Frances McDormand, the acclaimed American actress, and her husband, director Joel Coen, adopted a son in 1995 and named him Pedro McDormand Coen.
The choice of “Pedro” is interesting as it’s not typically associated with celebrity baby names. It’s a Spanish form of “Peter,” meaning “rock” or “stone.”
This name choice reflects McDormand and Coen’s understated approach to celebrity, opting for a strong, traditional name rather than following trendy or unusual naming patterns often seen in Hollywood.
The decision to use both parents‘ surnames (McDormand Coen) is becoming increasingly common, allowing the child to carry on both family names.
