Decker’s baby boy joins his older sister, Vivianne Rose (9), and older brothers, Eric Thomas (8), and Forrest Bradley (5). The country singer shared the birth announcement via Instagram over the weekend with adorable photos captured from their time at the hospital.
In recent weeks, fans of Decker began to joke online that it felt like she had been pregnant for three years. She of course replied with a hilarious clip on social media with comments flooding in. You can see that post here.
Fans of Decker have also been trying to guess the name of their baby for weeks. The name Denver is special for the now family of six as Eric Decker was selected in the third round of the NFL Draft back in 2010 by the Denver Broncos where he played for four seasons.
Last month, Decker’s sister, Sydney, and her sister-in-law, Ali, threw her a baby shower at her Nashville home. The businesswoman, singer-songwriter, and New York Times best-selling author had shared a video at the time with her 4.3 million Instagram followers recapping the day with the following caption.
“When my sisters asked about a baby shower, I told them, ‘No way!’ This is my 4th baby! But they wouldn’t take no for an answer. They told me #1 this baby boy deserves to be celebrated. And # 2, you haven’t had a baby in 6 years and you have nothing so we are doing it,” Decker said.
As for music, Decker recently released a new collaboration with singer-songwriter Logan Mize titled “If You’re Up.” The track follows her songs “(Can’t Do Life) Without You” and “I’m Gonna Love You” which she released last year.
6 Baby Names You Probably Should Avoid
Messiah
In 2013, a child support magistrate in East Tennessee ruled that a 7-month-old boy named Messiah must have his name changed to Martin. “The word ‘Messiah’ is a title, and it’s a title that has only been earned by one person, and that one person is Jesus Christ,” said Magistrate Lu Ann Ballew.
Adolf Hitler
In 2009, New Jersey parents Heath and Deborah Campbell were taken into state custody after authorities got involved in a cake incident. A bakery refused to decorate a cake with the words “Happy Birthday Adolf Hitler.” The Campbell’s gave their three children Nazi-inspired names including Adolf Hitler . Though the state said that their names were not the reason, it’s been reported that the parents didn’t believe them.
Allah
In 2018, Elizabeth Handy and Bilal Walk of Georgia sued their home state after officials refused to let them name their daughter ZalyKha Graceful Lorraina Allah. The issue was Allah, the two-year-old girl’s last name. Georgia law requires that children bear the last name of at least one of their parents. The parents won the case, with the help of lawyers from the ACLU.
1069
In 1976, the North Dakota Supreme Court ruled that short-order cook and high school teacher Michael Herbert Dengler could not change his name to “1069.”
Santa Claus
In December 1999, Robert William Handley of Ohio filed a petition to change his name to Santa Robert Claus. Judge Lawrence Belskis denied his petition saying that “the public has a proprietary interest, a proprietary right in the identity of Santa Claus, both in the name and the persona.”
III
A 1984 ruling from the California Courts of Appeal denied a request from Thomas Boyd Ritchie III to change his name to the Roman numeral “III,” pronounced “Three.” The court said that, “a change to a roman numeral did not constitute a name change within the meaning of the law and that the new ‘name’ used by appellant was inherently confusing.”
