Kate Winslet is currently promoting Divergent, and during an interview with Ellen DeGeneres on Tuesday she chatted about her new film, the recent Los Angeles earthquake and yup, the reason she and hubby Ned Rocknroll chose to name her third child Bear Blaze.

Kate told Ellen:
    "We were thinking about names during the pregnancy and actually I had never…when I was pregnant with Mia and when I was pregnant with Joe I didn’t name them before they came out because I always felt like I just have to see them and see who they’re going to be. But of course, this time around there’s Mia and Joe and the whole pregnancy is about what are we gonna call the baby. So it was really lovely actually they were very much included and we settled on Bear quite early on. A friend of mine when I was younger was nicknamed Bear and I just had always really loved it. And he was very much a bear. He was everyone’s shoulder to cry on he was a big bear hug, he was a great figure in my life and I just had always remembered him and so that’s where it came from. And then Bear’s second name is Blaze because my husband and I met in a house fire basically. Well, we did."


Winslet is referring to the 2011 fire on Richard Branson's Necker Island resort, and she actually rescued Branson's 90-year-old mother from the blaze, so clearly it was a very intense time for the family.

“The house burned down and we survived,” she added. “But we wanted something of the fire, and so Blaze was the name that we came up with.” However, Bear’s last name is Winslet, and when asked why it isn’t Rocknroll, Winslet replied: “Why do you think, Ellen?”

At least she's aware of how it sounds!
