Marcia Cross Talks About Her Twins’ Names
Today, at checkout stands throughout the land, Marcia Cross is staring at you from the cover of this week’s People Magazine, saying “I feel so lucky.”
And why shouldn’t she? Those are a cute pair of babies she’s snuggled up with. And the fact that she’s on the cover of America’s top gossip mag can’t hurt her career, either.
But on to the baby name stuff. Cross, who stars as the unflappable Bree Van De Kamp on Desperate Housewives, spills the beans in the People cover story about how she and husband Tom Mahoney came up with the names for their twin daughters, Eden and Savannah, born on February 20.
Cross tells the magazine that she once had a premonition that she would have a child named Savannah. And without knowing this story, before they even knew they were expecting girls, Mahoney emailed Cross and suggested the name Savannah. Cross said it ”gave her the chills.”
Me too. Spooky, really.
So how can you top that one? You can’t. The name Eden came to her, she says, while she was getting a massage.
Okay. That’s more like it. Probably just some subconscious thing, from the Garden of Eden imagery at the start of Desperate Housewives. And it definitely goes with Savannah, somehow.

Well, they are both place names.
My mom had a dream that she had a daughter named Savannah while she was pregnant with me.
