Serena Williams jokes about naming her second child after her favorite Disney characters
Serena Williams recently spoke about her love for Disney films and joked about potentially naming her second child after one of her favorite Disney characters.
"Good Morning. I was thinking about... I don't know the gender, I don't know if we're having a girl or a boy. So, I'm thinking about some names and I was like maybe I should do something with my favorite Disney characters because I love Disney and as you know, I'm like their biggest fan," the 41-year-old said in a TikTok video.
Williams mentioned multiple Disney characters as possible inspirations for her second child's name, including Maleficent, Scar (Lion King), Gaston (Beauty and the Beast), Ursula (Little Mermaid), and Lady Gothel (Tangled).
"So, if it's a girl, it could be like Malecifent, that's how you say it?" she added. "It could be Scar, if it's a boy, love Scar. Misunderstood a little bit. What else? Gaston. how could I forget Gaston. Ursula, classic, got to love Ursula. Lady Gothel, maybe I can call her Lady Gothel if it's a girl. So just been through these names. Telling you, I'm onto something."
