Cline Dion confused over baby names

20th February 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Cline Dion finally named her twins after referring to them as Baby A and Baby B got too confusing.

The 42-year-old singer and her husband Ren Anglil welcomed Eddy and Nelson to the world in October, after enduring several rounds of in vitro fertilisation (IVF). The pair also have ten-year-old son Rene-Charles, and are thrilled to have added to their family.

Although they had tried to prepare for the twins, Cline admits bringing them home was a culture shock. She was so busy caring for them she didnt even think about naming them for a week, and then only after Ren insisted it was time.

Ren said, 'Listen, people are starting to call me. What's their names? I can't tell them A and B again that's not working, Cline told talk show host Oprah Winfrey, in an interview airing on Monday.

[The names were confusing.] It's like, 'Was the hat switched? I thought this was Baby A? And I'm like, 'Stop [with] the As and the Bs. I'm going to do C [and] Ds right now. My name is Cline Dion with a C and a D, so don't push me because I'm close to the edge!'

The star is now happy with the names she and Ren picked, with former South African president Nelson Mandela and songwriter Eddy Marnay the inspiration.

Cline is French-Canadian, and her heritage is important to her. She is adamant all her children will learn about it as they grow up, and is keen for all three of them to speak French.

We mainly speak French to [the twins], she explained. And they speak French to us, too! They wave, they speak French - they've got it all. (C) Cover Media
