bride movies, not familiar with her hubby as in NZ and not so into the country music as you guys over in US by what I’ve seen, seem to be a lot of popular country singers over there but in the pics of seen and interviews, sound a nice couple. Jasper’s first & 2nd names flow well I think, but as we had a cat by the same name growing up I naturally can’t help but think of him when I hear it! (not that it’s a typical cat name of course a bit unusual perhaps for a cat anyhow!, & their baby and choice of name as like it and won’t care about my old cat). Is just what I relate that name to from personal experience. Having said that, prefer it to Huck (sounds very American so maybe more popular in your part of world of course, geographic trends/popularity and all) or even Casper, eg Claudia Shiffer’s son. Always think of a ghost when I hear Casper as many people might?, can’t help it, don’t mean it to sound rude and no offence to any Caspers or relatives of parents of any out there as people won’t care about my humble opinion anyway! Main thing is they’re all happy & doing well as a family of 4, just reminded me of family pet, pleased baby arrived safely. Sure she’s out he’s out after going nearly two weeks overdue!
April 20th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
I love the name! It fits well with Huck. Congrats again!
April 20th, 2009 at 6:46 pm
Automatically think of Twilight…not that that’s a bad thing, am quite a fan of Twilight!
April 20th, 2009 at 6:54 pm
Well, If I was Kimberly I wouldn’t want my kids name to be Warren William either. Good for them that they waited to use Warren on another baby. Congratulations! Hope they have a girl next!
April 20th, 2009 at 6:59 pm
Aww! I love the name Jasper. I think of Jasper “Jax” Jacks from General Hospital. And for obvious reasons, good things come to mind
April 20th, 2009 at 7:11 pm
Congrats! 12 days late, wow! Huck and Jasper, I like it! I can’t believe he was 9lbs. 10oz. because with Huck Kim carried tiny but had a 7lbs. 7oz. baby so I guess for 12 days late its ok. I can’t wait to see him!
April 20th, 2009 at 7:22 pm
Aww, I love the name! And what a big baby!! The names sound really sweet together! Congratulations!!:)
April 20th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
9lbs10oz!! Poor thing! Love the name they chose.
April 20th, 2009 at 7:52 pm
Jasper & Huck flows nicely. I think his nickname should be Jax (you know you’re a general hopsital fan when… LOL).
April 20th, 2009 at 8:03 pm
SUPER cute name! Huck & Jasper are adorable names together, and very country music. Congrats to the whole family again on a happy healthy new baby boy!
April 20th, 2009 at 8:11 pm
Jas and Huck thats cute. I approve! not like it matters lol
April 20th, 2009 at 8:13 pm
lol GH i luve that show.
April 20th, 2009 at 8:20 pm
Wow that’s one big baby!!
Jasper is cute but it doesn’t sound very country like to me like Huck does, lol. I wonder if they’re going to go with the middle name like they did with Huck (but I hope not cause Warren is very old fashioned).
April 20th, 2009 at 8:22 pm
EWWWWW. . . not really a fan of the name Jasper! Jax would be OK (yeah Im a GH fan). Warren Jasper I would have liked better. Guess it goes with their other name choice of Huckleberry – poor kids.
April 20th, 2009 at 8:32 pm
Funny thing is my cat is named Jasper…..the kicker is, he is a 23 pound cat. Big baby, big cat, both Jaspers
CONGRATS to them!
April 20th, 2009 at 8:39 pm
Aww, cute! I automatically think of the Twilight books (& movie)… however, that’s not a bad thing
All the best to them!
April 20th, 2009 at 8:55 pm
Congrats to Kimberly, Brad and Huck!
I too thought they’d use Little Jimmy Dickens name in there somewhere or Andy Griffith’s but I also figured Warren would be a middle name since Brad’s grandpa meant so much to him.
April 20th, 2009 at 9:00 pm
Oh I love the name! If my little sister had been a boy her name was going to be Jasper.
April 20th, 2009 at 9:17 pm
God Bless you Kimberly, that is one BIG baby! My nephew was 14 days late and was 8lbs 15oz. I love the name Jasper, reminds me of Road to Avonlea. Ha! Congrats to all of them
April 20th, 2009 at 9:32 pm
I automatically think of Twilight as well…but like everyone is saying…NOT a bad thing! LOVE Twilight! and LOVE the name! SO adorable!
April 20th, 2009 at 10:12 pm
LOVE the name Jasper!
April 20th, 2009 at 10:41 pm
Jasper is such a great name!
April 20th, 2009 at 11:47 pm
I wonder if she had a C-section since the baby was so big?
April 21st, 2009 at 12:26 am
That’s not so big. Is that considered big and c-sectionish in America?
Loving the name!
April 21st, 2009 at 12:44 am
I like the name but it doesn’t sound “country” to me at all. It sounds rather British actually.
April 21st, 2009 at 1:05 am
Hea- You’re right. Techinally, 9lbs isn’t that big these days.
Sue- I wouldn’t feel too bad for those kids, actually. “Huckleberry” is actually Huck’s middle name. If he doesn’t like being called Huck or Huckleberry when he gets older, he can just go by his first name, William. As for Jasper, he can always go by Warren if he doesn’t like Jasper!

