Basketball star Lisa Leslie and husband Michael Lockwood welcomed son Michael Joseph, Jr. on April 6th. Congratulations to the family!

 

“Michael Joseph” is a traditional, classic pick - but you didn’t need me to tell you that. Michael is ranked #2 and Joseph is #13.

 

According to people.com, the baby’s nickname will be MJ. What do you think of initial nicknames?

 

 

The family’s other children:

Lauren Jolie, 2 1/2 years

Mikaela, 15 years (from Lockwood’s previous marriage)

Gabrielle, 18 years (from Lockwood’s previous marriage)
