Emily Ratajkowski is a mama [3]! The actress and model welcomed a baby named Sylvester on March 8 with husband Sebastian Bear-McClard. The new mom shared her child's full name in an announcement post on Instagram, writing, "Sylvester Apollo Bear has joined us earth side." And the little one already has a sweet nickname: Sly!

The name Sylvester isn't one that's heard too often, but it's not completely unique [4] — it's appeared in the Social Security Administration (SSA)'s top 1,000 names of the year [5] every year since data was first collected in 1900. Although in that first year it debuted at the 160th most popular name, in 2019 it sat at number 963. We have a sneaky feeling that it may get a boost in popularity in 2021 thanks to Emily, though.

As for Sly's middle name [6], Apollo, it first debuted on the SSA's top 1,000 [7] in 2012 at 982, but most recently, in 2019, it was the 483rd most popular name for boys [8], specifically.

We can't learn more about Sylvester in the future and see even more adorable photos.
