I don’t care for the name, but congrats on a healthy baby!

I have always loved that they combined their last names, and *both* of them changed their last names when they got married. He was Jim True, she was Cora Frost, and now they are both True-Frost. That is so cool.

Horrible name! Why would anybody name their daughter Phoebe?

Meghan on August 29th, 2011

I’ve been seeing more and more Phoebe’s lately! This is the third one I’ve heard of this year. I always thought it was an older name but apparently it’s coming back!

Terri on August 29th, 2011

I think Phoebe is very traditional and feminine. It’s sweet. That’s a great family picture.

Just one name away from the characters on Friends!

I LOVE this photo!!! Thank you for posting something REAL.

So many celebrities post pictures of them after birth all done up, make-up, nice clothes, etc. Cora looks REAL and BEAUTIFUL!!

Congrats on the birth of your daughter ~ Enjoy her!

Alivia, why not? It’s a classic with a nice meaning–”light.” It also reminds me of Phoebe Caulfield in Catcher in the Rye. It’s nice.

Congratulations to them!

And I love the name. It would have been hilarious if they had gone with “Phoebe Monica Rachel”, though.

PRESBOOOO

Melinda on August 30th, 2011

Gorgeous name. None of that Harper crap.

J on August 30th, 2011

Alivia, you have nerve complaining about names…lol!

Davida on August 30th, 2011

Awwwwwwwwww! Phoebe looks so goregeous, just like her parents. Way 2 go, Jim!

lily on August 30th, 2011

What a precious photo! They look so radiant and happy to welcome little Phoebe!

@Alivia – to each their own opinion… but at least hers is a “real” name unlike yours! :0)

Alivia on August 30th, 2011

@Lilly — you shouldn’t be talking because your name isn’t that “real” either!

Love the name Phoebe, so cute! Congrats

Mb on August 31st, 2011

I loved him on The Wire! I love the name Phoebe. Wish them all the best.

Sheila on August 31st, 2011

Such a beautiful and lovely family, I’m so happy for them! Alivia, you’re a weirdo!

Anon on September 1st, 2011

I think Phoebe’s a beautiful name, very traditional and pretty. But what difference would it make if I didn’t think that? Surely it’s the parents’ choice, and I’m guessing they love it…

Also @Alivia, how is Lily a made-up name?

Zoey on September 1st, 2011

I wonder if they are Charmed Fans! Leo and Phoebe! haha.
I love Phoebe. It is on my list and so is Leo! I am a Charmed Fan.
Congrats to the family on there wonderful little girl!

Alivia on September 3rd, 2011

I’m sorry for being such a jerk. It is just that I know somebody named Phoebe and she is a jerk

tracy on September 6th, 2011

Aliva..what are you, like 5? That was the most ridiculous reason for being rude I’ve ever heard.

He was an instructor of mine in college and he was fabulous! So glad to see he and his family are doing well! They’re all quite adorable.
