“Good Morning. I was thinking about… I don’t know the gender; I don’t know if we’re having a girl or a boy. So, I’m thinking about some names, and I was like, maybe I should do something with my favorite Disney characters because I love Disney, and as you know, I’m like their biggest fan.”

William, a massive fan of the animation company, added, “So, if it’s a girl, it could be like Maleficent, [Maleficent], that’s how you say it?” She continued, “It could be Scar if it’s a boy, love Scar; misunderstood a little bit. What else? Gaston. How could I forget Gaston? Ursula,[is a] classic, got to love Ursula. Lady Gothel, maybe I can call her Lady Gothel if it’s a girl.

In the end, the professional athlete enthusiastically gushed, “So, just been through these names. Telling you I’m onto something.” A slew of fans underneath the post used the opportunity to suggest names for Williams’ unborn child while others gave their opinions on the ones she selected.

One fan suggested, “Olympia is Alexis Olympia = A.O., Australian Open. Hear me out, Roland Garros, or even Ashe for Arthur Ashe. Hercules, if you want Disney. Aurora, if girl!” 

Another fan commented, “Nala, Ursula or Megara for a girl ? and if its a boy, Naveen, Maui, or James after Captain James Hook ?.” A third follower, who was not a fan of the names she picked, stated, “No and No.” 

“How about after you, your hubby[,] or another family member? I know it’s not Disney, ijs. Congrats ?,” an endearing fan suggested. A fifth fan quipped, “Or it could just be Disney ?.”

Wiliams and Ohanian have plenty of names to choose from if they eventually decide to name their second child after a Disney character. But before all this, the public basked in the thrill of her pregnancy announcement. The NAACP Image Awards winner shocked her fans when she posted photos of herself, her husband, and her cute baby bump at the 2023 M.E.T. Gala.

In the caption, to announce the good news, the expecting mom wrote an exhilarating wordplay that read, “Was so excited when Anna Wintour invited the 3 of us to the Met Gala.”
