Kimora Lee Simmons, Djimon Hounsou Name Son Kenzo

Congratulations to them!! I can’t wait to hear the name and see a picture! :)

I wonder if she will name him an Asian name to match her daughters’?

Can’t wait to hear what it is..

You go on twitter while giving birth?? Really? Is that where we are now?? Good god!

Anyways… congrats to them!

haha, thanks for saying that emma, my exact thought. Not to take anything away from the joyous news, but COME ON! and with a photo!

anyway, congrats!

you think thats bad about twitter?! i have many friends who are on Facebook until they have to push!!!

My thoughts exactly Emma. I barely knew my own name while in labor,haha. Of course if she had an epidural, she may have had some ‘down’ time, and was able to. I did with my daughter, and there was alot of just laying there, waiting to dialate since you arent thinking about the pain. With my son it was natural and I wouldnt have even been able to (twitter) if I wanted to, very fast labor.

Congrats to Kimora. Yes, she’s a little over the top but I love her and her girls are adorable. Ming is her mini-me, and Aoki looks just like Russell. I wonder if she’ll continue with the Lee theme?

The twitter thing seemed very strange to me too…

But, congrats! I am very curious about the name because her daughters’ name really match but now with another man I’m curious if his name will match the girls’ or be completely different.

Congrats!

If I would’ve had access to a computer while in the labor/delivery room, I would’ve been online for sure! I had lots of time once the epidural kicked in. That was before Facebook & Twitter though. My first thought when I walked into the delivery room (4.5 years ago) was ‘wait a minute…there’s no TV in here!’ I didn’t want to miss the Canadian Idol finale! I had been at the hospital for an appointment & ended up going into labor so I didn’t have my overnight bag, my camera or my show taped!! Oh the memories :)

It sounds like Kimora DIDN’T have an Epidural, as she seemed to indicate that she was feeling the contractions. Anyway, congrats to her and Dijmon!

But what I really don’t get, why is she still called Simmons? And is Lee her surname, so do her daughters have her surname or is it like a middlename and do they also have their fathers last name. Okay, this is getting a bit complicated, sorry. But I just never heard of them before otherwise I probably would have know.

Anyway, congratulations on your new baby boy!!

Congratulations to Kimora and Djimon! I’m sure the baby is gorgeous and will have a very nice name!

Nika: Kimora’s “brand” is Baby Phat by KLS, so I think she will still use Simmons/KLS for her professional endeavors. Plus, her children have the Simmons name so she probably wants to keep it. She often calls her daughters Ming Lee and Aoki Lee so it seems like Lee is part of their first name or maybe their middle name but Simmons is their last name. (Kind of like Sarah Jessica Parker, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Jennifer Love Hewitt.)

Ahhh yay congrats you two im sure he is just as gorgeous as ever & I know Ming & Aoki are probably so happy about being big sisters!!

Many women use their married name for professional purposes when divorced from said husband. Bianca Jagger. Susan Surandon. Some want to keep the same name as their children. Pamela Anderson Lee became Pamela Lee Anderson after her divorce from Tommy Lee. No need for Kimora to stop using Simmons and Djimon clearly doesn’t have a problem with her keeping her married name. I can’t wait to see the name of the little guy. Maybe something of Asian origin? Maybe something of African origin. Maybe a combination of both? Whatever the name, I’m sure it will be a terrific fit for the baby.

I heard about this early yesterday and was waiting to hear the delivery news. I’d probably twitter too if I were her. Its a quick way to let tons of people know whats going on at once instead of having to send texts or call people esp. as a celeb. I wonder what her little guy’s name will be and if it will be inspired by his daddy. How sweet for this family.

congrats to kimora, dijimon and the girls and i cant wait to see the name baby and hear his name.

I gave birth to my baby girl about 11 days ago — and I twittered also!! I didn’t realise I was in labour (my second child, too) and was just updating as I went, as per usual.. lol. I think it’s great because so many of my friends could follow and keep track. I twittered from my iPod Touch until we left for the hospital. My iPod Touch also had a contraction timer on it, so I kept it in hand while I was labouring at home.

Congrats to Kimora & Djimon!

I had a feeling they would have a boy. The little girls must be really happy!

Congrats to them! I can’t wait to see what he looks like and hear what his name is. Aoki’s finally a middle child lol!

