Kendra Wilkinson named her daughter Alijah Mary Baskett: meh or lovely?
It felt like Kendra Wilkinson was pregnant for two years, right? We heard about her second pregnancy constantly. Part of that was because she started mommy-blogging for People Magazine, telling Hard Truths about pooping, hormones and why she doesn’t want to give birth to a “princess.” Anyway, Kendra did give birth to a little girl last Friday. Congrats to her and to Hank! Their newborn daughter has a big brother, Hank IV, who is four-and-a-half right now (yes, that’s true, it’s been that long). I was waiting to hear what Kendra named the girl, and now we know…
Kendra Wilkinson is thanking the heavens for her baby daughter … and it’s pretty obvious from the name they’ve given her. TMZ obtained the birth certificate … and it shows Kendra and hubby Hank Baskett named their baby … Alijah. Alijah Mary Baskett.
According to BabyNames.com … Alijah is an Americanized version of Elijah — which means The Lord is My God. Alijah was born at 8:02 A.M. last Friday in Los Angeles.
Thoughts on the name? I’m oddly ambivalent. I actually love the name Elijah for a boy, just because I think “Eli” is one of the cutest nicknames ever. But Alijah for a girl? Eh. Maybe they’ll call her Allie? Or Ally, like Ally Sheedy. I don’t know. I don’t think I love this. And I actually hoped that Kendra would name her daughter something really normal and Supreme Court-approved, like Elizabeth or Emily.
