Name of Sacha Baron Cohen’s Baby Revealed!

By Nathan Burstein March 4, 2011

Actress Isla Fisher is taking this whole Judaism thing seriously.

The “Wedding Crashers” star and her husband, “Borat” comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, have reportedly named their second child Elula, after the sixth month of the Hebrew calendar. The name is a female form of Elul, which usually falls in the late summer or early fall. The name is not one the Shmooze has heard before — even in Israel — although Sivan, the third month of the Hebrew calendar, is a fairly common girl’s name.

Elula joins an older sister, Olive, who was born before her mother’s conversion to Judaism.
