U.K.’s Oldest Mum Names Her Baby
She’s just months away from the grandmotherly age of 67, but Elizabeth
Adeney, the U.K.’s oldest mum, has got the baby naming chops of a
31-year-old.
Her boy, born last week at 5 lb. 3 oz., has been
given a virtually unheard of, awkward to pronounce, easy to misspell name
loaded with meaning.
Hey, that’s what the young moms do!
Jolyon … Jolyon Adeney. It’s a variant of Julian and Julius and means “young at heart” (no question the baby’s young at heart … here’s hoping Mother is, too!).
Adeney became Britain’s oldest mom after getting pregnant and giving birth at 66. But she isn’t the world’s oldest mom — that’s Omraki Panwar, who gave birth to twins last year at 70.
Adeney looks great; that’s her in the picture at some point in her pregnancy. Reports say she has hired a live-in nanny and will continue working as a managing director of Delmore, a slipper factory in Mildenhall.
All the best to Mum and Jolyon!

I love the Forsythe Saga. I was totally addicted for a summer:)
There was a character in the BBC miniseries The Forsythe Saga name Jolyon (he was one of the more likable characters). It’s a great series, and while not a common name, the show was widely watched in the U.K.
