1000-Lb. Sisters star Amy Halterman gave birth to her second child this week. From the moment Amy found out she was pregnant, she’s always shared updates with fans.
Although Amy was originally due on July 18, she scheduled a C-section for July 5 instead. According to reports, Glenn Allen Halterman altered the world on July 5 and is doing quite well.
But how exactly did the Haltermans come up with that name? Keep reading to find out more.
Amy Halterman loves horror-themed names
As 1000-Lb. Sisters fans know, the Haltermans are a unique bunch. So it hardly comes as a surprise to many fans that Amy decided she wanted to name her kids after horror movie characters. Her oldest son is named “Gage” after the character in Pet Sematary. She confirmed in an Instagram thread that the second baby would also have a horror-inspired name.
But where did she get “Glenn” from?
Amy hasn’t been very active on social media since she gave birth. She did post a few photos of the new baby, but hasn’t answered any questions yet. So fans can’t be certain where she took the name from, but they do have a few ideas.
The 2004 horror movie Seed of Chucky follows Glen, the son of serial killer Chucky and his wife, Tiffany Valentine. The spelling is different, but this seems to be the most likely source of the name. “Glenn” isn’t a common name in scary movies.
Do you think that Michael and Amy Halterman named their son after a Chucky character? Be sure to leave your own thoughts in the comments.
What lies ahead for the TLC personality?
When 1000-Lb. Sisters Season 3 came to a close, Amy wasn’t yet pregnant with baby Glenn. However, her doctor caught wind of her pregnancy dreams and felt really concerned for the TLC star. When he performed the bariatric surgery, he advised waiting several years before she tried to have children. Now, Amy has had two pregnancies within two years. She didn’t wait and the doctor was rightly worried about her.
If 1000-Lb. Sisters returns for Season 4, fans will likely get to follow Amy’s pregnancy journey. It’s not yet known if she has any weight-related health issues now as a result of her pregnancies, but it could be possible. For now, fans just have to wait and see if Amy’s doctor’s fears came to life.
But in the meantime, fans can follow Amy Halterman on Instagram and keep up with her family and new baby boy. Without a doubt, she will post more pictures in the upcoming days.
