Melissa Rivers' husband, John Endicott, filed for divorce in Los Angeles on
Wednesday, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple's son, Cooper, will be
18 months old tomorrow.
Rivers, an E! Entertainment Television producer and host, married the horse
breeder in 1998 after a six-year relationship. The daughter of comic Joan
Rivers, she met Endicott on the horse circuit, where she rides jumpers.
But the split is amicable, and Cooper is the paramount concern of both parents.
"They've agreed to share joint custody," a spokesman for the younger Rivers
tells us.
Grandma Joan, who does red-carpet commentary with her daughter at the Oscars,
told us yesterday, "It makes me truly, truly sad. Both Melissa and John tried
very hard. But people sometimes change and grow apart."

Well, it was her father's name.
IIRC, the lad is "Edgar Cooper Endicott," and they call him Cooper.

Yes I know that :) IMHO, if you're going to name the kid after your Dad and not
call him by it, why bother to make it his first name in the first place? I
would've switched them around.

It happens. My first name is the same as my fathers, but they intended me to
be called by my middle name, so I wouldn't be a 'junior'
Didn't work out, but it happens.

In the Jewish religion, it is a sign of great respect to name a child with the
first letter of the name of a beloved diseased relative.
If the father was "Edgar," the child would be named "Eugene" or "Edward," etc.
Joan Rivers' husband was Jewish. I do not know if she or her daughter are
Jewish.

I believe Joan Rivers is jewish too. Anyway, my son has his paternal
grandfather's name too - but only as a middle name. I didn't want to saddle him
with the name Philippe for a first name. Of course that doesn't mean its right
or wrong if others do. I personally don't care for the name Edgar that's all.

A "diseased" relative?!? :-) I know you meant "deceased", but bless you -
that's the biggest belly laugh I've had in a week. I think I'll call around
and ask who in my family is currently diseased so I can keep them in mind
for baby names.

It's a long time tradition in our family to make the first name that
of a close relative and the second name is the one the person gets
called. I was named after my grandmother who lived close to our
family. So I've been called by my middle name most of my life, as was
my next younger sister who was named after an aunt. It's confusing at
times, especially when dealing with institutions that insist on my
full first name on their records (banks, places where I earned degrees
etc).
(I am Mary Rebecca, and generally use M. Rebecca officially wherever
possible. Which is how the nickname "Emma" for the "M" arose a long
time ago, although the friends who did that stopped calling me Emma
after a while. But I was using it on the internet by then and stuck
with it on newsgroups where I started out using that name. I use
"Rebecca" on groups where I started posting later on - which is really
confusing sometimes. I'm phasing out the "Emma" although I like it,
it's my great-grandmother's name.)
My father was named after his dad and the family used his middle name,
which was "Earl" when he was growing up. He switched to his first name
"Thomas" as an adult. It always cracked my sisters and I up to hear my
dad called "Earl" when relatives visited from out of town.

I for one like it! I mean in 20 years we're gonna be overflowing with
Tiffanys, Mathews and Joshs...
There will be no Mildreds, Harrys, Marthas, Bettys, Henrys or
Edgars..This kid will stand out because his parents were brave enough
to give him a name that didn't fit the latest fashion...

Oh my god. There are people on this earth who question
whether or not Joan Rivers is jewish?!!!!

I'm all for selecting a unique name for a child...but that one in particular is
not appealing to ME IMHO.
