Anne Heche and her boyfriend, actor James Tupper, welcomed son Atlas Heche Tupper over the weekend.
You’ll keep in mind that Anne’s first son (with Coley Laffoon) was named Homer, and I’m going make a huge leap of faith and assume that they named him after the Greek poet and not because Homer Simpson exhibits many of the traits they’d like to see in their progeny. (Ironically, you know, amidst his vices, Homer Simpson never left his wife and family to marry Anne Heche, which is more than can be said for James Tupper or Coley Laffoon.)
The meaning of the term “atlas” actually goes a bit deeper than the maps Miss Teen South Carolina thinks we should send to The Iran. Atlas is an important character in Greek mythology — one referenced, in fact, in one of Homer’s epic poems. In The Odyssey, he calls Atlas as “one who knows the depths of the whole sea, and keeps the tall pillars who hold heaven and earth asunder”.
In previous stories, Atlas is described as a man who got tricked into bearing the weight of the heavens and earth on his shoulders.
For this kid?
I think he’ll definitely end up earning his name.
I’ll wager atlas is the “one who can’t fucking remember the difference between fun daddy, first daddy, real daddy, sane mommy, and alien chasing mommy”.
she should have married harrison ford after six days and seven nights
Atlas shrugged.
I love a girl who can speak mythology
I’m actually sitting in a Greek mythology class right now. No joke. Atlas wasn’t tricked; it was a punishment for trying to bring down Zeus (siding with the Titans). Not that that’s really relevant here. Just an FYI.
so you would understand why i named my second son Phoenix (he looked just like his deceased brother). Most people ask if he was conceived in Arizona
My sympathies. And praise. That’s a really cool name, given its meaning.
Oh lord, that’s horrible. Of course, I would immediately think of Fawkes the phoenix from Harry Potter…of course, he created beautiful music at the end of the sixth book to help people grieve for Dumbledore. So I suppose that’s not bad.
