A Texas mom welcomed a baby girl as a total solar eclipse unfolded on April 8, 2024, in Mansfield, Texas.
A Texas mother welcomed a baby girl during Monday’s total solar eclipse and named her Sol, which means « the sun » in Spanish.
Alicia Alvarez, 34, told « Good Morning America » she knew she wanted to choose a celestial name for her second child since she had already named her first child Luna, or « moon, » in Spanish.
« I loved how the sun and the moon sounded together. I was like, ‘Oh, that’s [a] perfect name, » the Fort Worth resident explained. « And then just to have her during the eclipse was, like, obviously not planned.
