Matthew McConaughey Rings In New Year With Baby Vida

McConaughey Baby Not Named After A Beer

Sanity prevailed this week as Matthew McConaughey did not get his wish, and name his baby boy Budweiser.

Instead, the first child for the actor, 38, and his Brazilian model girlfriend Camila Alves, 25, is named Levi. He was born on July 7 in Los Angeles. McConaughey has explained that Levi is another name for Matthew, the apostle.

The name Levi is a Hebrew name meaning ‘attached to’ or ‘attendant upon.’ Levi was the third son of Jacob, and his descendants became priests serving in the temple in Jerusalem.

It’s a far cry from Budweiser!

Submit Your Ideas For Matthew McConaughey Baby Name

Does Matthew McConaughey really want to name his upcoming son Bud, after Budweiser Lite? Probably.

Will mom-to-be, Brazilian model Camila Alves, let it happen? I don’t think so.

Is Anheuser-Busch, maker of Budweiser (the King of Beers) loving this? For sure.

With the McConaughey baby arriving possibly in July, it’s time to guess what the the newborn’s name might really be. It won’t be Bud!

I’m in favor of naming him Suds. Let’s hear your ideas!

Will Matthew McConaughey Choose A Beer Name For A Baby Name?

Matthew McConaughey PhotoIn a move that you would expect from a bunch of frat brothers circa Animal House, Matthew McConaughey is said to be in favor of naming his upcoming son, expected in July, after his favorite beer.

Fortunately for the kid, McConaughey’s favorite brew is not St. Pauli Girl.

UPDATE: McConaughey and Alves welcomed a son on July 7 — and named him Levi. Sanity prevailed.

The high-testosterone star apparently loves to chug a Budweiser now and then, so his name of choice for the baby is Bud. It’s reported that his older brother Michael named his second son Miller Lyte, so there is a real family tradition here.

On the upside, mom-to-be Camila Alves, a Brazilian model, is apparently not enamoured of the “Suds r Us” school of baby names. She is said to be averse to the choice, and will be pushing for a more traditional name.

Be honest, who likes Bud for McConaughey’s baby name?
