Fergalicious fergity-ferg Fergie gave birth to her first child with husband Josh Duhamel on Thursday: a healthy baby boy. And when Fergie looked down at the tiny new life she had brought into the world—the perfect, squirming human who would, from now until forever, fill her days with joy and anxiety and excitement and fear and pride and peace and warmth, most of all warmth, simply by being alive—she thought "This baby reminds me of car parts!" and named him Axl Jack Duhamel.

Prior to Axl Jack's birth, Fergie celebrated their intwined lives with three separate baby showers, prompting several low-lying baby areas to evacuate due to flooding.

He weighs 7 pounds, 10 ounces, according to Us.

A jack is technically a car accessory ... or, more accurately, a car maintenance tool. It is not a "car part."

I mean, not to sound pedantic and hair-splitty or anything. But you might consider changing the title to read: "Fergie's New Baby Is Named Entirely After Car Parts and/or Car Accessories/Maintenance Tools."

Don't most cars have them built in now though? I mean it doesn't do it itself but mine came with one that fits into a neat little compartment in the back so it's technically an actual part of the car, right? Clutch Fanbelt would have been a cooler name though.

Yes! Thank you.
I do appreciate the connection Caity made here. Even though I know my way around a vehicle and garage, this probably would have occurred to me later as a small and awesome coincidence. With the spelling, Axl reminds me more of GNR.
Then again, I consider naming a kid after automotive stuff kind of awesome; since I was a wee little girl, I have watched and helped rebuild my dad's '76 Bronco, so I totally think that Ford is a valid entry on my list of names for possible future crotchfruit. Even though Henry was a bit of an ass.
Rock on, Axl Jack.

This seems to be a new trend here: "i don't mean to be pedantic, but i'm gonna". Just relax and enjoy the joke, give it a little star or don't- don't ruin it it for everyone else with your need to value accuracy uber alles. This ain't reddit.
Be remembered for adding to life's experiences. It will serve you IRL to boot. Spread the word.

I read that as "cat parts" and was SO eager to see what they'd come up with. I was hoping hard for Whisker Sandpapertongue.

I also did this, and was ready to welcome Paws Meowington into the world

That's how I read it too!

I also did it, hoping for "Whiskers Tail Paws".

Axl Jack sounds pretty cool though.

But Jack Axl flows a bit better IMO

Tyrant Biggles Remrso 08/29/13 05:37PM

Lug Nut has a nice flow, too.

Remrso Tyrant Biggles 08/29/13 05:43PM

Jack Nut

Boom, we have a winner

Aperturius Remrso 08/29/13 06:03PM

But Jack Axl too quickly would melt together into 'Jaxl', and that's just silly.

Cletus Van Damme Remrso 08/29/13 06:29PM

Jack Axl is a fantastic name for a professional wrestler.

Axl Jack sounds like what Lightening MacQueen eats for breakfast...

Tar Bender Thewalkingdude 08/29/13 05:18PM

apple jacks, terrible name

EyeHeartPie Thewalkingdude 08/29/13 05:30PM

"Axl Jacks! Part of a complete breakfast!"

Polly Jenna Stone Thewalkingdude 08/29/13 07:08PM

A is for Axel, J is for Jaa-aaack!

"MacQueen?" That's not just a character's name you got wrong, it's a famous actor and racer's name you got wrong. Is that like going to "MacDonalds" for a bite to eat?
