New Parents Nikki Reed And Ian Somerhalder Name Their Little Sunshine

Like the ringing of their wedding bells, couple Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder have another announcement to make! It’s the greeting of their precious little girl into the Earth. Unsurprisingly, the press didn’t get their hands on the happy news as fast as it could have. But now, we can definitely affirm it. That’s right folks! They’ve got a new member to the family.

According to E! News, Nikki Reed had given birth to their baby girl last July 25. Other than that, you will appreciate the fact that the newly-made parents have thought long and hard about their daughter’s new name. It’s pretty darn special and every bit of unique—Bodhi Soleil Reed Somerhalder.

What does ‘Bodhi Soleil’ mean?

“Bodhi” is of Sanskrit origin. And although neither of the parents is Buddhist, it dates back to the story of Buddha. “Bodhi” means awakened or enlightenment. In the Buddhist culture, it refers to the concept of the Buddha’s spiritual awakening.

Meanwhile, “Soleil” is of French origin and it means “Sun.” Although the couple hasn’t openly stated an explanation for their choice, we can interpret that they see their daughter as their little sunshine.

Right now you could probably guess how happy daddy Ian is. After all, just months after they exchanged their vows on April 2015, Ian had already thought about having children. He told E! News, “Oh, hell yes! Absolutely… It’s the most incredible thing to be happy and secure in something,” he gushed. “It’s a pretty crazy time and place to bring a child into this turbulent and insane world — but I really can’t wait to do it and really just love it.”

This may be a little late, but welcome to Life, baby Bodhi Soleil!
