Say hello to the Timberbaby, Silas Randall Timberlake.
Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel confirmed the birth of their baby boy to People on Saturday. And it seems the couple opted to choose a fairly normal name with heaps of sentimental value. Silas was the middle name of Timberlake's late grandfather, according to IMDb, while Randall is Timberlake's father's name (the singer's own middle name is also Randall).

As of two months ago, Timberlake and Biel said they weren't sure what sex the baby would be, as the couple decided to keep it a surprise.
