catrox14 December 4, 2016 Share December 4, 2016 I was thinking about the names and maybe these aren't their actual names but more like public names. I mean if I were a celebrity, I'm not sure I'd disclose my children's actual names. Just a thought Link to comment
MysteryGuest December 4, 2016 Share December 4, 2016 (edited) I don't know. I'm pretty sure these are their names. I've certainly heard worse. After Justice Jay, it stands to reason they wouldn't go with names that were too traditional. I'm wondering if their middle names might be family names? Jensen is supposedly going to the convention tomorrow, so we may get more details. I'm laughing to myself because Jensen told a story at a recent con about discussing possible baby names with JJ, and her reaction to one of his suggestions was "how about...no". I wonder how she reacted to these names? Oh well, these kids will be loved, so that's really all that matters. Edited December 4, 2016 by MysteryGuest 1 Link to comment

Demented Daisy December 4, 2016 Share December 4, 2016 My husband just suggested that Jensen must be contractually obligated to name his children after CW shows/characters/ideas. ;-) Justice -- the DC shows/Justice League Zeppelin -- Dean and his Led Zeppelin love Bram -- Bram Stoker and vampires/Supernatural/The Vampire Diaries Arrow -- obvious Rhodes -- Stephen Amell's WWE rival 3 Link to comment
Aeryn13 December 4, 2016 Share December 4, 2016 I think just Bram and Rhodes or maybe as middle names with more common first names wouldn`t have raised so many eyebrows. Admittedly, `those are not my kind of names either but then, those are not my kids. And the most important thing is that both mother and the babies are healthy and doing well. Congratulations. 2 Link to comment
MysteryGuest December 4, 2016 Share December 4, 2016 Jensen has made comments about his own name, and how he liked that fact that it was unique. And Elta Danneel isn't exactly run-of-the-mill either, so I guess it's not too surprising they went with unusual names. Now that the initial surprise at hearing them for the first time has worn off, they're kind of growing on me. 1 Link to comment
ahrtee December 4, 2016 Share December 4, 2016 (edited) Definitely unique. I'm just picturing Danneel standing outside the house yelling "Zeppelin! Zeppelin Bram Ackles, you get inside right now!" I'm not sure how well the names will go in Texas, especially in elementary/middle schools. In LA, no problem. (Does this mean when Jared visits, there'll be Zep and Shep?) But I'm glad everyone is happy and healthy! I was thinking of Kim Rhodes for Arrow's middle name. Edited December 4, 2016 by ahrtee 2 Link to comment
catrox14 December 4, 2016 Share December 4, 2016 At the SFcon this morning Jensen said Zeppelin (the boy) was named that because his umbilical cord was wrapped around him like as zeppelin bend knot. As to Arrow (the girl) they wanted an A.A. name and both Jensen and Danneel liked Arrow.

I watched the con video and he said it was a last minute choice. The babies were due next week and they came early. He said it just kind of came up after Zeppelin was born. Arrow was one they had been considering already but Zeppelin, was after he was born. Jared said Shep wasn't named until after he was born. Link to comment

MysteryGuest December 5, 2016 Share December 5, 2016 There are some seriously nasty people on social media. I know it shouldn't surprise me, and I'm sure it's only a handful of people, but it never ceases to amaze me just how vicious people can be when they think they're posting anonymously. I have read some pretty terrible stuff about Danneel today, and it's mind-boggling. It's not even worth repeating here, because it's not the first time I've seen this sort of stuff, but considering she literally just gave birth to two babies, you'd think people could knock it off for at least a day. I hope these guys never read this shit. Link to comment
catrox14 December 5, 2016 Share December 5, 2016 I haven't seen much about Danneel but I am seeing folks bashing Jensen for going to the con. He explained since he only has to work on Monday and then he'll be on a break after that he decided to do the con. So weird. Link to comment
Bessie December 5, 2016 Share December 5, 2016 I would never bash him for it, but I admit I thought it was an odd decision to attend the con after his wife just gave birth and he's got a 3 year old at home. But you know what? If I were in his position I don't think I'd want to give up an easy hundred grand when I'd be home in a couple days. So, looking at it that way, it makes sense. Link to comment
MysteryGuest December 5, 2016 Share December 5, 2016 He explained that Danneel is still in the hospital, and that she insisted he go. The reality is that their lives are different from ours. While I'm sure he would prefer to just stay home with his wife and children, he also realizes that people have paid their hard earned money to see him. And he knows that Danneel is surrounded by family, friends and probably hired help, so she, the babies and JJ are being more than well taken care of. In fact, she's probably sleeping as much as possible while she can. But even once she comes home, they can afford to have as much help as she feels she needs to manage two babies and a toddler. It's a nice problem to have. 8 Link to comment

It's a nice problem to have. IA. And while people would be absolutely understanding, many people spend a long time saving money just to attend a single con. Imagine if you were a huge Dean fan and you lost your one opportunity. I'd say Daneel was very generous with insisting he goes and from a logistics perspective it makes a lot of sense (quick two day vice one day trip). He's halfway to Vancouver in SF. What's interesting to me is that they had apparently already planned on him being out this week (with them only scheduling 1 day for J2). So that's nice. I think they may have one more week of filming and then 4-5 week break. Which is really good timing. 4 Link to comment

The city of Austin was named in the 1800s after Stephen F. Austin, the "Father of Texas", and is a fairly common last name. It is also not unusual for family names to be used as first names. 1 Link to comment
catrox14 December 5, 2016 Share December 5, 2016 (edited) Bram and Rhodes are actual names as well. The kids could go by those names if they chose. Much like they do with Shepherd.

auntvi December 5, 2016 Share December 5, 2016 My point was that Austin is a people name not just the name of a city. Doesn't matter, it's all speculation anyway. 1 Link to comment
catrox14 December 5, 2016 Share December 5, 2016 Many personal names are derived from places where folks lived and those places are not always named after people, surnames especially or even after the occupation of a person.Some surnames are used as first names instead of a first name. Naming conventions are interesting to me. I thought Jensen might have been joking about the names not because I thought they were awful names or Jensen was being a douchey celebrity or that they picked random nouns as though they gave no thought to the names at all. I thought Zeppelin could have been an homage to Dean Winchester and any SPN fan would immediately think of Dean but I really didn't think Jensen was THAT attached to Dean, hence why I thought it might be a joke. Once he explained how he got the name, I was touched and then felt like a jerk for thinking it was a joke. As to Arrow, I thought it might be a joke because of the boys friendship with Stephen Amell Goodness knows, I'm the last person to judge names since I have a pretty rare last name and one has to be cautious as to what first and middle names you pair with it or it becomes pretty damn hilarious and awkward. I have a somewhat uncommon middle name but a totally common first name. I tried to go by my middle name in junior high because my first name is ordinary but that never took. To me unusual names are not indicative of bad or egotistical parenting. In any case if my comments came across as judgment towards the parents or mocking of the names that was not my intention and I apologize. 1 Link to comment
SueB December 5, 2016 Share December 5, 2016 As an owner on one of the most BORING names on the planet... I'm okay with something different. It's much more different than I'd pick, but it's got potential. Mine just lies there. Like a dead fish on the dock. Which has stopped flopping. Hours ago. 2 Link to comment
