Amadeus — Now That's What I Call A Celebrity Baby Name
You don’t hear “Amadeus” on the playground very often.
Tennis ace Boris Becker, and his wife Sharlely (they married this past summer in St. Moritz) welcomed their new baby boy in London yesterday, and named him — wait for it — Amadeus Benedict Edley Luis Becker. That’s what I call a celebrity baby name!
I have no idea why they chose Amadeus, but hopefully we’ll hear more about it in the coming days. Maybe it’s a big name in his native Germany, although I haven’t heard it before even among the German names I’m familiar with. Or maybe Becker and his wife are just big Mozart fans! That’s the storyline I like.
Young Amadeus is Becker’s fourth child — he has been quite busy on that front in other relationships.
