Shaq and Shaunie O'Neal welcome sixth child (6 minutes before Kobe's!)

Shaquille O’Neal, 34, and his wife Shaunie welcomed their fourth child together and sixth total on Monday. Me’arah Sanaa was born at 4:57 am in Miami, and weighed in at 8lbs, 1 oz, and was 21 inches long.

Baby Me’arah made her debut six minutes before Shaq’s former teammate/frienemy Kobe Bryant welcomed his second daughter, Gianna out in California!

I think I like the name, but I’m trying to figure out how it’s actually pronounced.

Congrats to Shaq and Shaunie. ♥

I think is is pronounced (ME-AHR-AH) and Sanaa is like Sanaa Lathan..(Sah-nah)

..Funny Kobe and Shaq (whom don’t like eachother) had babies 6 minutes apart… It is like the Brooke Shields vs. Tom Cruise thing all over again! LOL…
