Maya Rudolph's unusual baby name has a sentimental side

She kept it under wraps for almost a year, but we finally know the name that Maya Rudolph and her partner Paul Thomas Anderson picked for baby #4.


TMZ reports that the funny mom chose a name close to her heart for the baby girl who arrived last August: Minnie Ida Anderson. The name Minnie may conjure up images of a certain polka-dot loving Disney character for most of us, but it holds a more sentimental meaning for Maya. She named her daughter after her own mother, singer Minnie Riperton.


The family's newest addition joins older siblings Pearl, 8, Lucille, 4, and Jack, 3.


Did you name your little one after a family member, too?


Little Minnie was born at home, as were Maya's second and third children. The 42-year-old 'Saturday Night Live' alum has revealed, however, that she is actually an accidental home birth advocate.


Speaking of Lucille's speedy arrival, she said, “[A homebirth] was not my plan, but that’s what happened … because the baby came out really fast. Luckily, she just kind of glided into her father’s arms... It was scary, but it was kind of awesome. Hospitals make me nervous because I feel like hospital equals death, like it smells like dead people and weird fluids that pickle people.”


Which other celebrity moms delivered at home? You may be surprised...
