So nice to read this good news after the sadness of Andy's passing. Hope little Satyana has a wonderful and happy life (and she should with such lovely, sweet parents)! Satyana Denisof is a lovely sounding name!
Wow..this is such beautiful news, after the terrible one we just had..
Congratulations, Alyson and Alexis! this little girl must be the cutest thing..
And what a beautiful, peculiar name.. I wonder what it means..
That would seem to put to rest the question of whether @alysonhannigan is real or fake, then, wouldn't it.
I've been watching closely and (1) one of the 1st things she did was to "follow" AB and give a shoutout to @amber_benson (not impossible but..yeah) ; (2) she said she has a stunt singer(?); (3) she's replying to mentions of her name without the @; (4) a few days ago she cannot fit into the chair, and is "due anytime now" earlier today. Not sure if I missed anything but it does look like Twitter is how I met the not Aly. :)
Congratulations to Aly and Alexis! I'll bet she's a beautiful baby, with such gorgeous parents. Now that's what I call a very special birthday present!
"The name Satyana comes from two Sanskrit roots: sat, which means truth or being, and also refers to action aligned or suffused with spirit; and yana, which means vehicle. So 'Satyana' means a vehicle for action infused with the grace of spirit."
Congratulations, Alyson and Alexis. Can only guess at the conflicted emotions they must have at the moment concerning the birth of their child and the passing of their friend, especially Alexis who worked so closely with Andy. Must feel like a very strange time for them both.
Alexis totally psyched me out with all his boy name comments! I totally fell for it, I was sure it was going to be a boy. Well, I am happily proven wrong. Although disappointed they did not go with my preferred name, "Joss." :P Ah well, Satyana is very unusual and lovely. Sure to stand out from the Ellas and Emilys.
I can just imagine them telling her the story of how they met. I'm so happy for them! More than I usually am for complete strangers. Welcome baby!
Wonderful news! Congratulations to Alyson and Alexis! As others have mentioned it's strange how these things happen but this news is certainly something to celebrate. Welcome Satyana!
I have no clue if Alyson or Alexis follow any specific religious faith, even if Aly's mom is Jewish, but it is rather traditional within the Jewish faith to answer questions about the sex of a developing baby with the response "So long as it's healthy." That is the be-all answer to "Do you want a boy or a girl" or "Is it a boy or a girl?" So the perceived mislead the article mentions to me makes perfect sense. :-)
To the new parents, congratulations. Get some sleep! Because for the next few years it is going to be sadly lacking. (I know; my first kids were twins, and it took me and my first wife 4 months to figure out that when one kid woke up at night to feed, wake the other one as well so both get fed and you get 3 hours of sleep rather than one!).
Aly continues the trend of celebs naming their kids something weird. Atleast this one actually sounds like a name and I do like it phonetically. It's just kinda weird that at this point if some celebrity were to name their daughter Karen or Lisa that would almost be exotic at this juncture.
Congrats Alyson & Alexis! I like that people are using names that are different, and it's definately not just celebs doing it. While sometimes the different names are just plane odd, I think Satyana is really nice.
Congratulations to Aly & Alexis! Actually I don't think that Satyana is a 'weird' name at all, it just depends upon where you live (many of my friends named their kids Indian names). This is really lovely news, I was enjoying watching Alyson on HIMYM last night, hiding behind boxes and children and just about anything on set to conceal that pregnancy!
Dana5140; Aly was raised Jewish, altho her mother didn't practice much and neither does she. (Altho having a child has been known to change things like that. Ask Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet, just not in the same room.) Just as a guess, Alexis's background is probably either Russian Orthodox, Anglican, or Methodist, no idea how active he is either and also no idea how this will all shake out and it's not my beeswax anyway.
Congrats to both of them! It's so nice to hear good news like this after yesterday's news about Andy. What really surprises me though is that Alyson gave birth a week ago and this is the first anyone outside of their friends and family have heard of it. They did a great job keeping the news private.
(a friend of mine had her eldest on her own birthday and I always felt a bit sorry for her - at least for the first few years it's obviously all about celebrating the child's birthday and there's a danger of Mum's getting slightly sidelined)
Joyous news of a new little life. Welcome to the world Satyana! I hope the new parents sleep when they can, and emerge unscathed from what I like to call "Baby boot camp"--the first 8-16 weeks are especially hard.
I really like the name Satyana! To my virtual ear, it sounds like /saht-YAH-nuh/ --close to rhyming with Tatiana. I think it is lyrical, sounds great with Denisof, and if they were following the Sanskrit meaning as detailed above by ShadowQuest, it has a lovely spirit as well. But then, I myself chose "unusual" names for my kids :) Most people say to me "Oh, is that a family name?", which I take to mean, "Where the %^&# did you come up with that one?" Half the time I think they actually like it, though they wouldn't have chosen it themselves, and half the time I think they think it's a bit weird. To each his own!
Al Hannigan (Aly's father) psoted on another site today that all the women in his family were born on the 24th of whatever months they were born in. Not just his duaghetr and grandaughter (1st grandchild) but also, his sister Lynne, and Lynne's daughter. (Al and Lynne also have 4 or 5 brothers but they had either all sons or no children. Their mother was born on the 25th.)
Ah, another family where mother & daughter share the same day (my mother & sister have that honour - though living in separate hemispheres gives them a few hours of birthday independence)!
Congratulations to Alyson & Alexis with a welcome to the world for Satyana.
