Cameron Diaz has quietly welcomed another child with husband Benji Madden — but it’s not the surprise baby that’s grabbing attention.
It’s the name.
A surprise announcement
The famously private couple, who tied the knot back in 2015, have built a reputation for keeping their family life out of the spotlight.
So when Madden suddenly revealed they had welcomed a third child, fans were caught completely off guard.
Instead of sharing a traditional photo, he posted a creative illustration alongside a heartfelt message announcing the birth of their son.
But as soon as people noticed the name…
The reaction was instant.
‘The worst name ever’?
Social media quickly lit up with strong opinions — and not all of them were kind.
Some users bluntly called it “the worst name ever,” while others questioned why celebrities often choose such unconventional names.
Comments ranged from confusion to outright criticism, with one person writing:
“So mean to do that to your kid.”
Others joked about how far celebrity baby names have gone, comparing it to exaggerated, made-up names.
Still, not everyone agreed.
A number of fans defended the couple, pointing out that unusual names often seem strange at first — but become normal over time.
The meaning behind the name
Despite the backlash, the name wasn’t chosen at random.
According to Madden, it has a deeper meaning tied to exploration and individuality.
It’s said to translate to:
- “Sailor”
- “Navigator”
- “One who embarks on a journey”
The nautical theme was also reflected in the announcement, which included imagery and a poetic message about charting your own course in life.
A pattern of unique names
This isn’t the first time the couple’s baby names have sparked conversation.
Their daughter, Raddix Chloe Wildflower, and son, Cardinal, also stood out for their originality.
Clearly, Diaz and Madden aren’t afraid to go against the grain.
Life away from Hollywood
In recent years, Diaz has stepped back from acting to focus on family life — something she’s described as the most fulfilling chapter of her life.
Now 53, she’s also part of a growing number of women embracing motherhood later in life.
And while opinions on the name may be divided…
It’s safe to say the couple isn’t losing any sleep over it.
