His birth certificate may read Walker Nathaniel Diggs, but Taye Diggs and wife Idina Menzel are calling their baby boy anything but his given name.

“I’m worried that he doesn’t know his name because we have so many nicknames for him,” the Private Practice star told Ellen DeGeneres during a Friday appearance on her show.

Often referring to the 6-month-old as Skywalker, Walkman, Walkathon, and Little Papa, Diggs’ favorite seems to be Swirl.

“Because he’s chocolate and vanilla swirl … and then on the back of his head he’s got a little swirl,” he explains, adding, “I love him so much!”

And Walker isn’t the only one with a new moniker — Diggs laughs that his own first name is a thing of the past. “These days my name has turned into, ‘Honey, could you just,’” he jokes.

“‘Honey, could you just get me some tea? Honey could you just get the baby seat?’ It’s always right when I’m about to sit down. ‘Honey, could you just…’ ‘Yes, baby!’ ‘Honey, could you just…’ ‘Yep, I’m right there!’”

It’s a boy for Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel. The couple welcomed a son, Walker Diggs, on Wednesday, the couple’s reps confirm to People.

“Mother, father and son are all doing well,” the reps said in a statement.

The Broadway belters announced the pregnancy in March, later sharing that the baby was a boy.

Although they had a few names in mind, Diggs said they were waiting to make a final decision.

“We have a couple [names] in the running,” the Private Practice star explained. “But part of us wants to see what he hits us with when we see him. We’ll see what he looks like.”

Walker is the first child for Menzel and Diggs, who are both 38 and met on the 1996 Broadway production of Rent. They wed in January 2003.

Did you guys catch that India was actually on Private Practice last week? She played the mother of the allergic boy…or Tim Daly’s love interest!

After 13 years together, Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel are expecting their first baby, their rep exclusively confirms to Usmagazine.com. The baby is due later this year.

The Private Practice star, 38, and the Tony award-winning actress, 37, first met on the original 1996 Broadway production of Rent in NYC. After seven years of dating, they got married in January 2003.

Menzel hinted to Us last January that once she finished promoting her third solo album, I Stand, she would consider starting a family with Diggs.

“It’s definitely in the plans,” she told Us. “I’ll settle down and start popping out some babies.”

She said Diggs has been ready for kids since “the day I met him.”

“He wouldn’t talk about marriage, but he’d talk about me having his children,” she told Us. “He’s always wanted kids. He grew up with four younger brothers and sisters, so he’s very comfortable around children.”

How do they keep their marriage together?

“We just really work hard to try to stay best friends,” Menzel told Us. “I love him so much, and I feel like we both have each other’s backs, and we have a great respect for each other. We’re enjoying each new phase of our lives together.”
