    Keri Russell's has a new daughter

    named Willa Lou. She and her husband also have a son named River. Not a big fan of the name but I suppose it goes with River.

    I don't mind the name Willa but with Lou there are too many l's. I also think that pairing it with Lou makes this vintage name sound too cartoonish. Something like Willa Jane would have been better.
    All the best,
    Mischa.

    I adore the name Willa Lou SO much. I much prefer Lou to Louise, and I think Willa and Lou accompany each other perfectly. Just gorgeous!

    I don't mind Willa but it doesn't sound right with Lou in the middle...too many L's!

    I agree Willa Lou is a bit childish, but celebrities' children can get away with just about anything when it comes to names. Willa isn't for me but I have been finding myself loving "Lou" lately. I currently have Louanna as a middle name in my girls' top five.

    I love both of these names but not 100% sure I like them together, a bit of a tongue twister trying to say Willa Lou over and over fast.

    I love how River and Willa go together. Willa comes from Willow and Willow trees grow only where there is water. Hence its like saying with out River, Willa wouldnt be here...I think its so cute.

    I LOVE Willa Lou. At first I was pretty underimpressed--I was never a huge fan of Willa (liked Willow more), and Lou is quite nicknamey to me. But it has grown on me by a mile, and it's currently one of my favorite celebrity names (a close runner-up to Violet Anne, Alice Zenobia, and Hazel Patricia!). I think River Russell and Willa Lou are just adorable together.
