Serena Williams, the 41-year-old American tennis legend, named her kid Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. after her father. The name is unique and undoubtedly a game-changing pick. Now that the 23-time Grand Slam winner is expecting a second child, there have been many conversations among the family about who the second child should be named after and if the baby should have a name like Olympia.

Recently, Alexis Ohanian disclosed one such name discussion he had with Williams while trying to come up with a name for their second child. Subsequently, he disclosed how they had already broken the rules by naming their five-year-old daughter differently, which made their naming conundrum rather clear.

The Reddit co-founder is confident regarding what kind of father he is for his 5-year-old and knows that he will be an amazing dad for his second child. As the American tennis legend and the 40-year-old entrepreneur are preparing to welcome their newborn, he shared the most perplexing dilemma of naming the second baby.

A few months ago, Williams shared the weird idea of naming her child after a Disney character. And now the Reddit co-founder, in an interview with People, talked about what kind of name he wants to choose. He said, “After Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., Serena told me we cannot name the next kid Alexis, so I’m out of ideas.”

Further, he also revealed that, since naming their first child five years ago, they have already broken a lot of rules. So, now they don’t have to worry much about anything and have to find just a good name for the new member of the family. “Serena Williams Ohanian Jr., I guess it wouldn’t be a junior, or maybe it could be. I don’t know the rules — but we already broke the rules anyway,” he added.
