Movie star Bob Scott has just announced he is expecting twins with wife Zara Hellman. These will be his first kids with Hellman, and his 19th and 20th kids total. After months of global speculation, they gave us an exclusive interview revealing the potential names for the newborns.
Although Scott has gone through the baby-naming process a little more than once, he still makes sure to carefully create each name to mean something significant. The couple has reportedly spent hours upon hours creating lists of names that are close to the heart.
“We really like Slim, middle name Jim, for the boy. It’s a family name,” Scott said.
Jim is the name of Scott’s great-great-great grandfather who helped build the Trojan Horse.
Scott explained that he is a fan of long, empowering names that turn heads. For his daughter, he hopes that such a name will be a source of confidence and pride.
“I want my kids to have names that stand out. When GirlBaw$$ Matriarch is called out in the McDonald’s drive-thru, everyone will know exactly who it is.”
GirlBaw$$ Matriarch is just one of the many names in the running for their baby girl.
Hellman also expressed her love for experimenting with alternate spellings. She’s been taking more common names and putting her own twist on the letter order to make the names more personal.
“We’re thinking XAE_A781. Which is pronounced as Thomas. I’ve always loved those unique spellings that teachers butcher on the first day of school. It gives a person so much power,” Hellman said.
Baby names aren’t the first tribulation the couple has had to tackle together. With a 46-year age gap, Hellman and Scott were immediately met with backlash from the public eye.
“At first I was a little worried by the age gap. My friends and family kept warning me not to marry a 63 year old at 17. But I just told them love is love, and it truly is,” Hellman said.
The couple was introduced by Hellman’s best friend, Celery Ann. Convinced it was love at first sight, Hellman and Scott got married six days later in a cemetery down the street from the gas station where Scott was born. That was two years ago, after Scott met his 11 other wives.
“I like her the most, I think,” Scott said. “Of course my 11th wife wasn’t too happy when she found out Zara and I were dating, but she understood that I was getting a little bored with her after a long 28 days of marriage.”
The couple has taken some inspiration from their unique love story in their baby naming process. One name they’ve been enamored with is Carcass Rhubarb.
“Carcass, of course, for the place where our love was bonded, and Rhubarb as an ode to our dear friend Celery, who introduced me to my Bobbyboo,” Hellman said.
The process of choosing baby names has been a hard one for Hellman and Scott, yet one they have expressed gratitude for.
“We want to take extreme care in choosing the name which our child will have for the rest of their life. Thankfully, if their name doesn’t fit them once he or she is born, we can always change it three years later,” Scott said.
