Helena Bonham Carter And Tim Burton Name Their Child

 
August 7, 2008 
 

Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton have named their daughter Nell.

The couple - who welcomed their first daughter into the world eight months ago - previously never disclosed the baby's name, but Helena has now confirmed she decided to call the child after "all the Helens in the family."

Helena, who also has a four-year-old son Billy Ray with Tim, said she is determined for both her children to know all the aspects of their heritage. She added: "I feel quite atavistic in the sense that I want them to know where they come from."

Helena also revealed the reasons behind her choosing to star as a Jewish mother in Paul Weiland's new partly-autobiographical movie 'Sixty Six.'

She told The Jewish Journal: "I had not 'done' Jewish before. So when Paul phoned up and said, 'Will you be my mother?' I said, 'Yes, of course' - almost for sentimental reasons."

"My own mum was triumphant, because I'm quite Jewish on her side of the family. My mum's grandmother was an Austrian Jew called Mitzi Fould-Springer."

"People think of me as so quintessentially English. But actually I look just like my mum - dark-eyed and very Jewish."
