If you were starting to get concerned that you might have to head into the long Labor Day weekend still not knowing why Alyssa Milano chose to bestow the name Milo Thomas on her newborn baby boy, take a deep sigh of relief, people.

That's because the proud mom has just hopped on Twitter to reveal the origin of the little guy's moniker.

Oh, and if you thought his first name is meant to be some kind of cute variation of Milano, think again...

"For all of you asking, Milo was named after his two Grandfathers, Miller and Thomas," Alyssa tweeted today. "Two very important men in my life."

Nice!

Honoring family members in this way is always a sweet gesture. Just ask Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy.

Meanwhile, the actress also gave fans an update on how mommyhood is coming along.

"Breastfeeding. Poop. And bliss," she wrote. "I love being Milo's mother!"

Enjoy, Alyssa, enjoy!
