Baby's Name: Revealed!



Rumors online have flourished for months stating that the name of Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter's December-born daughter was Indiana Rose Burton. But on January 31st, this was proven to be incorrect.

Weeks onward, the name had not been decided or revealed. Now, the baby's name has been revealed: Emily Kim Burton. The exact reason behind the name is unknown, but if it was a conscious decision, it is likely that her first and middle names were patterned after the names of two characters in the films of her father: Kim being the name of Winona Ryder's character in Edward Scissorhands (a very personal film for Burton), and Emily from the animated film Corpse Bride (who was voiced by her mother, Bonham Carter).

This is Burton and Bonham Carter's second child. Their first, Billy Ray Burton, was born in October 2004.

Congratulations to the happy family!

Ah , what a sweet and simple name . I was hoping they'd take names from Burton's films . Emily Victoria may have been good , as well but...true...Edward Scissorhands is a very personal film for me , as well .

A much more fitting name than Indiana Rose , at any rate . Where the feck did people get THAT , I'd like to know ?

I like that a lot better than Indian. Beautiful name for a beautiful little gril who has a wondeful set of parents.

I know, Deppthinker, where did everyone get that idea? It's not that flattering...

I have heard Johnny Depp protested against this name..... that his brilliant ideas for the name were cast aside.

Ruby: This was an April Fool's Day joke. Her real name is indeed Nell.
