A few months ago, Benedict Cumberbatch and wife Sophie Hunter gifted the world a tiny, perfect Cumberbaby – it was a struggle to contain all our feelings at that point, and it still is, tbqh.
Today, the thespian and his director wife have seen fit to bestow further blessings upon the world by revealing the name of said infant: Christopher Carlton Cumberbatch.
Does that name not roll off the tongue in a post pleasing fashion? Are you not weeping at its sheer, mellifluous perfection? Benno done good with that one.
Of the many famous Christophers to choose from – Hemwsorth, Brown, Pratt, Robin, Rock, Pine, Evans, Martin, Tucker, Daughtry, etc – this particular Chris is named after a character that Benedict played in the BBC series Parade’s End.
The middle name Carlton has been passed down for several generations in the Cumberbatch family. We are all much better off for knowing this information. Go now. Go, and be free.
