That's right, Alanis and husband husband Mario "Souleye" Treadway are now parents of both a son and a daughter! Onyx Solace Morissette-Treadway is also being welcomed into the world by her big brother, 5-year-old Ever Imre Morissette-Treadway.
In hindsight, it's now clear that Alanis Morissette had already given birth when she shared that naked, underwater photo of her pregnant self -- quite the sneaky way to throw people off, right? I think it's lovely their family had a few private weeks alone with their baby girl.
Onyx is, of course, a banded variety of agate with alternating black and white parallel bands -- but I hope I'm not being too presumptuous about the name's inspiration. Alanis is known as a bit of an earthy person, but her baby girl also could be named after the city in California (or Arkansas), a river in the Antarctic, or the pro wrestler Kyle McNeely, who goes by the same name.
Just saying...a few of those seem more likely than the others to have inspired this pair of celebrity parents.
Many thought Jack and Meg White of The White Stripes were siblings, but they actually married in 1996. Jack opted to take his bride's last name as his own, swapping Gillis for White.

Jack and Karen announced their separation in 2011 by throwing "a positive swing bang humdinger."

Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (pictured here with his daughter) also gets points in the creativity department -- choosing to mash up his last name with his wife's. Upon wedding Corina Raigosa in 1987, she and Antonio Villar "meshed" their names into "Villaraigosa."

John Lennon added Yoko Ono's last name to his when they married in 1969. He said of the change, "Yoko changed her name for me, I've changed mine for her. One for both, both for each other. She has a ring, I have a ring. It gives us nine 'O's between us, which is good luck. Ten would not be good luck."

For his fifth marriage, Lorenzo Lamas decided to hyphenate. Upon marrying Shawna Craig in 2011 he changed his name to Lorenzo Lamas-Craig.
Wikipedia notes: This decision was motivated by the fact that his previous wife, Shauna, kept the surname Lamas, and is legally named Shauna Lamas, and Lamas' fifth wife, Shawna, whose given name is a homonym and almost identical to that of Shauna, did not wish to have a virtually identical full name.
