Céline Dion Names Her Twins!

Shortly after Céline Dion's double dose of baby came riding out of her womb on musical notes, her rep said that she needed some time with her husband René Angélil to come up with names. So Seeeeeelean sat in a darkened corner in a room in her Florida castle and held her twins tight while humming softly until a pair of names came to her.

Now, I was hoping that just like she did with her son René-Charles, she would give her twins names that make them sound like European gigolos who masquerade as counts to steal priceless gems from horny old rich ladies. I also was hoping that she'd at least throw a René in her twins' names so that one day they can form a family group called Céline and the 3 Renés. But no, Céline and René Angélil have named their twin boys Nelson and Eddy. instead Their names have nothing to do with Nelson Eddy. People explains:

The name "Eddy" comes from Eddy Marnay, who produced the singer's first five records. "He was like a father to her," says Dion's rep. "Eddy is a major influence in both Céline and René's lives."

Nelson is named after Nelson Mandela, whom Dion met two years ago while kicking off her world tour in South Africa. "René said that in just the few minutes they were able to spend with him, they were impressed by the human being he is," says the rep.

"Céline and René want their children to be inspired by their names, because they were so inspired by these men,"

Okay, but couldn't Céline put a little sparkle on it. You know, make the name kick you in the tonsils. Put a thrust on it. Saying their names should make you want to reach for a bag of Ricolas. Like Nélson and Éddy. There, that's better. See the different an accent makes!

I wanted something French from her. I wanted a Jean-Luc and a Jean-Paul. At least name the twins Rene-Nelson and Rene-Eddy. Give them that French flair we have come to expect.

That picture, right there, sums it all up about the kookie that is Celine.

It could of been worse. She named them after people that meant something to her.

Well at least she named one of the babies after one of her sugarpepaws. She's always been into older men.

Are we sure Eddy is not named after "Eddie" from AbFab? 'Cause that would be cool, and a worthy inspriational name. In fact naming the twins Eddie and Patsy would have been excellent.

They could have done alot worse than Nelson and Eddy:

Antwauwn-Rene, Shavaughn-Rene, Lafawnduh-Rene or Jermajesty-Rene

Rumer, Tallulah or Scout

Egypt or Apple... and so on...

I really can't complain about these names although it is interesting that all other family names are super French and these two names are ordinary and not very French (reminds me of when Kathy Griffin said "Celine Dion decides from minute-to-minute how *French* she's gonna be").

I'll have to remember to call Celine Dion the next time I come home from the pet shop with twin hamsters that need cute, go-together names. She's got a knack for this sort of thing.

It amazes me the way new parents blow off any comic references with some ditzy rationale--"and we were very close friends with both Adolf Smith and Hitler Jones, so naturally…"--as if their newborns will have such clout that everybody will forget about the matchy-matchy unfortunateness.

With that in mind, I've decided to take on the task of keeping Nelson Eddy's memory alive.

BabyJane, you don't really think Mimi will deign to have HER baby take the sperm donor's name do you?

CokeyBloke's picture

Sorry, but I don't buy that they had to figure it out after the behbies were born. It would be one thing if they wanted to see the little buggers first to see the if the names fit, but they were naming them *after* people, so it doesn't matter if the name fits the face (and we all know newborns look like monkeys anyway).

If you don't have names picked out by your 7th month, you're loco en la cabeza.

No Rene-Rene? I'm tres disappointed.

Snowy, me too! I grew up in CT where it was pretty whitey and we knew about two Jewish families. The most ethnic people we knew were Italian. Oh, and the "boat people" (Cambodians) that the church people sponsored.

When I came to NY, I learned a lot about people, ethnicity and names. My kids are going to grow up knowing things I didn't learn until my 20s!

Hekki I know, I was surprised when I met my first PRican, Nelson, I thought it was just a name for old Brits

Too bad she didn't name them "Bela" and "Lugosi". Celine could have started a trend to name your twins after dead movie stars. It was disappointing to find out the real reason behind the names.

Also, I know THREE Puerto Rican men named Nelson. It's popular there. After Admiral Nelson.

Hekki's picture

Not after Nelson Eddy? Because that's the first thing that popped into my head. But I'm Old.

They should name them grandchild 1 and 2. She looks so old to be a mother. It is not natural.

Datura's picture

Eddy and Nelson? Mais non...

The thought behind the names is kind of cute. I dig sentimental bullshiz like that, but both names are so plain yogurt. I was waiting for Charlemagne-René and Napoleon-René.

Actually, I was hoping they'd have girls. Could you imagine the amazing flowery names Céline would have chosen? It would have rivaled Mimi.

At least they are not freaky names.
But enough Celine! You have three kids now. Stop financing IVF all over the country and shut it down.
You've got enough. You've proved you are a better woman. Now please PLEASE go back to Quebec and go away.

Thank you.

Really, has a kid ever truly been inspired by his or her own given name?

what? no Frere and Jacques? Dromez and Vu?

They're simple names but, when the parents say them, they'll sound like ey-DEE and nel-SONNE.
