What’s in a name? Ask Paulina Gretzky

ERIN, Wis. (AP) Dustin Johnson has been in complete control of his golf game during his rise to No. 1.

But at home?

Paulina Gretzky calls the shots, especially when it comes to naming their children.

Johnson revealed Monday that their second child, another boy, was named River Jones Johnson. Asked where the name River came from, he said, ”Mama.”

The middle name was easy to explain. Jones is the maiden name of Gretzky’s mother (Janet Jones), and the last name of Johnson’s late grandmother (Carole Jones), his biggest influence during his teenage years.

But back to River.
