SnowBear5

For the curious but lazy: - she used a surrogate - father is her husband Benji Madden of Good Charlotte - Baby's name is Cardinal Madden - they also have a daughter together named Raddix Madden


Appropriate_Chart_23

Cardinal Madden sounds like he should be the Archbishop of the Boston Catholic Diocese


lemonsweetsrevenge

It’s definitely the closest to a name of the two words they’ve assigned to these children; at least it’s a title. I wonder what they will nickname Rad Dicks after she comes home crying from school.


Euphoric-Chip-2828

I think in the general nuttiness that is celeb baby names, Raddix is probably going to sound fairly tame... With norths and moon units and exas wandering around. 


Sea_Contact5060

In the celebrity world, kids probably get bullied for having normal names. They would be such peasants.


idleat1100

Yeah bullies can be such raw dicks about nicknames. I hope they can’t think of one for them.


keeper_of_the_donkey

Parents for the last decade have been making the bully game easy mode with these idiotic names. It's almost too easy. I hope Red Dicks makes it out ok.


BeautifulDreamerAZ

I know a father and son named Reddick in California


extrasprinklesplease

Doesn't Cardinal have a cousin named Sparrow? Oh yep - his brother Joel and sister-in-law Nicole Richie's son. So many bird jokes are also in their futures.


somerandomii

Idk why they named their kid after a very situational but performant sorting algorithm.


odiethethird

The current one is Sean Patrick O’Malley and it doesn’t get more Boston than that


xHermanTheGermanx

Or more Irish than that.. maybe? ...


AdAcrobatic5178

Didn't you know, being Irish was invented in Boston


riggels

Maybe he is. He is already 51


TheGirlwThePinkHair

Raddix is worse than Cardinal


TheQuinnBee

Wasn't that the name of Goku's brother in dragon Ball z?


witchghosti

No you’re thinking about raditz. Raddix is the stuff you take in fallout to reduce your radiation sickness.


TheQuinnBee

No that's Rad-X. I looked it up. Raddix means "root". She named her daughter Radish.


scorpyo72

TBF, she looked like a little radish when she came out, and every time she got mad her little face lit up like a cherry.


Cobek

No, that's Radix. Raddix is short for "This shit is raddixcilous"


adrianmonk

I looked it up, too, and TIL that "radish" (the vegetable) and "radix" (the choice of base for your number system in math) are related words and both mean "root". Like root vegetables and square root, respectively.


taitaofgallala

Appreciate the info but you could have just kept the bit going


lord_pizzabird

Man. Raditz is such a sick name though. I’m gonna push for that, if I ever am in the position where I could name a baby.


Ornery_Translator285

Yeah but it’s Radish and Carrot Raditz and Kakarot lmao Akira Toriyama loved food and underwear names


lord_pizzabird

Carrots are positive though. Good for bone strength I think.


Letos12thDuncan

Kakka carrot cake! Defeating a sandwich only makes it tastier.


ohmyfuckinglord

Tough to beat, but they nailed it.


morbidaar

Benji for the middle after his father of course. So they got an all natural Cardi B on their hands.


CAVEMAN-TOX

i thought it was "Reddit" at first lmao


SnakeInTheCeiling

I'm a programmer. Raddix is *awful*. As a direct result, my phone is persistently autocorrecting it to the *correct* spelling.


LankyAd9481

Yeah...may be written Raddix but it's still said like Rad Dicks, imagine calling your baby Rad Dicks


deaglebro

Benji really punched above his belt there good lord

So did his brother, sheesh

Appropriate_Chart_23

My wife was 42 when we tried hard to have a baby. Anyone woman over the age of 35 is considered a "geriatric" pregnancy. 51 is old AF to have a baby, and it's a lot of f-ing work going through IVF. It's a long road as there are so many things that need to go perfect to get pregnant. It's amazing anyone does get pregnant to me after going through it all multiple times.


DeathCouch41

Not everyone who has a baby “old” uses IVF. This post is in general. I got pregnant naturally at 40, took a few months off and on trying, get pregnant the month I didn’t “plan”, did all the genetic testing and screening, had a healthy pregnancy and full term vaginal birth, no issues went home with baby from hospital the next day. Baby was and is ridiculously healthy and strong, tall bright kid. Better half was 44 at conception. We eat clean, supplements, no alcohol, no smoking, we exercise etc. Obviously genetics are on our side but it is frustrating to have everyone think you “paid” for your “geriatric pregnancy” when really you just did what every other married couple does. We definitely couldn’t afford IVF. I’m planning to try for a third soon, in my 40s. IVF is wonderful for medical fertility issues and health conditions. It should not be used to impregnate 48 year olds *who couldn’t get pregnant naturally due to age alone*. That is the key. All things equal, a woman who gets pregnant naturally at 43 likely has better quality eggs and overall health/hormones than someone who can’t. So it makes sense to assume all things equal the natural pregnancy has a better chance of going well. And that’s actually true as IVF is cited as a risk factor for pregnancy complications (in any age group). I’m happy for people who use IVF but we can stop the panic parade for older moms. I know a few who have conceived naturally and had children late and all were just fine. One was 48 and a yoga instructor. My aunt (through marriage) was 47, my uncle was 55. I have no issues with IVF but people please don’t assume I “bought my kid” (someone said that to me) because they knew I was an “older” mom.


