I actually think Ignatius Martin is horrible! It's just really not my style at all. I love Cate, I think she's an incredible actress and such a stunningly beautiful and lovely woman, but my goodness she chooses weird names for her kids!

I saw that online just a bit ago. I love the name.

I do not care for multiple middle names, but this name is less egregious than most celebrity baby names, albeit a touch awkward and lofty--which could admittedly prove to be more charming than an invented monstrosity.

The one really erroneous attribute to this choice is the way it out-shines the other children's names. The quasi-trendy Dashiell and Roman pale in comparison to the highly immodest Ignatius.

I am not a fan of any of her kids' names, but I do think they are her style and they aren't horrible, just not my style. I think they all go ridiculously well as a set too. It is amazing.

Wow! Right gender, real names- that alone makes up for a couple of other celebrity announcements recently, and Ignatius Martin is just so much fun. Hope he's an Iggy!

I like Ignatius.

Woohoo!

Wonderful!
Ignatius has been a long-time favourite, and it's lovely to see it being used. Dashiell isn't for me but it's certainly acceptable, and Roman is a name I'm a big fan of.

Kudos to her!

It's not my style, but Ignatius, Dashiell and Roman make an incredible sibset!!!!

Congrats to them!
