Congratulations to new mother Helen Hunt and father Matthew Carnahan (a television writer/producer), who announced the birth of their daughter Makena'lei Gordon Carnahan to the public some two weeks after its birth. The child is named for a town in Maui, Hawaii; one can only assume that's where the child was conceived after a wild night of mai tais and hula dancing, with the sweaty lovers engaging in some speculative pillow-talk. "Honey, if I get pregnant tonight, I think it would be really great if we gave the baby a Hawaiian name, even though neither of us are Hawaiian." "Baby, that's a great idea, but I insist that the child have an apostrophe in its name. God, you look so hot in that grass skirt."
