Celebrity BA name change

Owen Wilson and partner Jade Duall have changed their son's name. It is now Robert Ford!

I think that is so much better, but I'm being biased, because Robert is my son's name.

What?!

The flow's nice, and the name is rather handsome...but I'm so upset that he doesn't have Ford as a first name anymore! I loved the idea of a little boy having Ford as his name, whereas Robert is fairly common. However, it's still a great name and I wish Owen all the best.

Did they intend to name him after the man who killed Jesse James, or was it coincidence?

He's named after Owen's father

Robert Andrew Wilson is Owen's father's name.
While I'm not a big fan of Robert, it's better than Ford and gets an extra point for honoring.

Good.

But why didn't they name him Robert in the first place?

Although I do know the tabloids sometimes misreport celebrities' kids' names. They did when Britney Spears had her second son.

The other name was never officially confirmed from them or their rep, so I assume it was just a rumor. Or maybe he looks like his grandfather and they changed their mind before filing a birth certificate.

Lol...

I read this about two seconds after I posted.

I saw comments to the effect that he was named after Robert Ford on other sites, so I thought I'd clear it up. It is possible that they chose the middle name with that in mind, to make it more 'fun'.
Robert Wilson is also the name of a theater director.
