New York Jets head coach Eric Mangini, 37, and wife Julie have welcomed their third son. Zack Brett Mangini was born at 7:43 a.m. on Friday with "very, very healthy lungs," weighing in at 7 lbs 13 oz and measuring 20 inches in length; both mom and baby are doing well, Eric told reporters later in the day.

In an ironic twist of fate, Zack shares a birthday with New York Jets quarterback Brett Favre, whom he can someday thank for his middle name. Eric promised to incorporate 'Brett' into the name of his then-unborn son this summer, when the Jets were negotiating the trade that would ultimately bring Brett to New York from the Green Bay Packers. It isn't the first time the Mangini's have paid homage to Eric's job while playing the name game, however. The couple's 4 ½-year-old son Jake Harrison is named after New England Patriot Rodney Harrison, while 2 ½-year-old Luke William is named after New England head coach Bill Belichick. "All my kids have middle names that are related to people that have been important to me in my football career," Eric reveals. "I explained that history [to Brett] and explained that we were pregnant with our third child."





Personally, I'd like it better if it were Zachary Brett nn Zack

while i am always a fan of using names that have meanings, i cant help but wonder what about the mother? three kids all named what sounds like what the dad wants to name them. surely she has had some important figures in her life.

Well, to be fair, it doesn't really mention where the first names came from. Perhaps that is mom's doing?

Zack Brett sounds a little...I don't know, early nineties to me, but Luke William and Jake Harrison are both nice.

I just don't like how it flows. Like I said, I think I'd prefer it as Zachary Brett because I do like both names...and I like the idea of it being named after Brett Favre.
