Hayden Panettiere and Wladimir Klitschko welcome daughter Kaya Evdokia

Hayden Panettiere has welcomed her first child with her fiance, Wladimir Klitschko. The couple announced on Saturday that their daughter, Kaya Evdokia Klitschko, was born on December 9 and that she measured 20 inches long and weighed 7 lbs., 14 oz. They also gave the obligatory “over the moon” statement (TM Michael K) and told People that “We are over the moon and madly in love!” I know everyone says that, but it’s cute and I believe it about them. Plus I appreciate how open they were to the press.

Hayden was never one to be private about the details of her pregnancy. She revealed that she was having a girl and admitted that she’d gained 40lbs, which she was very uncomfortable with. Hayden told Hello! last month that she was “going to be a very hands on mom” and that she was thrilled to have a girl “because I feel like I know a lot about raising a strong woman.” Hayden and Wladimir must be thrilled to finally meet their baby.

What are your thoughts on the name? I think Kaya is a unique name that’s still very pretty and non-stigmatizing. You know that’s always a concern with unique celebrity baby names. A quick search tells me that it’s Jamaican slang for marijuana, although I’ve never heard of that before. Evdokia is a name with Greek origins, which is surprising to me because Klitschko is from The Ukraine. I wonder if it’s a family name. Anyway congratulations to Hayden and Wladimir on their new arrival!
