I love jack and if the public didn’t know they were having twins, well now they do. No big deal, it wasn’t gonna stay a secret for long anyway lol

I love how down to earth he is….Seems very nice and genuine.

As far him leaving his wife at home with a newborn and a toddler…lets see…doesnt that happen to TONS of people every day?? I mean the day we broght home our 3rd child my husband went straight to work. I was at home by myself with a 2 year old, a 14 month old and a newborn. Jack was out doing his job just like my husband did.

When we had our 4th my husband was able to tqake off 2 weeks to stay home, but I also had a C section that time.

I guess I saw so many pictures of him and Angelina that it seemed a long time.

And my brain boggles at the thought of two transatlantic flights in two days. I’d be a zombie!

Jamie Lynn Spears was named after her dad (Jamie) and mum (Lynne).

Sanja- I think he was already home when she gave birth. During the same interview he said the baby was due any day now. He was probably only there for a day or two, he only attended one premiere. Michelle Williams was in Cannes for 48 hours!

I love Jack Black. My hubby and I met him when I was newly pregnant with my twins. Very down to earth guy. Congrats on the newest edition!

On a sidenote: my father in law was the youngest of three and a surprise baby. He was named after his father AND grandfather. Two generations later, my son is the fifth child to carry the name.

Jack I CARE about your babies

I love him, he is soo funny and he seems to be so down to earth.

My friends named their second son after the dad as well. It was because they only had one boy name and one girl named picked out that they REALLY loved. The first son got the boy name. If they have another son they’ll name him after a grandpa or an uncle.

It wasn’t that the first one wasn’t good enough, obviously, but many parents have names that they have loved for years and the first child usually gets that one and after that they can honor someone else with the name.

I hope that makes sense.

I do know of another family where the second son was named after the dad and not the first. In that case the first son was named after a close friend of his dad’s that had died recently. So maybe Samuel is named for someone else. In either case they’re both great names, I have a baby cousin named Jack and I love the name.

I don’t get it! Did she give birth while he was in France or did he leave her with a newborn and a toddler while he promoted a cartoon?

Lilybett -I know a lot of people that have a younger son named after the father.
It’s usually because:
A) the first son is named after the grandfather(s) / uncle, etc.
B) people who only want two kids usually have one girl and one boy name picked and then don’t know what to do when they have two sons (or more) and unlike me aren’t into names, so this is just easier

And as someone mentioned in an earlier post, Jack’s real first name is Thomas and Jack is his middle name and might be honouring someone else entirely.

Re: Lilybett’s comment, I always found it peculiar that JonBenet Ramsey was named after her father (John Bennett Ramsey) and their older son was not.

I wonder if Samuel Jason is named after another prominent family member. Do we know?
