With such a talented gene pool to draw from, we're surprised Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel's baby didn't come out belting "Evita" or the closing number to Oliver.

The two Broadway veterans welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Walker Nathaniel Diggs, on Wednesday.

A rep for Diggs confirmed to Access Hollywood that all was well with the new family—despite the child having a name that will forever be associated with a really bad Chuck Norris television show about a Texan ranger, but we digress. When Dating, How Important Is Someone's Name?

Raj had me almost at hello, but he didn't seem to realize it. As so often happens, the same was true in the reverse, as well. We had sat in the park after a friend suggested we meet and shared stories from our lives. We parted with no further plans.

I'd become a bag lady lugging my life between our apartments just as the hobo chic look had lost its appeal.
