LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Actress Julia Roberts gave birth to
twins Sunday morning, her publicist told CNN.
Roberts, who is married to cinematographer Daniel Moder, delivered Hazel
Patricia Moder and Phinnaeus Walter Moder at a hospital in Southern
California, said Marcy Engleman.

"Mother and babies are doing great," she said.

Roberts, 37, married Moder two years ago.

Roberts was born in Smyrna, Georgia, and attained fame in 1990 for her
portrayal of a prostitute in the sentimental romantic comedy "Pretty
Woman."

Ten years later, she won the Academy Award for best actress and a Golden
Globe for best actress in a drama for her work in "Erin Brockovich."

Movie people are brain-fried freaks, branding their kids for life with crap
names like this. Think too of Gwyneth and her little "Apple" ...

Ah...but Bruce and Blythe named her "Gwyneth" and that seems to
have settled in. Of course, her mother named her "Blythe"...

And so on...

Really....I mean, if I were single, I'd certainly toss Gywneth or Salma
out of my bed because of their first names. Actually, I find Gywneth
very "Arthurian," though I've not come across it in my reads of that
era. I don't know enough of Hispanic culture to comment on Salma.

The name is of Lebanese/Arabic origin. Although the surname Hayek
turns up in E. Europe and Austria (F.A. Hayek), it is likely of
Lebanese/Arabic origin as well. So, although she is fully Mexican, her
name is not.

Lots of Lebanese immigrated to Mexico, Central and South America
around the turn of the century.

That phrase "turn of the century" is passé if you're referring to 1900. It
hasn't fully caught on yet for 2000 because of the potential for confusion
in statements like this where the century can only be inferred by the
context.

Hmmph. Next you'll be telling me that World War I wasn't the "War to
End All Wars."

You are, of course, correct. Old habits and all. At least I'm now
putting the right date on my checks. Oh damn, checks are passé too,
aren't they?

Nope. That was the Great War of course!

Gwyneth is an anglicised transliteration of the Welsh Gwynned, which
means "luck or happiness".

Could be from the Arab name (also Salimah) meaning "peace or safety"
(think Salaam). Could also be a derivative of the Hebrew Salome,
similarly derived (think Shalom).

Isn't it a double "d" Gwynnedd, as I've seen old forms of Maredudd. I
have a theory that the "dd" = "th" thing is part of a gaelic revolt
against the roman alphabet, along with the "bh" = "v".

Or Moon Unit and Dweezil (Zappa)... from the entertainment industry, not the
movie industry, of course.

I agree with you wrt Phinneus, but Hazel reminds me of the character
on "Upstairs, Downstairs" - the beautiful middle-class redhead married
to Major Bellamy.

Hazel reminds me of the Ted Key cartoon character that became a sitcom.
