Jennifer Garner Explains How They Named Seraphina

People are still debating whether they like the name Seraphina for Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck‘s daughter. But now Jennifer is revealing the way they ended up picking out the name for the beautiful little girl.

“Violet, ever since she figured out that I was pregnant, she said, ‘Oh that’s Sara.’ And we didn’t know if it was a boy or a girl, so we’re like, ‘Oh, we’ll see.’ We didn’t know where she came up with it but she said Sara consistently the whole time. And we kept saying she’s not going to name the kid, she’s a baby. We’ll decide and we’ll figure it out.”

But after a week they hadn’t decided on a name so they decided to use Violet’s idea…

“A week into it (after giving birth) we hadn’t decided. So we just went with what Violet wanted… and the thing we liked about it was it meant angel in every language. She gets her way sometimes.”

That is cute that they let their daughter help in the name. I wanted to name my little brother when I was a teenager but of course didn’t win on the name I picked.
