Shawn Johnson Eastis opening up about her son’s unique moniker.
“Going into the birth, we didn’t know if we were having a girl or a boy so we had a name for each that we loved!” Johnson East noted.
“We’re so happy we got to use the name Barrett Madison for our son and love calling him ‘Bear.’ We knew if we had a boy we wanted to pay tribute to Andrew’s dad who passed away last year and his name was Guy Madison East. Andrew’s Grandpa’s name was also Madison and it was later passed down to his dad, making it a really special family name.”
The newly minted mom of three shared that the couple settled on the middle name first and “fell in love with Barrett.”
