AFL player, Daniel Giansiracusa, and his wife, Kelly, welcomed their son Otis, on September 8. Otis joins big sister Ruby Iris, who is nearly 3, and his birth was announced on Twitter.
Intriguingly, Otis Giansiracusa was born the day before Otis Redding’s birthday, but I don’t know if that was a factor in the choice of his name.
Daniel plays for the Western Bulldogs, and he and Kelly were married in December 2007.

I agree, a nice pair. I love Otis–simple, strong and striking. I also happen to love Otis Redding!
Welcome Marginamia, and thanks for commenting! I’m rather fond of Otis too. 🙂
Aren’t Tobey Maguire’s kids called Ruby and Otis as well?
Either way, it’s a nice pairing.
Ruby Sweetheart and Otis Tobias if I remember correctly.
Right, I was just going to say! The names must just be meant for each other 🙂 I think they’re cute together for sure, and Ruby Iris is gorgeous! I wonder if baby Otis has a middle name?
Thanks everyone for making the connection between another celebrity sibset called Ruby and Otis (surely not deliberate). I think the names are just a natural match. 🙂
Sophia, they never did announce the middle name, and sadly I’ve noticed that the first baby a celebrity couple has gets the big headline and photo in the paper and their full name announced, and as you see, for the second one I had to find out from Twitter 😦 But I’ll keep stalking, er, I mean researching!
