She's gonna be somebody's baby

JANUARY 30, 2008

Times pop music critic Sean Daly is a proud new father of a baby daughter.

Sean just called to say his family's new addition was born today at 7:29 a.m. and weighs 7 pounds, 8 ounces. She's 20 inches long. The baby and mother are doing great.

And who wins the sweepstakes for the name? It's a push! There still is no official name, Sean says! Although, people in the delivery room were calling her "Maya Rose."

But here's the best part: It turns out Baby Maya is going to be an '80s baby. Sean says that as he was carrying the newborn to the nursery, Journey's "Faithfully" was playing nice and loud. Then came "Jump" by Van Halen. Then "Mysterious Ways" by U2 and finally .... "Relax" by Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

Sean sang along to each tune, thus ensuring his new daughter is just as much stuck in the '80s as her old man.
