The beaming new mom shared how her new bundle of joy's name is pronounced in a Nov. 18 update on Instagram. "Just greazzzy and happy. That is all," she wrote. "Kaavia James pronounced Kah-Vee-Uh James. She has 102 nicknames including but not limited to Kaav, Kaavi, Kaavi Baby, Kaavi J, Jamie, KJ, Nugget, Nug, Pooters . . . We wanted to include my family in her name so the 'James' is from my uncle James Francis Glass who is also my godfather. Union is her middle name. I've waited this long so fo sho I was gonna get in there." Apparently, the name Kaavia has an Indian origin and means "full of imagination" — and there's no denying it's absolutely gorgeous.
