Can we talk about Jessica Simpson's new son's name?

[Alisvolatpropiis]

It's Ace Knute.

Like king knute or like nut?? I just don't know how it's pronounced.

I *think^ it's as in King but never can tell.

not sure about it if it is Knute as in King, maybe it is Knute as in noot with a silent K?? [Clutching straws]

I missed that she had given birth. It is certainly interesting. Ace is okay.

Her rep has said it's Ka-nute. After her fella's grandad.

Ace Knute Johnson. Not my kinda name.

was his granddad King Knute

It's pronounced ka-nute, well so says the daily mail :)

Ace is an okay name, and I think it's great that they chose a name with a meaning behind it (Knute for the grandfather). Better than most celebrity names.

I like Ace,though wouldn't use it myself.

Can't quite believe Knute is a relatives name

Thought it had been a whilst since it was in common usage!

Ace is a bit trendy, but it's ok as far as celeb names go. The Granda was Swedish. Or Norwegian, one of the two, so makes sense. And also that cute little polar bear in Berlin was called Knute.

I want a polar bear cub.

Better than spelling it Cnut I suppose. Maxwell and Ace. Gracious.

Not my cup of tea (grimace)

His grandfather is Swedish. It's a rare name even here though.

I like Knute, especially with the family link. Middle names are a good way of celebrating family, and where slightly odd names should go. Ace is a bit silly, a nickname not a real name to me.

I like it

I love Ace. I know one. He is ace.

I prefer Knute to Ace!

It's spelled Knut in Norwegian. It's a perfectly ordinary name here, especially in the grandfather generation.

I just think of 'Ace Rimmer' from Red Dwarf...

It's just not a good name.

I quite like ace.

I think it goes well with Knute and I like unusal middle names. Much better than boring James or Thomas stuck in the middle.

I've known 2 Knut/es - both German/Scandinavian.
