Kayleigh McEnany, former White House Press Secretary and Fox News personality, has just announced the name of her soon-to-arrive baby boy — and it’s a name so rare, data shows not a single child in the U.S. currently shares it.
In a heartwarming and emotional segment on Fox & Friends, McEnany shared the news while holding her ultrasound image and sitting next to her husband, Sean Gilmartin, a former MLB pitcher. The couple is expecting their second child in June.
“We wanted something meaningful, rooted in faith and family,” McEnany said through tears. “And we found a name that’s unlike any other.”
The Name: Zionel
Yes — Zionel. A blend of Zion (a biblical term representing heaven or the Promised Land) and El, the Hebrew word for “God.” According to name databases and Social Security baby name registries, Zionel has never been recorded as a legal name in the U.S.
