Talk about keeping the kids out of the limelight! Since Anna Paquin and her husband of more than two years, Stephen Moyer, welcomed twins into the world last September, the "True Blood" actors tried diligently to keep any and every detail about the babies under wraps. While it did slip out that the 30-year-old actress gave birth to a boy and a girl, nobody knew what to call them as the couple were mums the word on their names -- until now, that is.

Just last evening during the "True Blood" Season 6 premiere in Hollywood, E! News asked the 43-year-old actor about his Father's Day plans with the family. Moyer responded by saying that while his 10-year-old daughter Lily (from a previous relationship) was headed for sleep-away camp this weekend, he fully intended to spend the day just "hanging out with Charlie and Poppy."

With the names of the twins out, Paquin was sure to remain tight-lipped about any plans that were to take place on Sunday. "I can't tell you because that would ruin the surprise. I don't know about [it being a] big surprise, but yes, there are plans."

We are sure Moyer will fully enjoy whatever is in store for him with his 9-month-old babies.

Despite all the presidential surnames that have been given to girls in the past—from Madison to Taylor to Tyler to Kennedy—this one feels like a first. In a burst of Lincoln fever, Bell and fiancée Dax Shepherd were quoted as saying they intended using the name whether the baby was a boy or a girl.Photo: This Jan. 19, 2013 file photo shows pregnant actress Kristen Bell at the premiere of "The Lifeguard" during the 2013 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.

No one knew quite what the baby naming style of Jersey Shore’s Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi might be, but there was nothing but approbation when she chose the handsome Italian classic Lorenzo, which dates back to the Renaissance Medicis. Middle name Dominic was after an uncle of Nicole’s.Photo: Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi arrives at the MTV Movie Awards in Sony Pictures Studio Lot in Culver City, Calif., on Sunday April 14, 2013.

We like Marlowe, which is popping up all over the celebrisphere in a bunch of different spellings, but we LOVE the elegant Ottaline, which makes a great middle name choice.Photo: Sienna Miller attends the 'Orphans' Broadway opening night at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre on April 18, 2013 in New York City.

Following in the footsteps of Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen, Drew Barrymore and husband Will Kopelman picked this sophisticated alternative to the mega-popular Olivia. Barrymore stated that she got the idea from a book she read when she was pregnant saying ‘your baby is the size of an olive’ -- and that was it.Photo: Actress Drew Barrymore arrives at the 24th Annual GLAAD Media Awards at JW Marriott Los Angeles at L.A.

Penelope Scotland, daughter of Kourtney Kardashian(07 of12)

Reality star Kourtney gets a lot of credit for the phenomenal success of her first child Mason’s name, but with this one she’ll have to share it with other celebrity parents like Tina Fey and the Taylor Hansons -- along with actress Penelope Cruz. Penelope is already in the Top 170, and looks to be climbing higher. Middle name Scotland was a clever way to honor the baby’s dad, Scott Disick.Photo: Kourtney Kardashian signs autographs for fans during a Sears In-Store Appearance For Kardashian Kollection at Willowbrook Mall on May 4, 2013 in Houston, Texas.

Tennessee James, son of Reese Witherspoon(09 of12)

Reese Witherspoon’s name choice for her third child came as a surprise, one unlikely to be as influential as that of Ava, her firstborn. Tennessee is where Reese spent most of her childhood, and it’s her mother’s native state, which gives it personal meaning for her.Photo: Actress Reese Witherspoon attends the Cinema Society screening of 'Mud' at The Museum of Modern Art on April 21, 2013 in New York City.

Jemima Kirke, aka Jessa on Girls, named her new son Memphis, supposedly prompting Lena Dunham to remark that he should have a play date with Reese Witherspoon’s Tennessee. Kirke also has a daughter named Rafaella Isreal, showing she has a real affinity for place names.Photo: Actress Jemima Kirke attends the 2013 Joyful Heart Foundation Gala at Cipriani 42nd Street on May 9, 2013 in New York City.

The Taylor Hansons have had plenty of name-picking practice, and seem to be getting more adventurous each time.
