Rebecca Romijn talks about decision to name her daughter Dolly
During a recent visit to The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Rebecca Romijn, new mom to nine-month-old twins Dolly Rebecca Rose and Charlie Tamara Tulip, talked about the decision to name one of the girls Dolly, after Dolly Parton who Rebecca loves.
She told the host, “When I was six months pregnant, I saw her perform. Right before her show I sat with her and she asked me what I was thinking of naming my daughters. I said, ‘I’m thinking about Dolly for one of them’…I was a little bit embarrassed to say it.”
Rebecca continued, “Dolly said, ‘Oh, I would be so honored. Dolly was the name I was given, it’s not short for anything, and I don’t have any children of my own. I would be so honored. Please do it! Please do it!’ Then at the show, she dedicated [the song] “Little Sparrow” to ‘her new friend Rebecca and her little girls.’ And I was like a puddle. A puddle!”
So cool!
