ShareWhich Celeb Mom Turned to the Old Testament for Baby-Naming Inspiration?
In honor of the movie's release in May, which Sex and the City cast member turned to the Old Testament for baby-naming inspiration?
ANSWER! Cynthia Nixon
Cynthia Nixon is the only Sex and the City star to choose a name for her son, Charles Ezekiel, with Biblical ties -- although of course it's possible she just fancies the nickname Zeke. The actress, who became a mom long before her character Miranda Hobbes took on the job, has spent much of her life racking up experience on Broadway, on television, and in movies. The New York born and bred performer and her previous long-time boyfriend, Danny Mozes, had their first child, Samantha, in 1996. These days, Nixon enjoys spending time with her current girlfriend, education activist Christine Marinoni, and works on acting projects, often with 5-year-old Charles and 11-year-old Samantha in tow.
Working Mama
While the totally relatable Carrie Bradshaw began to question if she would ever become the "marrying type" on Sex and the City, actress and series executive producer Sarah Jessica Parker is a real-life married working mommy of one. She and her husband, actor Matthew Broderick, had James Wilkie Broderick in 2002, named after Broderick's father, James, and English author Wilkie Collins. Since the 2004 conclusion of the TV show, SJP has kept herself busy on the big screen, with lead roles in The Family Stone and Failure to Launch. The fashion icon has also proven her knack for business with the post-millennial launch of her own fragrance and clothing line.
From Bad Girl to Girl-Next-Door
Kristin Davis showed the world she can do it all, from playing the mean girl, Brooke, on Melrose Place in 1995 to perfecting the sweet-as-can-be Charlotte on Sex and the City. The single star, who grew up in South Carolina as an only child, admits that the work involved in raising a big family may not be her cup of tea. However, the waitress-turned-actress hasn't completely ruled out the possibility of having kids one day, noting that adoption is a very appealing way to become a mother. Long before initiating any life-changing decisions, the L.A. and New York resident wants to concentrate on several other items on her list of to-dos, one of which is world travel.
Donating Diva
Kim Cattrall's stunning Sex and the City character, Samantha, always demanded -- and got -- attention. In real life, the actress has no children and doesn't seem to have any qualms about it. Of the four fictional New York friends, Samantha always exuded the purest of bachlorette tendencies, and the English-born actress cannot say she's far from the same. With a published book on female sexuality and many years of acting behind her, she predicts she may not ever be a mom, at least in the traditional sense. Satisfying her maternal instincts by mentoring young actresses and working with children's charities, she's happy with life as it is.
