Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are being brutally attacked online for the unusual name they gave their fourth child.
The couple welcomed their fourth baby in February 2023, but kept their child’s name and gender a secret… until now.
While onstage at the Deadpool & Wolverine premiere in New York City on Monday night, the actor, 47, thanked his wife Blake, 36, and his four children by name, finally revealing his youngest son’s nickname.
But many people online were quick to criticise the baby’s name, with some calling it “weird”.
It turns out that his fourth son is called Olin; the name is of Norse origin and means heir of the ancestor or to inherit.

While onstage at the Deadpool & Wolverine premiere on Monday night, the actor, 47, revealed that his baby’s name was Olin, and many people on the web were quick to criticize the moniker.
It is normally a male name, however, Blake and Ryan have not yet revealed the gender of the child.
Social media users were sure to have opinions on the moniker, with one person writing: ‘Celebrity challenge giving their kids decent names – failed.’
‘Are you sure you’re not missing some letters?’ another person asked in response to a post about the name.
“Strange name,” added another user.
“I see we’re making up names,” a fourth tweet said, while a fifth said: “What the hell does that mean?”
However, others were supportive. Another person said enthusiastically: “Wait, I love that.”
“Okay, cute,” said a different user; someone else chimed in: “Okay, cute.”
Some users joked that Taylor Swift was going to incorporate Olin into one of her songs, as the singer had previously named characters in her songs after Blake and Ryan’s other children.
Others, however, supported the A-list couple’s choice.
