Kelly Rutherford and her son/utility worker, Hermés Gustaf Daniel, 3, make their way home after lunching at Le Pain Quotidien on Tuesday in Beverly Hills, Calif.
The Gossip Girl star, 41, is also mom to daughter Helena Grace, 10 months, with ex-husband Daniel Giersch.
i think it’s funny how her son’s name is hermes (not that wild about “kids that are named after designer brand”) and she has a hermes birkin bag with her!

I love Kelly Rutherford. Her children are so adorable!

I’ve actually always wondered about that, is his name pronounced Air-mez like the label or Her-meez like the god? The designer way sounds a bit… well, each to their own.
- Sophia on
Sophia- Good question. However, I think he WAS actually named at least partially after the greek god, if I’m remembering correctly. 
- CelebBabyLover on
The greek god, people. Not the brand.
- Jette on
I always figured it was after the Greek Gd, which is much better than if he named hm after a brand.
Beautiful child, and a cute picture^^
- sophie on
Silly name either way!!
- Sharon on
I think that Hermes and Helena are very beautiful and classic names

Jette i heard her in a tv interview talking about her kids and she did say her son’s name like the brand. just saying
- maggie on
I wouldn’t be so sure it’s pronounced like the Greek god, based on the accent above the second “e” in his name. My bet is it’s “air-mez”.
- Molly on
I’m glad the general consensus is Greek God rather than label Hermes is actually pretty cute, but “Air-mez” is just ridiculous… I can say it now I know that’s not his name 
- Sophia on
And PS I love the obvious love on Kelly’s face in this photo. It’s so clear in photographs of her and her children just how much joy they bring to her life. I love it
- Sophia on
he looks too cute.
- Luna on
I am not quite so sure about naming him after the Greek God as she often carries Hermès bags and belts…
- Elki on
I always had doubts about his names, but her daughter is Helena (a very important Greek semi goddess, daughter of Zeus) so it’s very possible that her son is name after the god
- marina on
I think it’s a little bit of both. So jealous of her MANY Birkins. Her and Posh. I’d kill for just one!
- Devon on
Kelly has said in multiple interviews that Hermes is named after the brand. Don’t remember if the Greek God plays into it as well, but she is such a huge fan of the brand that it was the main inspiration for his name.
- Lauren on
Funny Lauren, I remember just the opposite, that she said she named him after the Greek God, but that it was an added bonus, that it was the same as her favourite brand. In any case, she does seem too like greek mythology, seein that both her kids have names from it.
