Kathie Lee Giffordâs son Cody and his wife Erika recently had their first baby. They named their son Frank Michael, after Codyâs late father Frank Gifford. Kathie Lee admitted that she was surprised that they chose the name Frank for her grandson.
She shared the news on TODAY with Hoda & Jenna. She said, âI was surprised Cody named him after his dad because Cody knew what it was like to grow up in the shadow of a great man. But I guess heâs never gotten over, really, and he never will, the loss of his dad at an early age and he was his hero and he still is.â
When asked what she would like the baby to call her eventually, she said, âI didnât give anybody a choice of what theyâre going to call me. I took the matters into my own hands. I have a dear friend down here and his Israeli mother, I asked her, âWhatâs a good word for a Jewish grandmother?â And she goes, âBubbalah. Itâs Bubbie.â Itâs a Yiddish word ⊠and it means dearest one, like cherished one. And the little kid only goes âba ba ba ba baâ anyway, so I think itâs going to be easy.â
Kathie Lee also shared some updates on how little Frank is doing. She said that he is nursing and doing really well after being born three weeks early. The couple also decided on the name Frank not only after Codyâs father but Erikaâs deceased uncle.
Erika shared some photos and updates online and wrote, âFrank âFrankieâ after Câs pops & Michael after my uncle who passed away last year at 61 whose name also means âgift of Godâ / Two strong men â gone but never forgotten.â