Yes, Congratulations to all of them on their new addition. I am fascinated by Kimora and her family..One thing that still puzzles me, I know that when Kimora & Russell Simmons’s divorce became final in February, part of it was that Kimora received 100% custody of Ming & Aoki..From what I have read and seen, Russell seems to adore his two daughters, so why would you give up custody, even though the girls would live with Kimora anyways? Why not joint custody? He also is paying child support until the girls are 18… Any thoughts…

Congrats to Kimora and Djimon. I’m sure he is a beautiful baby boy :)

FC- Why would she have had an assistant in the delivery room? I would think that she would want the birth of her child to be for her and Dijmon’s eyes only (well, and for the doctors and nurses eyes, obviously!).

Also, some other posters on here have said that they twittered or facebooked while in labor…and they almost certainly don’t have personal assistants!

Lovely name :)

I like the name! Congrats to them! I’m sure her daughters are having a fun time with their new baby brother!

That is a very good name. Congrats!

Cute name! Especially with Lee… Good choice Djimon and Kimora. Enjoy your new family of five, congrats from the Netherlands!

Congrats again! And I like the name Kenzo!

AW! I thought they’d name him something like Keiji!

LOVE THE NAME!!!!!!!!!!!!! Perfect mix of the 2 of them!

Not a fan of the name, but congratulations to the family! I think it’s sweet that he has two older sisters to protect and look up to! :)

Love the name! Can’t wait the see the little prince.

I like the name, especially given Kimora’s heritage. It’s a nice traditional Japanese name that goes well with the names of his older sisters.

Yes, Kenzo is a Japanese name. It can mean different things depending on the kanji used. Kenzo Takada uses the kanji 賢三. 賢 means virtuous or worthy. 三 means three. Kimora and Djimon were inspired by his name so I guess this meaning applies for their son’s name as well. I hope that helps.

Lorena,
Kenzo may sound feminine to you and others, but no Japanese parent would give their daughter this name! :)

Like the name however this is the “classic” example of women who have children with different partners. It gets so confusing for the children when they get to school. Your last name is different from your siblings. I realize her daughters have the name of her ex-husband but it’s just better when everyone in the family shares the same last name. Oh well, what can you do!

I think that name is very fitting. Although it’s Japanese name it sounds/seems like a nice blend with something African. Love it. Different but cool.

I love his name. Very interesting to have both a Japanese and Korean name. Our children have Japanese middle names, and my third son’s middle name is Keizo. The “zo” means three, designating my son as third. Just as little Kenzo is the third in his crew! The entire meaning depends on how they choose to spell Kenzo in Japanese…typically it either means intelligent/wise, healthy, or humble. All of which are lovely.

I prefer the name Kenzo than Aoki and Ming. Can’t wait to see the baby.

Love the name they chose for him!

The assistant thing was just a thought, a comment. I’m saying if it was me, I just wouldn’t be worrying about anything like Twitter. Then again, Kimora is a one-woman dynasty and she can multitask with the best of them. Props to her. End of story.

Anyway, the baby’s name is nice. It’s a nice blend of both Kimora and Djimon.

By the time Kenzo is in elementary school, both girls will be in middle or high school. I don’t think having different last names is going to confuse their peers.

Like the name, agree with someone else’s post, who said they preferred his name to the girls’ names, I do too. cute, and can picture a Kenzo who’s older too. Congrats to his happy parents!

Cute, I think its fits the family well! I wonder if they will call him Kenny for short? I bet the baby is gorgeous.

It reminds me of the show “My Family”, and Janey’s son Kenzo. :) I’d never heard of it before that sitcom and I remember thinking it was an odd name at the time, but I think it actually goes well with Kimora’s daughters’ names.

Thanks Leyla and crimpe for the info about the name Kenzo and Japanese names! It’s a lovely name and I love how he will also share the same middle name with his sisters!

love the pictures of the kids..

congratulations!

Kenzo is the only name I like from her kids. Congrats to them!

Congratulations from London

Ming Lee and Aoki Lee must be so happy to have a baby brother.

I was wondering whether the baby would have a Japanese or African name.

Like the Japanese, Africans can be very traditional.

But Kenzo has a blend of both (very clever!)

Can’t wait to see pictures!!!
