Was a pregnant Chyler Leigh inspired by Friends quotes or a certain Marley & Me and He's Just Not That Into You star when picking baby names? Who knows, but ...
"We're going with Aniston," the Grey's Anatomy star tells The Insider.
Leigh, 26, who plays Lexie Grey on the medical drama, is due in May. Aniston - if she's serious - will be her third child. The name may be unusual, but could be worse.
Chyler Leigh and husband Nathan West (who met on the 7th Heaven set) are parents, of a son Noah, 5, and a daughter, Taelyn, 2. We're excited for the new addition!

I actually have a friend who has a sister who named their child Aniston. And they ain't celebs! But for sure, I think it was inspired by Jennifer Aniston. Really could be worse though.

It's certainly not the weirdest name I've ever heard. It doesn't say whether the child will be a girl or a boy, but if it's a girl, they could nickname her Ani.
Congratulations Chyler!

There's another interview where Chyler explains how her and her husband name their kids. They have a bet on who can guess the sex of the baby. Whoever is right gets to pick the first name, the loser the middle name. Her husband won, it's going to be a girl.
Congrats!
