Thomas Rhett and his wife, Lauren Akins, just recently welcomed their fifth child and first boy, Brave Elijah Akins.

Being as Brave isn’t a common name, Rhett explained how they landed on it when he was a guest on Country Countdown USA recently.

Rhett said that he and his wife were sitting down to enjoy a glass of wine, and when he picked up the bottle to see which kind it was, he was instantly inspired.

“The name of the wine was Mount Brave. So I asked Lauren about the name Brave for a boy. We loved what that word meant for a boy or girl,” he revealed.

After it was settled and their son or daughter’s first name was going to be Brave, the couple had a hard time picking a middle name.

The singer revealed, “We were in the hospital, they gave us the birth certificate, and we still didn’t have a middle name. I was reading Elijah’s story in the Bible, and he led an incredible life. So we settled on Brave Elijah.”

Rhett said “It’s surreal. I thought after our fourth girl, it wasn’t in the cards for me to have a boy. When we were in the hospital, I thought it was gonna be another girl. Having that surprise was one of the coolest moments in my life.”
