Hello, hello, hello...
Vice President J.D. Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance are celebrating the arrival of their fourth child, baby boy Alec Neel Vance. But Naughty But Nice hears the newborn almost had a very different—and far more political—name.
“J.D. floated the idea of naming the baby Donald,” one Washington insider tells Naughty But Nice. “He thought it would be the ultimate tribute to President Trump. J.D. knows the President appreciates loyalty, and he believed it would be a meaningful gesture.”
According to sources, Usha wasn’t buying it.
“She shut it down—politely, but firmly,” another insider reveals. “Usha wanted their son’s name to reflect their family, not make a political statement. She wasn’t about to turn her newborn into a headline before he could even walk.”
Friends say the couple ultimately agreed on Alec Neel Vance, a name that reflects the private family life they’ve tried to preserve despite living under the intense glare of Washington. The birth is also historic, with Alec becoming the first child born to a sitting U.S. vice president in more than 150 years.

“J.D. knew when to surrender,” a Republican insider laughs. “He may be Vice President of the United States, but at home he knows exactly who gets the final vote.”
President Trump congratulated the Vance family on their newest arrival. But if anyone was hoping to see a little Donald Vance toddling through the halls of the Naval Observatory, they’ll have to keep imagining it.

And remember… if you’re going to be naughty, you’ve got to be nice. 💋
So they named him after Alec Baldwin instead.
