Zac Brown’s Baby Boy “Bubs”

Zac Brown and his wife welcomed their first son, Alexander Frost Brown, last May.  This week, Country Countdown USA’s Lon Helton spoke with Zac about his son’s name: “Alexander is my middle name, which is also my great-grandfather’s name.  My great-grandfather was 6 foot 7, he was a big dude.  When my son was born, he was 11 pounds 7 ounces.  He’s in 2 year old clothes now and he’s just 10 months old.  So I think he got some of the Alexander gene pool.  He is a giant kid!  He doesn’t fit in the car seat, he doesn’t fit in clothes, we have one of those seats that bounce, and it touches the floor when he’s in it.  I have a backpack that I carry him in, because you can’t carry him on your arm for long.  He’s like carrying a bowling ball.  But it’s fun watching my girls picking him up and carrying him around, being like little mamas to him, it’s awesome.”

So his name is Alexander, but what do you call him? “We don’t call him Alexander Frost.  The Frost came from Robert Frost, one of my favorite poets.  But we call him Bubs, for some reason, that’s what stuck.  It came from calling him Bubba, I guess, but that’s what everyone calls him.  So I guess he thinks that’s his name.”
