Jack White, of the White Stripes Whites, and his wife Karen Elson had their daughter. And they named her Scarlett.
See, it had to be a red name? But Ruby was never an option? because Jack used to date Renee Zellwegger? And she was in Cold Mountain? and her character's name was Ruby? And-- and I'll stop sounding like a teenager now. And besides, his real name is Gillis.

Previously: Who knows? The Jack Whites say they're having a kid.
And he definitely couldn't name her Ruby Gillis, because that's a character in the Anne of Green Gables books. A ridiculously boy-crazy character, who eventually (are spoiler alerts needed for books more than 50 years old?) dies young of consumption.
[since boys never read it, yes, spoiler alerts were necessary. d'oh! -ed.]
Hey, Jack White - or John Anthony Gillis - was also in Cold Mountain. And now he's formed another new band called The Raconteurs and has a fairly popular single on the alternative radio stations called "Steady As She Goes."
Whew, felt like I was channeling Cliff Clavin there for a moment...
