Daniel Baldwin Names Child After Car Rental Company
Actor Daniel Baldwin, and his wife, Joanne Smith-Baldwin, welcomed a baby girl earlier today in Los Angeles, according to People.
They named her Avis Ann, according to the gossip site. She is the fourth child for Baldwin, and the first for Smith.
I’m stumped by the name Avis. Either they are naming her for the car rental company, in which case I do prefer it to Hertz, or they really named her Mavis, and an intern at People dropped the letter “M”.
I prefer the second explanation.

Latinized form of the Germanic name Aveza, which was derived from the element avi, of unknown meaning, possibly “desired”. During medieval times the name became associated with Latin avis “bird”.
Er…right. I saw that also. The car rental thing was a joke.
