It's another girl for Alyson Hannigan and her husband Alexis Denisof!
The couple are the very proud new parents of daughter Keeva Jane Denisof, born May 23.
A rep for the How I Met Your Mother star shared the happy news with US magazine today, saying that "they are all doing well."
Baby Keeva joins big sister Satyana, who turned 3 in March.
Earlier this year Alyson talked to Celebrity Baby Scoop about her pregnancy and the baby on the way, saying, "I'm feeling tired, but great. We're so excited! Satyana is going to be a fantastic big sister and we're really looking forward to that."
Congratulations to them on their new arrival!

Stupid name, but congrats. Hope this one is as cute as the first child.

stupid ugly name. i don't like satyana either but keeva automatically makes me think of 'keitha', the aussie bogan chick from 'flight of the conchords'

[LynnieD]

Keeva? Fucking what? Guess it could be worse....but not much.


Reminds me of Jenelle's Mom on Teen Mom screaming 'KEEFFAAHHHHH'.....so maybe I do like it.

YES! my first thought too. but i do hate it.

[msdeb]

Keeva makes me think of Skeeva.

[Laurent]

At least she's got Jane to fall back on with this Keeva shit falls through.

[cherrychip]

Don't care for the name, either. Were they trying to go for the phonetic spelling of the Gaelic name Caoimhe?

[Kat Scorp]

I forgot Willow was up the duff; there's been a lack of pics. Weird name.

[Waterslide]

i know it's expected that famous people name their kids unusual things, so I try to keep and open mind in a way, but I don't like Keeva or Satanya either.

If she was going for Caoimhe, why not just go ahead and spell it that way? Sure, no one outside of Ireland is going to be able to pronounce it, but that's not the end of the world imo.

Keeva Jane sounds like a good strain of weed.

[yanna]

I like Satyana's name but Keeva got screwed. It's a horrible name, it sounds like a fruit, or something.

[fgg]

caoimhe sounds like keeva? i would completely butcher caoimhe if i ever tried to pronounce it without knowing better.

[sluce]

Where is her husband from? Are these names that are common from his country of origin?


ETA: Google is my friend and answered my question.

Keeva \ke(e)-va\ - as a girl's name is a variant of Akiva (Hebrew) and Caoimhe (Irish, Gaelic), and the meaning of Keeva is "protect, shelter; gentle, beautiful, precious".

I can't stand either of the girls names. But she seems like a good Mom and her first little girl always seems happy. Congrats to them all!
