My daughter – born in 2003 – is also called Satine.

Although the name was used in Moulin Rouge (where I took my wife on our first date – I asked her if she fancied coming round to watch the film and took her to Paris instead) it actually derives from a Hindu goddess called Sati who was apparantly the wife of Shiva who I think killed herself when Shiva died (and some Indian women still throw themselves onto their husbands funeral pyre to kill themselves in an act called Sati).

Anyway, it’s a beautiful and very rare name (which was the point), I added an acute over the letter e on my daughters name but each to their own. Satine fits my Satine perfectly and it has a nice abbreviation too – “teenie” – which also suits her as she is so petite.

Nice to see celebs jumping on our bandwagon anyway hahah.

I absolutely love Gabriel Ive been a huge fan of his forever. I love all his stuff from tv, too movies..I can’t name one thing that Gabriel has done that Ive hated. Congrats on his little girl I know he’ll make a great Dad. I’m somewhat a fan of Jacindas I mean honestly I have nothing against her..but I’m a bigger fan of Gabriel’s sorry. Again congrats to them both on Satine.

Its soo nice to see that Jacinda had a baby! Ive followed her career since The Real World London, Campfire Tales until now and think its perfect timing! Such a sweet beautiful couple, wish them all the best and im sure that Satine is a doll. …(My dogs name is Satine,lol so I love that name)

Satine in french means Gloss…. since i heard it in Moulin Rouge tho with Nicole Kidman i thought it would b a sweet and sexy and cute name to give to a girl. The best names are the ones they can carry into adulthood

Aww congrats to them! I’ve been a fan of Jacinda’s since I saw Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason!

Satine and Anais are such pretty names. But how is Anais pronounced?

I think it’s a beautiful name. I’ve always loved the name Satine, and Anais is my cousin’s name! two great choices!!

Still weird to think of her as an actress, considering I still remember when she was on Real World: London. But congrats to her and her husband on their daughter, Satine.

The baby’s name is different, but I like it.

Love the name Satine!

I love the name! They are such an adorable couple, I’m really happy for them! I like unusual names, it makes you more unique, like your name is just your own. I don’t think the name is too unusual. Satine and Anais are both French. Careful commenting on names from foreign countries, often they are popular and more mainstream abroad than they are here. I remember all the comments on Will Ferrell naming his kid Magnus, but it is a hugely popular name in Sweden, where his wife is from! Understandly neither of them are French, but it’s still a really cute name! Some of those also might be family names.
