About a month ago, the actor’s eldest son came into the world Ofer Schechter and his wife Xenia. At the age of 41, the beloved actor became a father for the first time in his life, and now, in a post he uploaded to his Instagram page, he revealed the original name he chose for his son – like me
“A month and a bit on the ball, literally… the boy is on the planet, the father is on the physio ball. For those who asked, his name was Eli. I wanted Kelly after the greatest surfer of all time, but Ksenia said it wasn’t a Jewish name and suggested Kali, I was immediately turned on, too About the sound and also about the meaning. Ksenia also liked but said that her son would be called Ari. All the way she was sure that he would be called Ari. Then he came out, after two days she told me ‘it won’t help no matter how many times I tried the name Ari on him, he’s like Eli’ I felt.”
“And if that sounds strange to you, then just know that the first Yahli was also looked at and now all the children are called Yahli. Except for mine, who is called Eli. That would be two letters Mihli. There is no sweeter happiness than that.”
