I doubt we'll see her photographed in public for a while. If she's breastfeeding then NO BOTOX or any other cosmetic surgical procedures are allowed! She looked like a drag queen who'd swallowed a pillow while she was pregnant.
Still, Max is a sensible and cool name. Much better than Harlow which is the awful choice of name for Nicole Richie's daughter!

That's a really sweet name, it's nice that they gave him a normal name but with a beautiful meaning behind it =)

Liron also means "my joy" (and "my song" as well…). Finally someone who actually did their homework for the name’s meaning before using it… With all the money that Tom Cruise has, he should have bought a Hebrew dictionary just to find out the Suri means a Syrian male or “get out of here” for a female… and he claimed it was what?!…

Perez, the name Liron does not mean my song. The name Shiri means my song, not Liron. However, Liron is a common Israeli name

Hebrew names seem to be the Hollywood trend now. Suri, Shiloh, Moses and now Max Liron. So much better than Audio Science and Moxie Crimefighter.
LOVE THE NAME! says – reply to this

126

MAX IS AN EXTREMELY POPULAR NAME IN THE BEAUTIFUL JEWISH CULTURE. MY HUSBAND IS JEWISH AND WE CONSIDERED THIS NAME BUT THEN WENT WITH ADAM. AS A RULE, JEWISH PEOPLE DON'T DO THE JR., II, or III, after a child's first name. THE BELIEF IS HELD THAT ALL ARE UNIQUE AND CARRY AN INDIVIDUAL SPIRIT, REQUIRING A NAME OF THEIR OWN. VERY SIMILAR TO NATIVE AMERICAN LOGIC.

I hope Mrs. Bratman and her family does well. Seems when a girl marries a gentleman and flourishes, that means it's a good match. Mazel Tov!

I think that is just wonderful. I love the meaning behind the name and how yet, it's still simple and classy. Congratulations to Christina & Jordan on their new little baby boy.
Ashley says – reply to this

137

Awww….that's possibly the cutest thing ever. Good to see a celeb who knows how to name a baby (although Nicole did well too).
Haha…my local news station is reporting that Christina's people are still denying the birth. No wonder I started coming here for info.

His name is such a beautiful sentiment. Congratulation Christina!
no lies says – reply to this

147

Christina is not Jewish and to my knowledge has not converted. It's ridicoulous to give the baby a Jewish name because he's not Jewish. Under Jewish law you're Jewish if your mother is. Christina isn't so her baby is not a Jew.
Christina's wedding was also not kosher. Under Jewish law only two Jews can be married under the chuppa. Since Christina did not convert her wedding was not a real Jewish ceremony. Jews should marry Jews and Christians should marry Christians. Enough of this intermarriage crap!

Liron means my gift, not song. I think the translation you were given is mistaken. You're my hero Perez!!!! xxoo
Kay says – reply to this

153

You guys are morons .. you think your so smart by saying "oH no max or liron actually means" this and that. If you had any intelligence names can have so many different meanings in different cultures. Do your research and look up the meanings and from what I found Perez is correct

The origin of the name Max is Lating meaning "The Greatest"
Liron in Hebrew is "My Song"

GetOverYourselves says – reply to this

162

Are you freaking kidding me? You guys are seriously trying to one up one another about the meaning of a child's name?? I am one of perhaps many who e-mailed Perez with the meaning "my song" for Liron. Max is also "greatest" so it stands to reason that she deucted that together the name would mean "My Greatest Song". While I am fully aware of the fact names have many names and origins, it does not take a rocket scientist to simply google baoth of the names as I did and you will find MANY websites with name origins do indeed have the meanings listed as the following: Max is a boy's name and is Latin and means "Greatest" and Liron is a Unisex name of Hebrew origin that means "My Song". One word, GOOGLE….you should try it before you try to shoot down others.

Christina's husband is JEWISH, so thats why she picked Liron. You all need to get a life and stop attacking Christina for little things such as the name of her baby. I love you Christina!

לכל הישראלים העילגים, תפסיקו לעשות פדיחות. אם אתם לא יודעים עברית עדיף שתשתקו.
רון = שיר
תסתכלו במילון - רון היא מילה נרדפת לשיר לא ל joy!
ולירון היה במקור שם של בן, וכמו הרבה שמות אחרים, התחילו לתת אותו גם לבנות.

"My song" in Hebrew……………that would be nice….looked too creepily like
L Ron as in Hubbard, she isn't a closet scino is she?
chillin says – reply to this

193

i guess this means that xtina isn't planning on getting buried next to her husband, since defacement of the body (tattoos included) is against jewish law, and most jewish cemeteries don't allow you to be buried there if you have tats. that's how you can really tell which celebs are just hitting up judaism/kabbalah as a trend (brit, etc), because if they actually knew enough about it they'd know that getting tatted/esp. tattoos in hebrew is frowned upon. oh the irony.

Liron is not "my song" in Hebrew, and Max is not "the greatest"? I don't know where she got those translations.
