Jena Malone Baby: Actress Picks Interesting Name For Her Son

His middle name is right on trend, too!

Jena Malone and her boyfriend Ethan DeLorenzo welcomed a beautiful baby boy over the weekend. The “Hunger Games” star announced her son’s birth on Tuesday with a sweet family photo.

“The best weekend of our lives!!!” the 31-year-old actress wrote on Instagram. “What an incredible blessing to be chosen by this amazing, kind, gentle and beautiful soul to be his parents. Humbled and in complete awe that we get to experience the most ancient and transcendent love that exists.”


In the post, Malone also announced her baby boy’s name. In true Hollywood fashion, the actress and her boyfriend chose a rather unique moniker: Ode Mountain DeLorenzo Malone.

The bold name sounds like something straight out of “Game of Thrones.” According to Behind the Name, Ode is a medieval English moniker and is a variation of the name Odo, or the German name Otto, meaning “wealthy.”

And while Ode’s middle name Mountain might sound odd, it’s actually right on trend. In 2015, Nameberry predicted that word names as middle names would be hot this year thanks to celebrities, and clearly the fad is catching on.

Before Ode Mountain came Jeff Goldblum’s son Charlie Ocean, Ashlee Simpson’s daughter Jagger Snow, and Zooey Deschanel’s daughter Elsie Otter.

Ode is Malone and DeLorenzo’s first child together. On Tuesday, the proud new dad also announced the baby boy’s name on Instagram. However, instead of a photo, DeLorenzo posted a video showing off his girlfriend Malone and their adorable newborn.


Congrats to the happy family!

Weirdest Celebrity Baby Names Of 2015
Sailor Gene Gardner(01 of06)

Liv Tyler welcomed her second child (but first with boyfriend David Gardner) in February and went for a nautical name. While Sailor might be a cute nickname, we think it sounds like an odd choice for a first name. However, the moniker is surprisingly catching on among celebs! In November, former “Hills” star Kristin Cavallari gave birth to her daughter Saylor James Cutler and Bristol Palin revealed that she’ll be naming her baby girl Sailor when she arrives in December. Read more about this baby name trend here. (credit:Mike Marsland via Getty Images)
Blues Anthony Paré Kastner(02 of06)

This name shouldn’t surprise us, considering the fact that Beyoncé and Jay-Z famously named their daughter Blue Ivy in 2012. However, the name Blues is still an oddity. “Mad Men” alum Jessica Paré and boyfriend John Kastner chose this name for their son when he was born in March. Considering that Kastner is a musician, it’s likely the choice of moniker has personal meaning, but the couple has not yet revealed their reasoning. (credit:Larry Busacca via Getty Images)
Elsie Otter Pechenik(03 of06)

Zooey Deschanel has always been known for her quirkiness, so we really aren’t that surprised she named her daughter Elsie Otter. While we love that the “New Girl” star stuck to her style with the name choice, we think the moniker almost sounds like a cartoon character. Deschanel welcomed her daughter with husband Jacob Pechenik in August. (credit:Greg Allen/Invision/AP)

Ashlee Simpson and husband Evan Ross followed the last names as first names trend to name their baby girl, but we’re not sure if it really works. Gaining inspiration from Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, the couple named their daughter Jagger Snow. Interestingly, the odd choice isn’t limited to the Ross family. Justin Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun and his wife Yael Cohen welcomed a son in February and named him Jagger Joseph. (credit:Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP)
Sistine Sabella James(05 of06)

Kevin James has four kids with his wife Steffiana de la Cruz. In January, the couple welcomed their youngest daughter and named her Sistine. While the moniker has a beautiful sound and harkens images of the Sistine Chapel, we’re not sure any nicknames really work with this pick, besides Sis. Interestingly, Sylvester Stallone also named one of his daughters Sistine back in 1998. (credit:Evan Agostini/Invision/AP)
Charlie Ocean Goldblum(06 of06)

Jeff Goldblum became a first-time father this year at the age of 62. The “Jurassic Park” star and his wife Emilie Livingston Goldblum welcomed their baby boy, Charlie Ocean, on Independence Day. While nature baby names are a big trend in Hollywood, Ocean is certainly a more unusual choice. During an appearance on “Conan,” host Conan O’Brien noted, “Ocean, that's a little out there.”Goldblum then responded, saying, “It is. But is it too out there? I love the ocean.” (credit:Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP)
