Matthew McConaughey Names Baby Boy

July 9th, 2008

Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves have revealed the name of their newborn son, saying they took the name from The Bible.

The couple told OK! Magazine that their new son, born on Monday (July 7), has been named Levi Alves McConaughey.

“Levi was another name for the apostle Matthew in The Bible. They were, in fact, two names for the same person,” McConaughey explains.

“Our son was born at 6:22pm, and this particular time represents my favourite verse in the book of Matthew in The Bible: ‘If thy eye be single, thy whole body will be full of light.”

They gave him the second name of ‘Alves’ to incorporate Camila’s family name, he added.

McConaughey and Alves also released a statement to fans saying, “We welcome Levi Alves McConaughey into this wonderful life and look forward to living in it with him. In the mean time and all times, just keep livin’.”
