Happy Belated Birthday - The Roberts-Moder Twins!


Happy Belated 4th Birthday to twins Phinneaus (Finn) Walter & Hazel Patricia Moder

Twin son & daughter of actress Julia Roberts & husband camera man Danny Moder. Big brother and sister to Henry Daniel, 17 months

Born November 28, 2004

Meaning & Origin of PHINNEAUS WALTER & HAZEL PATRICIA: Phinneaus is of Hebrew origin meaning "oracle". Walter is of German origin meaning "powerful ruler" or "commander of the army". Hazel is of Old English origin of the "hazel tree". Patrica is of Latin origin, to mean "noble one"

It has been reported that Julia chose the boys name and Danny the girls name. However one report suggests that it was Julia who chose Hazel, which she came up with whilst thinking of the name of the nicest person she ever had known and thought of a little girl she went to school with. The twins' middle names come from their grandparents - Walter is Julia's father's name and Patricia is Danny's mother's name

Trivia - The time of birth of the twins was 1.21 and 1.22 respectively. Funnily enough, when third child Henry Daniel was born, his time of birth was 1.23
