Gisele Bündchen’s Third Child Name: Is It Pedro?

Supermodel Gisele Bündchen recently announced she is expecting a new baby, which will be her first with boyfriend Joaquim Valente. Bündchen already shares two children, Vivian Lake, 11, and Benjamin Rein, 14, with ex-husband, NFL star, Tom Brady.

With the pregnancy announcement came speculation on what Bündchen and Valente will name their new addition. Some fans believe the child could be named Pedro or Pedro Valente Bündchen. Here’s why:

Family Names

Joaquim Valente has two brothers, Pedro and Gui Valente. The three brothers own a jiu-jitsu studio together in Miami. Gisele Bündchen first met Joaquim when her son Benjamin started taking jiu-jitsu classes at their studio. She soon began taking lessons as well, forming a close friendship with Joaquim.

A Loving Gesture

It’s very possible Bündchen has also formed a bond with Joaquim’s brothers, including Pedro Valente. Naming her child after someone special in Joaquim’s family would be a loving gesture.

Some fans think choosing Pedro for a boy would be a sweet tribute to Joaquim’s brother. It would also give the child a Brazilian name, connecting him to both sides of his heritage.

However, others point out that Pedro doesn’t exactly fit Bündchen’s previous naming style. With Vivian and Benjamin, she chose classic names. Pedro is much more trendy and common among Brazilian families.

Gisele Could Choose a More Unique Name

Bündchen may decide to go for something more unique or perhaps honor someone on her own side of the family. She and Brady picked Benjamin’s middle name, Rein, as a nod to Gisele’s late grandfather. She could continue this tradition.

Vivian’s middle name, Lake, was selected because it went well with her first name. Bündchen may similarly choose a middle name she thinks complements her chosen first name.

There is also a chance Bündchen will decide to give a feminine name to her baby if it’s a boy. She previously said she wanted to name her daughter Jack, but Brady wasn’t a fan. This time around she may get her wish for something less conventional.

Until the birth, the public can only speculate what name Gisele Bündchen and Joaquim Valente will give their bundle of joy. Bündchen is due sometime this spring.

While Pedro is a front-runner guess among fans, the name is far from guaranteed. Bündchen may decide to honor someone else special in her life. She could also forgo tribute names and simply pick something she finds beautiful.

A Peaceful and Loving Energy

Bündchen has spoken about wanting to surround her child with “peaceful and loving” energy. This intention may guide her naming process above all else. She’ll choose the name that feels right to her when she meets her new baby.

No matter what his name is, this little one is sure to be showered with love and joy. Bündchen is clearly thrilled to be experiencing motherhood again, now with her boyfriend Joaquim Valente.
