Apparently director Tod Williams and his wife Gretchen Mol had a son on September 10th they named Ptolemy John Williams. According to behindthename.com, the name is pronounced TAHL-e-mee. What do you think of it? (sorry if this has already been posted!)

What do I think? I think it's going to be mispronounced a lot and then he's going to go by John when he gets older. lol
