his last name is not white so why would the kids be that makes no sense
Sarah’s note: I had always thought Gillis as well, but apparently he has changed it (or at least given his children that name) according to the rep.

jack was married to meg white, his band mate. so he kept her name after the divorce.

I love the name Henry and I’m very happy for them. Still, I’d been sort of hoping their new baby would be named Reid or Russell or something else that means red.

Henry Lee is a name of a Nick Cave duet he sang with PJ Harvey – wicked song.
Henry is a lovely name and it fits really well with Scarlett.

Henry is an old fashion type name, but at least it’s normal. It’s becoming popular with celebrity children lately too. Julia Roberts, heidi klum, rachel weisz, now jack all have sons with the name Henry.
