Molly,

Steven Spielburg has a child named Sawyer, but it’s a boy.

I think Steven Spielberg has a daughter called Sawyer

I think it’s funny that all 3 of her kids share a name with at least one other celebrity’s kid. Courteney Cox Arquette has a Coco, Sara Gilbert has a Sawyer, and Melissa Etheridge has a Beckett!

Congrats. Twins are such a blessing. It seems everyone is having them:) Sawyer is a cool name I can see how Moms would want to snag it for a girl! I have a friend named Coco…so it’s not that different to me. I love it.

congrats to Diane, Seung, and Beckett! I hope Lisa Marie has her twins this week.. since lots of celeb babies have come in twos this year (Jessica and Tori’s babies for example) I’d like to see two celebs deliver twins a day apart.

I love the names too. Sawyer is better for a girl in my taste and Coco is really lovely. I might name my daughter that. But how come when Courteney Cox named her daughter that, people were all critisizing and now Diane Farr names hers that way and everybody thinks it’s wonderful?

Wow, she almost went full term and gave birth to some fairly good-sized babies. Counting the twins, that’s four blessings right there!

And I love their names, too. I also have a Trinity in my family. She was just born early Monday morning. But everyone had known her name for the past three-four months now, lol, pretty much from the moment they went and found out the sex.

But, back to the topic, congratulations to Diane and Seung, and new big brother Beckett!

Lauren, on the last twin posting (which was Lisa Marie’s, I believe) I had commented and said that I thought they could tell on ultrasound because of the placentas and sacks and stuff and one mother who is expecting twins commented and said that with the same sex babies, they usually say they can’t tell until after they’re born because the placenta and sack ‘rule’ so to speak doesn’t always apply. After that, I went and did some further research and from what I’ve found out, the only way to tell if you have true identical twins is to do genetic testing and test their DNA to see if it’s the same.

A few articles I read said that you could have babies that are born that look nearly identical, but it really comes down to their DNA to determine whether or not they’re identical or not. I could be wrong and maybe they have new ways of telling, but from all that I’ve read, the only way to know for absolute certainty is genetic testing to compare their DNA.

I too love Sawyer for a boy. So masculine for a girl. Coco is a sweet name!

So– did they confirm if the twins are identical? Or– is that not something they can confirm right away? Can anyone with identical multiples confirm? This is an interesting subject!
