Caroline Welcomes a Little Rhea of Sunshine

Former talk show host welcomes daughter Ava with longtime comic beau

Caroline Rhea has gone from erstwhile wacky aunt to brand-spankin'-new mama in one fell swoop.

The Sabrina, the Teenage Witch vet welcomed her first child with longtime stand-up comic boyfriend Costaki Economopoulos in New York Monday, according to People.

Daughter Ava Rhea Economopoulos tipped the scales at 8 pounds, 15 ounces and measured up at 22½ inches long.

As for that mouthful of a name, well, the parents did their best to minimize the damage.

"We wanted the shortest first name possible, since her last name is the alphabet," the 44-year-old Rhea told the magazine. "It was either that or Emmy, because I've always wanted an Emmy."

Something tells us Ava may be slightly more fulfilling in the long run.
