Several weeks ago, actress Alyson Hannigan (of How I Met Your Mother) and actor Alexis Denisof welcomed their first child, a baby girl.
Her name?
Satyana Marie.
How did they come up with it? Here’s what Alyson said:
The root of her name means “truth” in Sanskrit, and we added the “ana” to make it go better with my husband’s last name, which is Russian. Her middle name is Marie after my aunt. We often call her Sati though.
What do you think of the name?
Update, May 2011: The name Satyana debuted in the U.S. baby name data in 2010!
Update, Jun. 2012: Alyson and Alexis have just welcomed a second child, a daughter named Keeva Jane.
