Country singer Brad Paisley and actress Kimberly Williams have two sons.
The first one, William Huckleberry, was named in part for Huck Finn.
But the second one, Jasper Warren, has a name story I like even more. His middle name comes from Brad’s grandfather, the person “who gave [Brad] his first guitar and encouraged him to pursue a music career.”
Very cool tribute. Reminds me of the story behind Kiefer Sutherland’s first name.
I’m assuming William is for Kimberly’s family (Williams), so a nice mix here of family and quirky names.
I figured that too about William, though I couldn’t find a source stating it explicitly. (Seems like something they’d want their publicist to mention…?)
