Jeremy Sisto finally names his 2-week-old son: Bastian Kick Sisto

Two weeks ago, Jeremy Sisto and his wife, Addie Lane, welcomed their second child together. They were already parents to 2-and-a-half year old daughter Charlie-Ballerina, and this time they welcomed a baby boy. The boy went nameless for two weeks, and then Jeremy announced the boy’s name on Twitter last night: Bastian Kick Sisto. I’m sure Bastian Kick will end up with poor Maple Syrup Bacon.

The Suburgatory star and wife Addie Lane welcomed a son on Friday, March 9 in Los Angeles, his rep confirms to PEOPLE.

“Unnamed boy is healthy as is Mom. Thanks for your wishes,” Sisto Tweeted, jokingly adding, “Don’t tell my wife I had two glasses of wine while she had an epidural.”

Sisto, 37, announced in December that Lane was expecting their second child, who joins big sister Charlie-Ballerina, 2½.

“Just bought a teddy bear to give to my daughter ‘from’ her newborn brother,” he writes. “Considering drizzling some placenta on it for believability.”

When it comes to naming their son, perhaps the couple will hit the books as they did with their daughter.

“My wife went through the dictionary, page by page, looking for words that weren’t normally names,” the actor explained about how they came up with Charlie-Ballerina.

For now though, baby boy remains nameless.

“We got an extension at the hospital, but on Friday we do have to go down and put something in,” Sisto explained Wednesday while appearing on LIVE! with Kelly.
“If we don’t have it by then, I think it’ll be ‘Baby Boy’. We’re going to be filing extensions for a while. If naming babies is anything like doing homework, then it’ll take [me] a while to name this kid.”

All jokes aside, “My wife is stressing about it,” he admits. “I’m hoping something magical happens — [something] that makes me think, ‘Of course this is supposed to be his name.’”

The actor and Lane tied the knot in October 2009 at City Hall in New York.

Update: “Little man finally told us his name: Bastian Kick Sisto,” the actor Tweets.

[From People]

I looked it up, and “Bastian” is a somewhat legit baby name these days – as a derivative of “Sebastian” I’m assuming. Other suggested baby names (suggested when I looked up Bastian): Grayson, Rex and Vincent.

So, where does “Bastian Kick” fall in the scope of weird celebrity baby names? Probably right up there with Charlie-Ballerina (I still don’t get the hyphen). Will his nickname be “Bast”? “Kick”? BK? Hmm…you know what Jeremy calls his daughter? “Chuck.” For real.

One last thing – a few weeks ago, Jeremy Sisto did Us Weekly’s “25 Things You Don’t Know About Me,” and it was absolutely charming and worth a read. It made me like him even more, but he does come across as rather hippie-dippy. With a daughter named Chuck and a son named Bastian Kick, how could he NOT be a hippie?

    Does anyone else love SUBURGATORY like me? Such a funny show and it keeps getting better. The last episode with Robin Givens as guest was hilarious.

    • ClumsyMe says:

      Yes!!! I too love that show, unfortunately I’ve missed it for the past two weeks. 🙁

    • Lipsy says:

      It’s been really growing on me! I love it… Robin Givens, h- yes! Plus I can’t help but really like Dallas… as orange as she is, she is sucha sweet character.

  2. bea says:

    Sounds like a command more than a name.

  3. Steph says:

    I don’t mean to be rude, but what’s up with all these weird Hollywood names? I know some will say “aw that’s unique”, but I just don’t get it. Plus ‘Bastian’? Sebastian would of been just fine. Am I the only one who thinks like this?

    • Lukie says:

      Dude, I am still stuck on Charlie-Ballerina!

      Wtf is in the water these celebrities drink? I would hate my parents guts for that one.

      But to answer your question, no. it is definitely not just you…

    • Tapioca says:

      Bastian is a strong old German name in its own right, although now more associated with The Neverending Story, while the “Kick” makes sense if he was really active in the womb. I have no problem with weird middle names.

      CharliehyphenBallerina, however, is in Audio Science/Moxie Crimefighter-territory. Drop the “-“, though, and it’s actually quite cute!

      • Katren says:

        I really hate both names! Kick is awful, even if that is the reason, why does it have to be his name? Charlie is cute, but I also hate Ballerina. You’re right, it definitely wouldn’t be as bad without the hyphen (I wouldn’t quite go to cute though!)

        I may be biased against this name, my Grandpa would always say “little Bastians!” instead of bastards haha

  4. brin says:

    That must be some super-strength weed they were smoking.

  5. Courtney says:

    it’s none of the public’s business what stars chose to name their children and if the kid doesn’t like his name he can change it when he turns 18. like Patricia Reagan changed her last name to her mother Nancy’s adoptive last name Davis in 1971

    • unphased says:

      Actually, it becomes the publics business when you go on talk shows, and tell everyone that you can’t think of a name for your baby. Then…..you finally think of one and make an announcement and tweet it. He took a personal/private matter, and made it public. So, now every one is giving their opinions on it.

  6. LadyBird83 says:

    My sister and her husband waited 2 wks to name my nephew. It sounds hippy-dippy but really they wanted to get to know their son before that stuck him with a name.

    • Wif says:

      I didn’t get the impression that anyone was calling him “hippy-dippy” for waiting, I thought it was about name choice.

      We waited 1 week to name our daughter. Oddly enough I woke up one morning and said to my husband, “I feel like she’s an Olivia.” He said, “I was just going to tell you the exact same thing.” (Which is kind of funny because it wasn’t on our list of names.)

