Soccer Star Mia Hamm Welcomes Twin Girls
 Update, March 31, 2007. Thanks to our reader Amy for the update – Mia Hamm’s twins are named Grace and Ava, two very classic names. We wrote about the name Ava recently, in connection with Reese Witherspoon’s daughter. It looks like it might become America’s top girl’s name.
Mia Hamm, the United States womens’ soccer legend, and her husband, Los Angeles Dodger’s first baseman Nomar Garciaparra, welcomed twin daughters today in Los Angeles, according to the Daily Blabber.
Hamm was a star of the U.S. womens’ national soccer team for 18 years. When she retired in 2004, her triumphs included two World Cups and two Olympic medals.
The names of the twins have not yet been released.
