Brothers & Sisters actress Rachel Griffiths has two children, Banjo Patrick, 4, and Adelaide Rose, 2, with husband, artist Andrew Taylor and while many people may consider the children’s names to be unusual, they have a special meaning to the 38-year-old actress.

Adelaide is named for the city, for a character in a Disney movie and for the showgirl in ‘Guys & Dolls.’ And you must know Banjo. Banjo A.B. Paterson. He’s the famous Australianpoet, journalist and storyteller who wrote the song Waltzing Matilda.

Rachel and her husband, who are both from Australia, currently live in the San Fernando Valley in California, and the actress admits that it is making for an interesting accent in her son, Banjo.

Our boy has an accent I would describe as Afro/Carib/Valley or Valley-meets-pirates.
