Scarlett Johansson Reveals the Funny Way She Named Her Son
Do you ever wonder how your parents chose your name? Well, as it turns out, some, including Scarlett Johansson, leave the decision entirely up to fate.
In a new interview, the Black Widow star revealed how she and husband Colin Jost named their son, Cosmo.
Speaking with Kelly Clarkson on The Kelly Clarkson show Monday, the actress admitted that she and Jost initially "just threw a bunch of letters together" when trying to come up with the now-13-month-old's name.
Snd from that little game came the name Cosmo. "It just seemed like a refreshing—it's so charming. Our friends all liked it," Johansson said.
It did take a while for the Saturday Night Live star's mom to get on board, though. "She kept suggesting other versions of it and I'm like, 'No, he's already here, he's out,'" Johansson recalled.
Johansson is also mom to 8-year-old daughter Rose Dorothy, with ex-husband Romain Dauriac.
"I love that they're both flowers," Clarkson said on her show, referring to Rose and Cosmo (cosmos are colorful, daisy-like flowers).
"They are both flowers," Johansson said. "Not a lot of people make that connection. Cosmo is a really sweet little flower that comes in different shades of orange and yellow."
"That's why my daughter liked it too," she added.
Johansson and Jost married in October of 2020, after getting engaged in May of 2019. The two had dated for two years prior.
