Jason Lee isn’t quite as bad as Bob Geldolf when it comes to giving his kids embarrassing names, but he came close with his eldest son: Pilot Inspektor, now eight. Pilot is from Lee’s previous relationship, with a woman named Beth Riesgraf. (He was married from 1995-2001 to his first wife, Carmen Llywelyn, and they didn’t have any kids. She dished a lot of dirt and accusations about him, and about Scientology, to the National Enquirer a couple of years ago.) Jason is now remarried and has just welcomed a son, Sonny, his second child with second wife, Ceren Lee. They also have a three and a half year-old daughter named Casper. So as far as baby names go Sonny is fine I guess, all things considered. It sounds a little dated to me, but it’s not bad. Here’s the announcement from People, which conveniently leaves out Pilot’s middle name.
Jason Lee and wife Ceren welcomed a son, Sonny Lee, on Saturday, June 16 in Los Angeles, his rep tells PEOPLE exclusively. Arriving at 2:57 a.m., Sonny weighed in at 7 lbs., 6 oz.
The couple are already parents to daughter Casper, 3½, as well as son Pilot, 8½, from Lee’s prior relationship with Beth Riesgraf.
Lee, 42 — who wed his wife in July 2008, and renewed his vows last November — most recently guest-starred on NBC’s Up All Night as Maya Rudolph‘s character Ava’s love interest Kevin.

Well congratulations to Jason and Ceren. I know Jason has a longer career on television, but I’ve seen Alvin and The Chipmunks so many times that he’ll always be Dave to me. Dave, a nice normal, common name.

The only way to avoid big bro jealousy sibling rivalry whotsit is to name the kid, Sonny Andcher Lee.
My favourite celeb-spawn’s crazy name is Moxie Crimefighter. I think it’s totally awesome (no sarcasm) 🙂 .
You stole mine! LMAO
His wife is quite pretty.
Beth Riesgraf is not some random chick. She’s one of the stars of the show “Leverage.” http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0726360/
She’s my favorite! I had no idea she was Pilot Inspektor’s mom. Wow.
i had such a crush on him when I was growing up. He still looks good!
As I said on another thread, someone needs to name their kid Satan. I know the name carries a little bit of baggage but if you could put that to the side it’s quite a nice name and it’d make a hell of an impression on people.
On a semi-related theme I watched Dogma the other night for the first time in years. Jason Lee played a fallen angel in it and was quite good. While I was watching I wondered what became of him and poof he pops up here.
