This year has seen a boom in celeb births. And with each celeb birth means super chic (or sometimes super huh?) baby names: Kim K chose Chicago, Khloe K went with True, Kylie picked Stormi and musician Pete Wentz and new mama Meagan Camper recently announced the birth of baby girl Marvel Jane. Well now there’s another not-so-common baby name—Kirsten Dunst named her son Ennis.

The actress and her actor fiancé Jesse Plemons recently welcomed their first child, a baby boy. Even though neither of the happy parents has officially dropped the baby’s name, website The Blast reportedly obtained a copy of the birth certificate. According to The Blast, the Dunst and Plemons named their baby boy Ennis Howard Plemons.

So how did the couple pick their baby’s name? Well considering both Dunst and Plemons have been completely quiet about the pregnancy and birth (except for Dunst’s awesomely artsy high fashion bump pic that Rodarte posted on Instagram), it’s not likely that they’ll be making any lengthy baby name statements soon.

But if you want a little background on the name, Ennis is an Irish name meaning “island”—its origin comes from the Gaelic “inis.” Along with the meaning of the name, fans of Fargo might recognize the name as from Season 3 character Ennis Stussy. And of course, Dunst and Plemons met on the set while filming the TV show, playing married couple Peggy and Ed Blumquist during Season 2.

Congrats all around to the new parents!
