Twin Girls Arrive For Marcia Cross
The twins are here. The much-anticipated births took place on February 20 in Los Angeles, as actress Marcia Cross, star of the hit T.V. show Desperate Housewives, and husband Tom Mahoney, welcomed their new daughters, according to People.
Cross, who has been twice nominated for an Emmy for her portrayal of Bree Van De Kamp on Desperate Housewives, has been on bedrest for over a month prior to the birth.
The girls are named Eden and Savannah.
The name Eden is well-documented, and means “place of pleasure” in Hebrew.
“Savannah,” well-known as a famous city in Georgia, has less clear roots.  One website believes the word, which means “grassy plain,” comes from the Native American word zabana. Another site claims “Savannah” is of Spanish origin.
Roots aside, I give Cross and Mahoney a “thumbs up” for the pair of names. It’s twice as hard coming up with names for twins, and Eden and Savannah has a nice, original ring to it.
