Rumer Willis (35), eldest daughter of Hollywood stars Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, proudly announced the birth of her first child in April. “Louetta Isley Thomas Willis. You are pure magic,” wrote the actress and partner of musician Derek Richard Thomas (28) on Instagram at the time.
Now Willis tells how daughter Louetta got her first name. “We were actually thinking of Loretta, but then there was a typo,” she told the US magazine “People”. Her husband accidentally forgot the “r” when sending SMS messages, instead adding a “u” so that the name Louetta came about.
But she was immediately enthusiastic about the involuntary change. Early in her pregnancy, Willis said she felt it was a kind of “divine intervention.” The parents also like the versatility of the name. Her daughter can also choose the abbreviations “Lou” or “Etta” – “whatever she wants”.
Rumer is the eldest child of Willis and Moore. The couple were married from 1987 to 2000 and have two younger daughters together: Scout, 32, and Tallulah, 29.
