Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters) welcomes son

As reported by Sarah at Celebrity Babies, Taylor Hawkins and his wife, Alison, have welcomed baby Oliver Shane into the world. Oliver is the father's first name as well, so it is nice to see a bit of a tradition passed on.



As to it's meaning, Oliver is reported to mean "elf army" from the Germanic name
Alfihar. Shane is derived from Sean, which itself is derived from the name John, which is originally Hebrew and means "Yahweh is gracious."

It leaves us to wonder: Will the baby follow in the tradition set out by his father and be called by his middle name?