  7. Maritza says:

    Very original names. Charlie-Ballerina is adorable! That’s a cool jacket his wife has on.

  8. Kaboom says:

    Is it just me or does his daughter look like the Olsen twins at that age?

    • Vicky says:

      I’ve been waiting to see if anyone said this and YES, YES she does look exactly like a little olsen.

  9. Photo lab says:

    He should not be allowed to name children.

    • Stellax2 says:

      Well, at least it’s not Pilot Inspektor and Casper. He even misspelled Inspektor on purpose.
      I can live with Apple (I suppose)but Moses? Really?
      Regular folks name their kids strangely sometimes. I have friends who named their daughter autumn leaf-seriously. I was astounded as they aren’t hippies and not related to the Phoenix family.

  10. Franny says:

    He’s very sweaty…

  11. Zelda says:

    “Bastian” is a name in its own right. Like Kate is derivative of Katherine, or Jack of John–derivative, but not necessarily nicknames. It stands up on its own.

    I like it.

    As for crazy middle names–I have no real problem with that. It’s not a big deal, people don’t use it, and if you see yourself becoming a major politician or something, you can change it. My middle name is kind of odd (it’s not a random noun, or anything, but y’know) and when it comes time to tell people, I rather enjoy it. It’s not really a serious thing.

    (BTW–I suspect that “kick” was what they called the baby ehile she was pregnant–making it personal to them and rather affectionate.)

  12. LAK says:

    Maybe like Zowie Bowie (son of bowie), he’ll grow up and change his name to Duncan Jones.

    That said, Moon Unit Zappa is still my standard for ‘intersting’ celebrity baby names

  13. Hayley says:

    Celebrities are notorious for being needy, attention whores. I think those who name their kids these ridicule-inviting names are displaying a deep-rooted hatred for the child they claim to love. The baby gets more attention than the famous mommy/daddy, so let’s give them a punishment right off the bat……

  14. Rubenesque says:

    The “Kick Sisto” part sounds like “Kit Fisto” the Jedi Master.

    That may just be me. My son is completely obsessed with Star Wars so I hear it constantly. I’m also getting pretty good with a lightsaber.

  15. Samantha says:

    I know two women named Chuck–one short for Charlene, the other for Charlotte. It’s not that uncommon. Plus, there was Chuck on Pushing Daisies. Maybe he and his wife were fans.

  16. Anguishedcorn says:

    I was going to say something snarky, but then I scrolled down and saw that picture of him cooing with his daughter in his arms. And my comment has changed to: if a child is loved and taken care of, who the hell cares what his or her name is.

  17. Eric says:

    Typical Scientology Crap, Sisto has been hanging around in Scientology circles for years, that is why that other Scientology actor named his son Pilot Inspector and Forrest Whittaker named his daughter True, and Jenna Elfman named her son Story…
    They are not just looking for different sounding names, this is some weird Scientology BS.

  18. maggiegrace says:

    Sisto’s parents live in the same town I do. His father Dick is a rather renown xylophone jazz player and he gives monthly free meditation talks/instruction (and is rather dour, or perhaps shy – I interviewed him once for a newspaper); his mother Penny makes art-work quality quilts, and her work is quite popular. So he certainly inherited the creative/artistic genes. His daughter is adorable; her name is rediculous.

  19. Mrs. Darcy says:

    A shame about the Scientology link, I do like him in everything since SFU (though haven’t seen this new show).The name isn’t so bad, am sure the kid will drop the Kick or come up with another nickname, Ballerina is silly but at least it’s just a middle name. Poorly named Hollywood/Sci-bot kids are going to have to form a support group later on! The pictures with his daughter are adorable,love her rockin that naked Barbie on the red carpet, so cute!

  20. Girl says:

    Is that just the pattern on his shirt in those last two pics or did her diaper leak?

    Anyhow, I have a Sebastian so I’m kind of partial to Bastian. We don’t call our little guy Bastian though. Baz, Bazzy, or sometimes Doodle. The Kick part I don’t get. It’s like instructions for bullies.

  21. justme says:

    Bastian Kick sounds like some science fiction movie character. Like some sort of robot or something. Why must people try and be so cute and clever with other peoples names.

    Jeremy sisto is cool and a good actor but those kids names are just a bit to self serving. It is almost as if he wants to show the world how cute, creative, and clever he is. Charlie Ballerina and Bastian Kick—Really?

  22. Orange Cone says:

    “My wife [Addie Lane] is an amazing horseback rider.”

    Ahem 🙂

    Damn he’s Hot!

  23. Angelduster says:

    He is so hot.
    I haven’t seen suburgatory yet, but he was great on Six Feet Under.

  24. Heavenbound says:

    If my father named me that dreadful name, I would kiko-his-basstardio-asso!

  25. Mitch Buchanan Rocks says:

    The wife looks like Giselle Bundchen.

  26. Heavenbound says:

    @ Eric

    So, if Forest Whittaker and Jenna Elfman get married, there kids together would be True Story! Lol!

  27. original kate says:

    sisto is sex on legs…so why does his wife ALWAYS look so bitchy?

  28. nunyabiz says:

    I agree with original Kate. Of course I don’t know her, but she always seems to have a smug overly posed look on her face–never seen a photo of her looking approacable or warm. Perhaps she was/is a model and that is the way she takes a photo. I am curious as to why I’ve never seen a photo of her carrying, holding, or hugging her daughter. I thought he was a single parent because I’ve seen quite a few photos of him on line with his daughter, but I’ve never seen one with her holding her child.
