On the supermodel’s Pretty Big Deal podcast, the duo revealed that they have chosen the moniker: Isaac Menelik Giovanni Ervin.

But it wasn’t a hard decision for new father Ervin, as he has had a son’s name picked out since school.

“I knew it was going to be Isaac, from here until then,” he said.

Meanwhile, Menelik is a tribute to the first emperor of Ethiopia which the couple learned while holidaying there over the festive break. 

“Menelik is the first emperor of Ethiopia. It also means ‘son of the wise,'” Graham explained. “And Menelik was the son of Queen of Sheba and King Solomon.”

“Everything in his name is pointing to legacy,” Ervin added.

In terms of Giovanni, the couple both have grandparents called John and it’s also a touching nod to Ervin’s Italian roots.

The couple confirmed that they welcomed a baby boy last month.

The pair announced that they were expecting back in August 2019; sharing the news of the safe arrival of their son via a celebratory Instagram story post earlier this morning.
