Tessa James and Nate Myles reveal baby’s ‘illegal’ name

The couple welcomed their new bub in February.

Over the weekend, former Home And Away star Tessa James and NRL player husband Nate Myles’ finally revealed the name of their new bub.

Presumably taking inspiration from one of the most famous couple’s in the world – Kim Kardashian and Kanye West,  who named their son Saint in 2015 – the Aussie couple decided to give their son the name Saynt. 

The unusual spelling for the name is believed to be because it is against Victoria law to call a child ‘Saint.’

Saint is just one of the names under the Births, Deaths and Marriages Registrations Act 1996 because it resembles and official rank or title recognised in Australia, and could be deemed confusing.

James, 27, and Myles, 32, who recently moved from Melbourne to Los Angeles so that James could work on her acting career, welcomed their little boy earlier this year.

In February, the actress announced the news on Instagram with a black and white photo of Myles pushing their newborn in a stroller.

James captioned the pic, citing children’s book Winnie the Pooh, ‘As soon as I saw you I knew a grand adventure was about to happen.’
