Elisabeth Röhm welcomes a baby girl

Actress Elisabeth Röhm (Law & Order) welcomed her first child, a daughter, yesterday. As I reported in November, she and her fiancé decided to name their daughter Easton. I was rather appalled, but then I read the child's full name on People.com:

Easton August Anthony

And no, Anthony is not her surname; it's her middle name. I can't find words at the moment. There just are none. Ugh.

What does that have to do with anything? According to babynames.com, it's never been on the SSA list for boys, either.

So what's your point?

All right, fine, I concede. Easton & August are both "male" names. I don't care that someone I've never met and never will have chosen to give those names to their daughter, but that's fine. It's certainly not the first (and probably not the last) time that someone has given a girl boys' names.

As for Anthony, "Anthony" is actually the baby's surname, from what I gather.