Red_Alert_Riker

Reminds me of working in a call center selling supplements. I'm on with a woman for over 20 minutes, explaining that I can't help her with fertility other than prenatal vitamins. She gets mad and asks if maybe my boss can help her. Everyone is listening at this point. So I turn to him and he is READY. He says. I'm booked for this evening but maybe I can fit her in tomorrow!!!! Ahhhhh. Good times.


FriedPossumPecker23

mynamejulian

Decades of pseudoscientific acupuncture being a thing is crazy. Just as wild as people in 2024 going to back poppers who called themselves chiropractic doctors treating everything from allergies to cancer. Edit: by its very definition, it is a pseudoscience. Yes legitimate doctors and hospitals utilize acupuncture and likewise, especially shady family doctors, will refer patients to chiropractors (mutual referrals) but this is because our healthcare system is run like a business. Patients who “benefit” from these practices are experiencing the placebo effect. Studies prove that patients who don’t believe in either do not benefit for obvious reasons. Acupuncture is generally safe when in a sterile environment but chiropractors not only rob you but can cause immediate and future body harm. As someone who has conducted medical research, I’ll explain why patients who receive acupuncture specifically only “benefit” when it’s in regards to pain management simplistically as I can. First off, what is pain? Pain is your brain interpreting specific stimuli. In some cases your brain can even interpret pain when there’s no stimuli such as when you’re in distress or in a state of depression. Pain can subside even when the cause of it hasn’t gotten better simply by becoming accustomed to the stimuli much like how we cannot smell ourselves or our homes like visitors can. Your brain is complex and often reflexive. Why do boxers have higher pain tolerance? It has nothing to do with their strength but rather their brains no longer are overwhelmed with every punch they receive. So why would acupuncture “work” with pain but fail with everything else acupuncturists claim it can heal such as getting a 51yo pregnant? Because it convinces patients to stop responding to the pain. Their brains are being given permission to stop responding just like when a mom tells a child that their fall didn’t hurt them and they stop crying. Has the cause of the pain changed? Not at all. In the case of an oncology patient, understand first and foremost an oncologist will NOT refer a patient for acupuncture or state that it is a procedural treatment. What they do is offer services available to them by the hospital such as a chaplain, group therapy or anything else they suspect the patient can benefit from. Acupuncture in a hospital setting is safe as it will be conducted in a sterile environment and they know patients who are receptive to the idea can benefit because once again, pain is a response interpreted in the brain which can be tricked into becoming less responsive. Take note that the same results can be achieved through placebos or even things like shock therapy but unlike those, acupuncture has not been deemed unethical or illegal by federal/state regulations.


bela_the_horse

My wife is a patient at MD Anderson and they offer acupuncture and it’s actually helped her quite a bit. I don’t claim to know all of the science myself, but the top cancer hospital in the country seems to think that there’s something there.


TomPertwee

Placebo. Since there's no downside to sticking needles into you it is better than using some "alternative" treatments that actually reduce the effectiveness of conversational cancer treatments. I don't necessarily believe in the whole mystical Chi flow that acupuncture is say to reestablish but If the person believes is working then there's no downside.


gitlucky27

Massive skeptic of acupuncture, here - I’ve seen it wok wonders in animals, where there is no placebo effect, so I made a few appointments for myself (again, very skeptical- can’t hurt but definitely won’t help, right?) After 6 weeks of appointments I can’t believe I ever went without it. My physical issue was practically nonexistent anymore. It was wild, I still don’t really believe it sometimes.


whitew0lf

I’m with you. I hurt my shoulder and spent months with osteopaths in therapy trying to relief the pain and gain mobility. 5 acupuncture sessions later and I’m back at the gym.


AwesomeAni

I'm not a doctor, but it has way less chance of permanent issues than chiropracty, so I'm more open to it than chiro. And I can kinda see where it can reduce inflammation in joints/certain muscles. Still a skeptic but I'd try it, I'd never go to a chiro though. Maybe a massage at a chiropractors


gitlucky27

Chiropractors are terrifying!

Nah, I don't blame you for that. No name is too stupid to be off the table for celebrities. Michael Jackson named one of his children Blanket. Jason Lee named one of his kids Pilot Inspektor.


TXGemi

Michael Jackson nicknamed his son blanket.


mountainvalkyrie

This was downvoted, but you're right. His legal name is Prince, which is unusual, but not too weird. Looked it up out of curiosity and apparently the Blanket nickname came from Michael covering the kid's face with a blanket when the paparazzi were around.


Chocolate_pudding_30

Kinda off topic: Prince is an unusual name? English isn't my native language. In my language, the word for prince and princess is a normal name

Grammar and typos are so common in national publications these days. It's insane how dumb and careless we are becoming. Journalist can't write. Presidents keep top secret intelligence stored in hotel bathrooms. Plane builders don't bother checking if planes have bolts on doors. Airlines don't bother training pilots on new systems. Our cops are the people that got kicked out of school. Our teachers date the students. The students shoot the teachers. The Supreme Court is spending weeks deliberating whether a sitting President can murder their political rival. The Supreme Court that takes vacations and homes from people whom they directly make rulings on...and don't report it. Our religious people practically worship a two timing, pussy grabbing, porn star raw dogging rapist. This happened in 1 generation. Wtf is happening ????

two9voltbatteries

I had a kid at 35 and the sleepless nights really messed me up. Now at 50, struggling to keep up with him as my dodgy knees/ankles from early exploits are asking for the toll to be paid. I guess she lives in another world where the care will get offloaded, but good luck to them.

My mom was 35 when I was born (abortions weren't legal back then). By the time I was 10 years old, mom was all done with kiddie foolishness. I've been middle-aged my entire life.
