Baby McConaughey Has a Name!

The kiddo’s name is Levi Alves McConaughey. Which is really something of a letdown. I was hoping his name would be more like Gravity Bong McConaughey. Oh well.

Says Matthew:

“Levi was another name for the apostle Matthew in The Bible. They were, in fact, two names for the same person. Our son was born at 6:22 pm, and this particular time represents my favorite verse in the book of Matthew in The Bible: ‘If thy eye be single, thy whole body will be full of light.'”

I guess Levi is actually a very cute name for what I’m sure will be a very cute little boy.

  • Man, that name sucks… might as well have called him “Corduroy.” And when did he get so religious?! What a load of malarky. (couldn’t resist!)

    I suppose it’s a little bit better than “Sunday Rose.” People here are moaning that it sounds too much like Australian “Sunday Roast.”

  • Don’t let Matthew McCounaughey fool you. No religion involved here, people. The baby’s name is after Levi Strauss. Filthy capitalists.

  • I was hoping he’d name him “Six Pack Shakur” you know, for beer, great abs, and gangsta rap. I guess a biblical name will do.

  • I call shenanigans. When MM lost his flip-flop last week when he was making out with all the randoms on his drunken vacation, didn’t he say that the lost shoe said “6:22” on the side? I find it highly suspicious that his son was born at that time, too.

    I’m sad that I know that.

  • Sarah, very interesting… I looked it up (yeah, still bored) and found:

    “Matthew McConaughey went to Nicaragua to surf and ended up partying at a bar called the Iguana, standing on a table and screaming, “I’ve lost by flip-flops,” after which he was seen “resting” in a ditch. Quoth Matt: “I’m STILL looking for my left flip-flop. So if anyone finds it floating around down there (it has 6:22 stitched into the side), please send it my way. There is a reward.”

    Good call.

    He should have named his kid “Nicaguana.” That would have been awesome.

    Anyone have a cure for insomnia? :-(

  • oh Down Unda
    for insomnia, I don’t recommend ketamine
    try midazolam
    but right before hitting the sack
    otherwise you may do funny things around the house
    and remember nothing at all afterwards

  • Of course. A christian name. We all know how Matthew McConaughey is an addict about church. And that’s funny because he is not married!Loooove it ;-)

  • Levi is a great name. I have a cousin and a second cousin (who are not related) both named Levi. It’s a good, solid name. And it is better than ‘Gravity Bong’ :)

  • BTW, Down Unda, try melatonin – found in health food stores or GNC-type stores. It’s a homeopathic supplement that aids in restful sleep. Good luck!

  • I know one levi. And he is the hottest smokingest kid ever. Not only is he going to MIT because he’s brilliant AND was valedictorian at my school two years ago, BUT he is an amazing swimmer. I was on swim team with him, and he broke most of the school records, he swims on the national competitive level. Oh and he did our school musical on a whim his senior year and did incredibly. Sadly, none of that was remotely exaggerated, he’s really that awesome.

  • @ Abbi: How is he able to swim with his cape? That must create massive drag in the water. :-)

    The only Levi I knew was a 5 foot black guy. His feet were so small that the toes of his shoes curled up like an elf.

  • Sara & Down Unda that’s pretty interesting & I you’re right it’s probable BS. However both my kids & I were all born at 3:37am. I think that’s kind-a weird too. So maybe it’s possible?

  • for every pic we see of this guy`s abs , I think we oughta see a corresponding pic of Brit`s vag !!
    don`t wanna see either ever again……but fair`s fair !!
    ..there , I`ve said it .

  • Levi… even though it’s a Biblical name, I just think of blue jeans. Levi Strauss, I mean Levi Alves is better than Sunday Rose I guess. It’s kind of odd that Matthew McConaughey’s baby has a more “normal” name than Nicole Kidman’s baby, I never expected that.
