Why Is Tom Brady's Son Named Moynahan

So, you're probably wondering, why on earth did Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen name their son Moynahan? I mean, it's not like they went with something predictable, like 'Tom Jr.' or 'Gisele II'. No, no, they had to go and pick a name that sounds like a fancy Irish whiskey or a character from a fantasy novel.

First things first, let's clear the air. No, they didn't name him after Entourage actor Kevin Connolly's character, 'Eric 'E' Murphy', despite the internet's best efforts to make that a thing. And no, it's not a secret family name they've been hoarding for generations. It's actually a lot simpler (and more romantic) than that.

Back to the Future

Remember Back to the Future? You know, the iconic '80s movie where Marty McFly travels back in time and accidentally messes with his parents' love story? Well, it turns out, Tom and Gisele are big fans. Like, really big fans.

In an interview with CBS This Morning, Gisele revealed that they named their son after the character Marty McFly's mother, Lorraine Baines. Yes, you read that right. They named their son after a character's mother. But hey, when you're a supermodel and a seven-time Super Bowl champion, you can do whatever you want, right?

But Why 'Moynahan'?

Now, here's where things get a little tricky. Why didn't they just name him Marty? Or Lorraine, for that matter? Well, it turns out, they wanted to give him a name that was a little more unique. Something that would stand out, you know?

So, they combined Marty's last name, McFly, with Lorraine's maiden name, Baines. And voila! Moynahan was born. It's like a little time-traveling baby naming game, isn't it?

And there you have it, folks. The story behind the name Moynahan. It's not every day you find out a celebrity baby's name has its roots in a '80s classic. But hey, that's Tom and Gisele for you. Always keeping us on our toes.