Hea, I don’t think there really is “too big” of a baby to deliver vaginally, just what the mother can handle. But I might be wrong. A friend of mine who was 100lbs and 5″2 delivered a 10lb baby boy vaginally, so I yeah I think it’s what the mother’s body can handle.

oh man, Jasper is the name we’ve decided on for our baby. We thought we were the only people in the world who had thought of that name! I wonder if we should reconsider now. Hmmm….

That’s funny, one of my best friends had a son 12 days late and he was 9lbs 2oz and he is also named Jasper! Lovely name and bet he is beautiful!

Jasper Warren is one very cool name! I love their naming style! Crongrats to them!

Love the name – congrats to the Paisleys.

My heart goes out to Kimberly. That is a LOT of baby, and she’s not a big woman. Congratulations to them on the new little guy!

My sister-in-law has two children, the first was 9.14 at birth, and the second was 9.15. She gave birth to both naturally. You don’t need a C-section just because the baby’s not 6 pounds!

I was just wondering about the C-section, because like Kimberly, I was very tiny before having my first son and he was also overdue. They induced me because they had determined that he was over 8 lbs and if I waited any longe to have him, I may need a C-section. This also happened to a close friend of mine. She was overdue and the Dr’s thought the baby was too big to deliver vaginally so she had a C-section. I think sometimes when it is your first baby (in my case it was) you just do what the Dr says.

I wondered if she had a C-section, too. I had a baby boy that weighed 10-and-a-half pounds and my other son weighed 9-and-a-half pounds and my daughters weren’t exactly small either: 8 lbs., 1 oz. and 7 lbs., 9 oz. No C-sections.

I think Jasper sounds very country, actually. I think their two boys’ names “go” great together!

Love the name Jasper. It was the name of our first baby — our dog!
After we named him, I felt kind of sad that I didn’t save it for a future son’s name.
Also, my second child (a son) was 9lbs 14oz (3 days EARLY!) and the delivery was faster and easier than it was with my 8.5-pound daughter — no stitches even! I’m only 5′2″ so I think it all depends on your pelvis. Of course the doctors had no idea my son would be that big, maybe they would have encouraged a C-section if they knew? And there is no way I’m going for a third child. Don’t want to be on the local news next time with a 15-pound baby!

What a “normal” name for once! I know a couple Jaspers myself, and funny thing, Jasper is a fabulous park and ski resort in Alberta, Canada! Jasper Paisley sure has a nice sound to it. Congrats to Brad and Kimberly!

Devon – Okay. I live in Scandinavia where, I suppose babies are generally a bit bigger than in some other places around the globe. I’ve read somewhere that Scandinavian people are considered quite tall. Not all of us but some of us.
I’m 5′8, for example.
The reason I’m asking though is that I recently saw a documentary series from an American maternity and delivery ward and they induce and perform c-sections almost every time on that show, which is supposed to be very real and reflect true regular births. Anyway, a baby weighing almost 8 Ibs was considered BIIIG. And he was born by a woman who looked to be quite big. But then again, big doesn’t mean tall… 8 Ibs in Sweden is just your average baby and they seemed to think the little guy was huge.
That’s the reason why I’m asking about this. No judging involved, I’m just curious to know.

I think Don Johnson has a young son named Jasper if I remember correctly. That’s the other time I’ve heard the name Jasper in recent history.

i had my first baby 12 weeks ago and he was 9lb10oz and i had a natural delivery. was hard work because he got stuck in the birth canal but labours not supposed to be easy and we managed it! where i live a c section isnt even an option until you literally cant get them out, its not a pick and choose option! big babies are just the cutest, love having something to grab hold of! congratulations! xx

Congrats to the Paisley family for another wonderful addition! I love they are acting like normal people and giving their son a normal name plus it means something special to them.
