OK! magazine is reporting that Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves have decided on a name for their newborn son (born last night) and have, thankfully, decided not to follow Matthew’s oldest brother Rooster’s lead and name the child after a brand of beer … instead, they named him after a brand of blue jeans:

Now that superstar actor Matthew McConaughey and longtime girlfriend Camila Alves have welcomed their first child into the world, they are revealing exclusively to OK! their son’s name — Levi Alves McConaughey. Explaining how they came up with the name for their baby boy, Matthew tells OK!, “Levi was another name for the apostle Matthew in The Bible. They were, in fact, two names for the same person. “Our son was born at 6:22 pm, and this particular time represents my favorite verse in the book of Matthew in The Bible: ‘If thy eye be single, thy whole body will be full of light.’” Baby Levi’s middle name is taken directly from his mother Camila’s last name. “We wanted to incorporate her family name,” explains the proud new father. To all the well-wishers and fans, Matthew and Camila have also released the following statement:
“We welcome Levi Alves McConaughey into this wonderful life and look forward to living in it with him. In the mean time and all times, just keep livin’.” — Matthew David McConaughey and Camila Maria Saraiva de Araujo Alves
Aww, well that’s nice … and strangely Biblical. Gettin’ back to big bro Rooster for a sec, he gave an interview to People magazine after the birth of the newest McConaughey and proclaimed that his little bro Matthew is gonna be “one helluva dad”:
Matthew McConaughey’s brother Rooster says his little bro is one lucky fella: “It’s good to have a boy the first time ’round!” He adds jokingly: “You can get away with dropping ‘em a couple times, and they’ll still be okay. Can’t really do that with a little girl.” For now the newest addition to the McConaughey clan is resting under the watchful eye of his parents … “He’s probably a bit tired right now, probably been sitting around that hospital just staring at the little guy,” Rooster tells PEOPLE. Rooster, 54, is the father of two, including 2-year-old Miller Lyte (yes, as in the beer). “The other day I told him, ‘Don’t worry if other people want to hold him for that first year. That’s okay.’ Our dad always used to say that,” Rooster says. “Hell, you wanna wait until their neck muscles get stronger anyway. That’s when the fun starts. I like ‘em when they get a bit tougher. I told him, they don’t really get fun until they’re about a year old anyway.” Roughhousing aside, Rooster says he’s certain his little brother will be a good father. “That guy is going to make one helluva a dad,” he says.
Hahahhaha … oh man, what a fun family. Again, congrats to the happy new parents and much happiness for their burgeoning family. Welcome to the world, Levi Alves!!
OH YES — one more thing on an entirely different note, OK! magazine has announced that they will be revealing the first pics of Jamie Lynn Spears and Casey Aldridge’s newborn baby girl Maddie Briann tomorrow! Woot!
