Jack White and Karen Elson Welcome Little Henry Lee White Into the World

August 8, 2007

According to that trash rag The Associated Press, Jack White and wife Karen Elson greeted their second child into this big bad world on Tuesday, August 7th. His name is fitting of a Southern gentleman, Henry Lee White. Surely 15-month old big sister Scarlett Teresa looks forward to sharing her baby sunblock with him. Congratulations to the family!

But if you had a choice, what would YOU have named Jack White baby number two? Perhaps General Lee White? Or what about Rhett Butler White?

The White Stripes national tour resumes on September 13th in New Mexico.

thigh master August 9, 2007 at 9:17 am: Frank Lloyd White

I think highly of myself August 9, 2007 at 1:40 pm: Associated press is a trash rag? then what do you call an elitist indie hipster music blog? Sounds like some jealousy towards the fact that bloggers /= real journalists.
laura August 9, 2007 at 3:04 pm: i was being sarcastic.

Congrats to them both,….
aj August 10, 2007 at 11:58 am: i wanted him to have another girl and name her blanca. this would continue the color scheme!
Anonymous August 10, 2007 at 1:23 pm: Or Blanche, which is very Southern and has a Detroit connotation as well…
Anonymous August 10, 2007 at 5:02 pm: blanca, blanche, blan all mean white
mystic colors August 10, 2007 at 7:35 pm: I agree that they seem to be playing the “baby catch-up” game, but I applaud them both. Any name would do just fine….it’s the child’s job to make the name. Look what Jack did with John…I rest my case: black, with red and white trim. One of three!
Best to all four of them.
