hmmm…I think of ‘lump of lard’. But I’ve heard of Laird Hamilton too, so from now on I’ll try to associate the name with huge waves. What’s with Vonne?

Michelle Anne-
I think it’s pronounced lair-d. Lair as in “the mad scientist’s evil lair”.

Nice name. Sharon seems like a great mom and I’m glad she has another boy to love.

Sorry, When I posted that it was on a different day, not the 12th. It was the day before the whole post was posted.

The only Laird I’ve heard of is surfer Laird Hamilton, who is married to Gabrielle Reece. I like it with his last name, and it fits him, but I’m not fond of Laird Vonne Stone. At least have a two syllable name in there somewhere! According to babynames.com, Laird is Celtic for ‘head of household’. Eh. No one had really heard of Roan when she and Phil named their son. I’m sure she likes it that way.

I think Laird sounds like something out of “Lord of the Rings” or some action hero in a movie. It’s definitely not hip to pick a popular name with many stars.

Yeah, the child is from a teen mother in Texas, who doesn’t know that Sharon is the adoptive mother. Definitely not a surrogate situation.

I read on AOL news this afternoon that she did adopt a baby in a closed adoption and did not use a surrogate. Too bad the reporter confused the two.

FYI to Katie: I think Sharon is divorced now or in the process of divorcing her husband, so doubt the sperm is his.

I’m confused on whether the child is Sharon’s biologically. It doesn’t make much logical sense to me to use a “random” egg and “random” sperm that are not biologically connected to you in any way. If you are going to all the trouble and expense to do this, then why not just adopt a child from a person who is already pregnant and wants to give up her child? There are many children here and abroad who are in need of placement in a loving home.

is it lard like as in butter type stuff or lie ard?
different.but cool.
Congrates to her

Yay! Congrats to Sharon Stone!
