A Brief Explanation of Why A California Actress Would Want To Name One Twin Daughter After A Country Singer from Locust Ridge, Tennessee

We read often yesterday that Rebecca Romijn had named a daughter for country singer Dolly Parton... but no mention of why she would want to name a daughter after Dolly Parton.

(Just to recap: Romijn had twin daughters: Dolly Rebecca Rose and Charlie Tamara Tulip. Fraternal twins, not identical, says People.)

A little digging turns up this Romijn quote from last August:

"I have been a Dolly fan all of my life. She is a wonderful woman. I really connect with her music and I can't think of a better role model for my children."

Well, OK.

But why not name the other twin for Porter Wagoner?
