That’s so exciting…Let’s hear the names!
3. Sharrie | June 23rd, 2009 at 4:13 pm
Congrats to the happy family and best wishes….
4. Kelsey | June 23rd, 2009 at 4:36 pm
I just read the names on People.com and I am not a fan! Apparently the names are Marion Loretta Elwell and Tabitha Hodge Broderick.
5. alexa mackenzie | June 23rd, 2009 at 5:00 pm
Marion Loretta Elwell Broderick Tabitha Hodge Broderick I think the twins names are lovely. Unlike the other celebrity twins recently born Dolly Charlie Rex Juno Max Bob John Gus Jax Jaid Journey Jesse D*Lila Star Jesse James
6. alexa mackenzie | June 23rd, 2009 at 5:13 pm
off topic but I think the worst celebrity girl name is Jagger Joseph Blue Goldberg. poor girl
7. Lurker | June 23rd, 2009 at 5:49 pm
Not especially fond of the names, but really do prefer them to some of the other names celebs have named their babies! I don’t think I even NEED to name names! ;o)
To me their names seem more “old school”..Marion, to me, is very old sounding. Maybe not so much Tabitha, but still a name you don’t really hear much these days. (OT but anyone besides me remember Tabitha from Bewitched a billion years ago?)
I would bet the names are from the family somewhere, just like their son James.
In any case, congratulations to the family and I wish them all the best!
8. Janie | June 23rd, 2009 at 6:17 pm
I do not like the names at all!
I thought these 2 were getting a divorce?
9. fennie | June 23rd, 2009 at 6:20 pm
I instantly remembered of Tabitha from bewitched!!!!
;)
10. Jem | June 23rd, 2009 at 6:57 pm
I like Marion (sounds good with my welsh accent :P) Tabitha is OK, but I would name a cat that, not my kid lol. Still nice though.
OT: How many Jessie James’ are there in Celeb World? girls and boys. It’s awful!
11. Lauren | June 23rd, 2009 at 7:25 pm
Congratulations to the expanding family! I’m not a fan of their names but who cares.
12. Claire | June 23rd, 2009 at 8:02 pm
I have always actually loved the name Tabitha. :)
13. Alex | June 23rd, 2009 at 9:08 pm

On SJP old show Sex and the City. Didnt Charlotte marry Trey Hodge who’s last name is the middle name of SJP baby?
Im not a big fan of the names but at least they will not get teased in school for having a strange name!
16. Val | June 23rd, 2009 at 10:23 pm
They will probably still get teased by their Hollywood friends for having ‘real people” names.
17. nicole | June 24th, 2009 at 12:22 am
wow
their name is so long
I think there will be better
Marion Broderick
TabithaBroderick
18. foxy | June 24th, 2009 at 4:58 am
cant say i like Marion my grandmother inlaw is called it and shes like 75yrs old!
I like Tabitha tho. Congrats to them!
19. Jello | June 24th, 2009 at 5:29 am
I am confused. Does anyone know why she didn’t have her own pregnancy? Just wondering.
20. Chocolate Wonder | June 24th, 2009 at 8:10 am
I like Marion, and Tabitha! They are lovely names, Not weird like today’s Names, and Congrats!
Only one thing: CHANGE THE HAIR, MATT!
21. Amanda | June 24th, 2009 at 10:12 am
Why didnt she carry her own children?? I dont think I read why she had a surrogant. I don’t like the names either but they are a great couple as well as great parents.
22. Joanne | June 24th, 2009 at 10:45 am
I don’t like the names, but I read that they are family names in SJ’s family.
Congrats to them all! They seem like one of the most down-to-earth celeb families.
23. Karen Browning | June 24th, 2009 at 11:09 am
Candi, Charlotte married Trey McDougal. That same actor plays Orsen Hodge on Desperate Housewives, so that’s probably what you’re thinking of.
I don’t like Marion, but I love Tabitha. I’m glad they picked normal names, unlike a lot of other people. I thought Marion was more of a boy’s name though?
24. Ellie4 | June 24th, 2009 at 11:24 am
I read an interview, apparently they’ve been trying unsuccessfully for a few years now to actually carry a pregnancy, sounded like SJP has had a few miscarriages.
25. KayG | June 24th, 2009 at 12:45 pm
I don’t really care for the names either, but names are a very personal thing. You can’t please everybody. Marion is a very pretty southern kind of name like someone on ‘Gone with the Wind’ and Tabitha reminds me of a cat. She’ll probably get the nickname Tabby. If I had twins I would name them Cuyler and Emory, but I’m sure there are lots of people who hates those names too!
26. denise | June 24th, 2009 at 1:00 pm
congrats to them, can´t wait to see pics of the girls. they seem like a sweet family and i wish them all the best.
the names are ok. don´t love them, but definitely don´t hate them.
27. anonymous | June 24th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
What? Nobody’s said she’s too old to have babies? I’m shocked. Good her her! I love the names.
28. oriana | June 24th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
Not crazy about the names, or this family. He is such a Sissy and creepy looking to me, dull as a dill pickle! Hope she isn’t grabbing at straws with these babies to save a failing marriage. I do wish them luck and hope they are happy and it all works out.
29. lily alexa | June 24th, 2009 at 11:11 pm
I like the name marion not to common in celebrity land. like the names ava lola . nor is weird name like apple zuma bronx poppy honey petal blossom rainbow.
30. sharrie | June 25th, 2009 at 7:04 am
the names are ugly…but hey, you can’t please everyone. At least they are not as outlandish as Moon Unit, Dweezil, Moxie Crimefighter (!!!) and Huckleberry. Those parents need a good slap alongside the head.
31. Anna | June 25th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
They’re not as bad as a son named Peanut (the son of one of the General Hospital actors). Or Apple!!
32. Jules | June 25th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
These names are horrible. Right up there with Hazel and Phinneus. Did the surrogate give birth to 2 80 year olds or 2 babies? The minute I was old enough to know better, I’d be like “Thanks for the Grandma name, MOM!!”
I had such high hopes for these names because I am a big SJP fan and thought she would have picked something really stellar. Instead we get Nana and Grandma.
33. Jules | June 25th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
And by the way, the first names are NOT family names, only the middle names are. So there is no excuse.
34. Candi | June 25th, 2009 at 10:54 pm
23. Karen Browning-
Oh yes Trey McDougal. Thanks.
I still dont like the names at all.
35. violetsky | June 28th, 2009 at 5:03 pm
The names, might be out landish to Americans.
But in the UK they are considered normal … at the moment the Brits are going ‘vintage’ in how the name their kids.
In the last two weeks 3 friends of mine have given birth to ‘vintage’ named children:
Sidney Lucas, Martha Ruby and Douglas Nicholas
