Ryan Reynolds had a very interesting name picked out for his daughter, but it didn’t get to see the light of day.
Speaking to Canada’s etalk shortly after the birth of his second daughter, Inez, in 2016, the 41-year-old actor said he suggested calling his little girl ‘Excalibur Anaconda’.
Apparently Ryan first proposed the unique name – which, if we’re being honest here, sounds like a spell from Harry Potter – when his first daughter, James, was born in 2013.
Despite having the name immediately shut down by his wife, Blake Lively, 30, Ryan just wouldn’t let it go, and even mixed things up a bit the second time around.

While celebrities think it is funny to plague their children with weird first names, it is these very children who will need to bear them throughout their lives, or change them when they legally can. And I'm sure these same children will not be very thankful to their parents for this.
We all remember the song "A boy named Sue", and how that turned out. And there was this ad recently where a father, surname Murray, wanted to name his son Callam. He thought better of it when he mulled over the various scenarios his son might come across in his life.
So to these hipsters, change your own name if you so feel inclined; leave your child's some to something traditional.
