As the Black Widow star further explained her son’s name, Scarlett stated that both herself and her husband, ‘threw a bunch of letters together. I just really thought it was charming and our friends liked it.’
‘She kept suggesting other versions of it for a while. I was like, ‘He’s already here. He’s out. Like, it’s past that time,’ Scarlett lightheartedly added.
The Avengers alum expressed that her daughter, Rose, was a big fan of the name Cosmo, since, like herself, was based off of a flower.

‘Cosmo is a really sweet little flower that comes in different shades of orange and yellow and stuff like that,’ the talented actress explained during the interview. ‘That’s why my daughter liked it too.’
Scarlett and Colin, who married in 2020, announced the arrival of their son in August 2021.
Colin has also told how his mother ‘didn’t quite understand’ their choice for their son’s name, when he made a guest appearance on Late Night With Seth Myers.
‘After three or four days, she would be like, ‘Cosmo? Is it final? Did you submit the birth certificate?’ We were like, ‘Oh yeah, we did that at the hospital’
‘She’s like, ‘OK. Interesting. Because I was reading that there’s also a name, Cosimo, with an ‘I’. So that could also be an option. Maybe you call him Cosimo, that’s his real name, and then you could call him still Cosmo?’ the comedian added.
