Last month we learned that Natalie Portman and fianceé Benjamin Millepied welcomed the birth of their first born child. While we learned that the couple gave birth to a boy we have gotten no other information about the little dude since. Like, no news at all. Today, tho, we learn of a new report that claims that the name of Natalie‘s baby boy has been revealed. According to THIS site, Natalie and Ben decided to give their son the very Hebrew name of Alef.

Portman names first child Alef, like the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, not Alf, like the friendly alien on the eponymous American television show. Actress Natalie Portman’s first-born son with fiance Benjamin Millepied was given the name Alef, the Israeli television show “Good Evening with Guy Pines” report[s]. The happy parents have yet to confirm their sons birth or name after People magazine was the first to report the event. The birth took place [in June], Pines’ program reported. For Portman, 30, who was born in Jerusalem, the birth was the high point of a year marked by great personal and professional success.

I must confess, this “news” is a bit old (by a couple of weeks) but since we’ve heard nary a peep from Nat and Ben about their baby I figured this was worth sharing. Clearly, the couple want to keep their newborn baby news to themselves for as long as possible. I’m sure we’ll hear something official and hopefully see the first photo soon. As for this report, I’d LOVE it if Natalie named her son Alef. It’d be a very different, very special name. What do y’all think? Do you like the sound of Alef Portman-Millepied?
