Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert are parents of two [1]! The couple welcomed their second daughter, named Rue Rose, on Sept. 6, and how cute is that name?!
The name Rue, which has Greek origins [2] and is the name of an herbal plant, isn't one of the most popular, as it hasn't ever appeared in the Social Security Administration's top 1,000 baby names [3]. But it's not a completely unheard of name: Golden Girls actress Rue McClanahan — born Eddi-Rue — was given the name back in 1934, and it was also used as a character name in the first book of The Hunger Games trilogy in 2008.
As for Rue's middle name, Rose, a floral name [5] with Latin origins [6], the trend factor is definitely there. While its popularity peaked in 1913 [7], when it was ranked the 14th most popular baby name for girls [8] and was given to 6,171 babies that year, Rose is still a common name today. In 2018, Rose was the 115th most popular for girls in the US.
Congratulations to Teyana, Iman, and their daughter Junie on Rue's arrival!
