Holly Madison Names Her Baby Girl!
by Shannon KeirnanHolly Madison has delivered her 7 pound, 2 ounce baby girl—and you probably won’t guess what she’s named her.
"I wanted to give my daughter a unique name," the 33-year-old "Girls Next Door" star explained to E! "Growing up, there was a girl in my school named Rainbow and I was so envious of that name. I thought it was so pretty and unique!"
Not just Rainbow, everyone. Rainbow Aurora Rotella.
Well it’s certainly unique.
Madison defends her choice via her blog.
“I have always loved the name Rainbow,” she reiterates. “There was a girl in my school a few years younger than me named Rainbow and I was so envious of her name because it was so pretty and unusual. She was a perfectly normal, well-adjusted, sporty girl, by the way, so I’m not worried about my daughter being “traumatized” by having an unusual name.
There are a lot of smug haters out there who bag on my choice of a name, but I don’t care about what they think. I want my daughter to be proud of who she is and learn to speak up and stand up for herself at a young age. I spent most of my life being a people-pleaser who worried about what other people thought or thought was cool and I don’t want that for her.
I couldn’t be more blessed to have such a perfect daughter and have never been happier than I am now!”
Meanwhile, new father Pasquale Rotella says only, "Holly and I are looking forward to spending some quiet time with our baby and enjoying our new family. I'm truly the luckiest man in the world.”
Congratulations to the couple!
