Exton?

[lynae]

quoted from MSNBC:
Robert Downey Jr. is a proud papa again.

A rep confirmed that the actor's wife Susan gave birth to son Exton Elias Downey on Tuesday morning. The baby boy weighed in at 7 pounds, 5 ounces and is 20 inches long.

"Everyone is healthy and they couldn’t be happier," People magazine quotes a friend of the couple as saying. It's the first child for Susan Downey, 38.

The "Sherlock Holmes" star, 46, has a son, 18-year-old Indio, from his previous marriage.


So - what do you think? I sort of like it but mostly don't.

I like Elias...

Exton? Hopefully, it's a family name but it's kind of heavy on the trends: it has the popular "x" in it, it ends in an "on" and it's a surname. Personally, I prefer his middle name of Elias. Indio and Exton are kind of strange for brothers but then the years between them and different mothers makes the difference I guess. I had a weird thought when I saw it...if an large elephant or whale got sick and lost weight, you could say that they were an "ex-ton".

I agree completely about Exxon Mobil! That was my first thought. I adore Elias though and would have loved to see brothers Indio and Elias!

Exton Elias sounds pretty cool, because of the X trend. However, Exton is Sexton without the S, and I don't feel that it makes a good name for anyone. Elias Exton would have been better. I really like Elias.

Just heard about this. Exton, well it is different, and I expected something a little unusual. I find it to be quite harsh sounding, although I guess he could be called ex, or x for short which is pretty cool. Not a huge fan I must say, but each to their own :-) I would love to hear the story behind it.

It reminds me of Exxon, as in the gas station. Not a fan. I like "x" names somewhat but it's almost as if celebrities are now trying to see who can come up with the most obscure (or ugly-eek) names! And the nn "Ex" is just awful! Elias is good.

I was kind of disappointed - I really like Indio, but Exton doesn't do anything for me. It's a place name near where I like, so maybe that's why.

Yeah...I don't like the name. But it is better than some of the other celebrity baby names.
