Jaime Pressly gives birth to a boy!
My Name is Earl star Jaime Pressly and her deejay fiancé, Eric Cubiche, welcomed a baby boy, Dezi James, on Friday, her rep tells PEOPLE.
The child was born at 7:31 a.m. in Los Angeles and weighed 6 lbs. 4 oz.
The Emmy-nominated actress, 29, who also designs the clothing line J’aime, told PEOPLE the name is part of a running joke – the Cuban-American Cubiche, 33, does a Desi Arnaz impersonation, calling Pressly “Luuucy” when he comes home at night. James is her father’s name.
The couple were friends for more than nine years and dated for a year and a half before getting engaged in October, when Cubiche presented Pressly with a ring they had designed together.
“I was just kind of peeking around every corner and searching in every drawer to see when I was going to get it,” she says.
The couple are in no rush to get married. “I do want to be a princess for a day,” Pressly told PEOPLE last year, “but it’s not necessary to do that before you have kids. A lot of women do it later.”

so they named their kid after a inside joke? Poor thing is going to get his butt handed to him at school

Dezi is a relatively normal name, compared to Pilot Inspektor or Audio Science. And why not name your kid after something that only has meaning to the parents? Lots of people do that, right? I like that.
