Edward Furlong of Terminator 2 Fame A New Dad

Edward Furlong, in case the name doesn’t instantly ring a bell, played John Connor in Terminator 2: Judgement Day. John Connor, you may remember, was the kid who was destined to save the world.Â Now you know who I’m talking about. Okay, John Connor (sorry, Edward Furlong) is all grown up now, and he and his wife Rachael Bella (who has appeared in Buffy The Vampire Slayer and other T.V. hits) just had a little boy. And they named him Ethan Page.

Ethan is perfectly fine. It’s a “cool” name of 2006, so nothing to fixate on there. But Page? That’s an odd one. It is a real name, according to my sources, but very rare as a boy’s name. It’s of French origin, and it means, shockingly, Page. As in an attendant, or a page to a knight. And that’s about all there is to it. As names go, it’s about as bland as they come. And maybe once in a while, in Hollywood, that’s a good thing. Way to go, Edward and Rachael.
