The names of Hugh Grant‘s kids will have you in love—actually. 

The Notting Hill star finally revealed the unique monikers he gave to his 8-year-old and 6-year-old daughters, who he shares with wife of six years Anna Eberstein

Indeed, Hugh openly shared the process behind naming his children, confessing that the name Lulu Danger Grant was hastily picked due to a moment of urgency during her birth.

During his October 29th interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Hugh shared that they decided to name their daughter Lulu Danger Grant, hoping she could proudly share her middle name ‘Danger’ in bars when she grew older.

Regarding his youngest child, a girl? Hugh bestowed the title of namer upon their 12-year-old son, John Mungo Grant, who chose to call her Blue Grant.

Hugh recounted that on their way, they inquired from her older brother about the baby’s name. He responded, “Call her Kevin,” as it was his preferred Minion character name.

Initially, they thought about selecting him but then asked for a different option. He mentioned “blue” because it was his preferred color.

Apart from having striking names, Blue and Lulu are not just known for that. Hugh, father of 13-year-old Tabitha Xiao Xi Grant and 11-year-old Felix Chang Hong Grant with his ex Tinglan Hong, shared that the sisters also donned eye-catching Halloween costumes as the twin ghosts from the iconic 1980 horror film “The Shining”, featuring Jack Nicholson and the late Shelley Duvall.

Hugh remarked, “Lulu and Blue are exceptional at Halloween,” pointing out a particular scene they reenact. “A young lad is pedaling his tricycle, and then two tiny girls who look alike approach and say, ‘Play with us, Danny, for all eternity and eternity’s continuation.’

He mentioned that despite being different in age, his daughters are very similar in size. He then humorously commented, “Apparently, we’ve received feedback asking us to hold off on sending our children to the event anymore.

Grimes clarified on Twitter that he refers to X as an unidentified factor, while Æ, which he spells as Elven for ‘AI’ (either love or Artificial Intelligence), is equivalent to A-12 – a precursor to the SR-17, our favored aircraft.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: Back in 2016, I (Chrissy Teigen) welcomed my precious daughter Luna Simone into the world. During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, I shared that her unique name was inspired by a captivating event that occurred before her birth – a blood moon. “On the night she was born,” I reminisced, “there was a blood moon happening, and it was truly a breathtaking sight. The moon was incredibly large and fiery red, making it an unforgettable experience.

Instead of saying, “Would any other name smell as sweet?”, you could rephrase it as, “Could any other name be as charming?” In this context, the original phrase is expressing a preference or affection towards a specific name (Andara Rose Bowles), and I’ve tried to keep the sentiment while making it more natural and easy to read.

They instantly agreed on “Suri Cruise.” Later, they discovered that ‘Suri’ means ‘red rose,’ making it an added bonus to their perfect choice for their daughter.
