Famous celebrity couple Tom Hardy and Charlotte Riley finally revealed the name of their new baby boy. According to reports, the proud parents named their little one after Hardy’s favorite film—Forrest Gump, a character portrayed by Tom Hanks.
But before the couple finally settled for “Forrest,” Twitter users tried guessing their second baby’s name after Cosmopolitan UK posted a hint on it.

And the guesses were nothing short of hilarious!
Since almost everyone likes “Star Wars”, why not named his son after this Wookie warrior, right?
I'm sure Chewbacca Hardy is a beautiful bouncy baby boy

But “Godzilla” wasn’t even a bad idea
Wishing young Godzilla all the best
