Why Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson named their son Ace Knute

YESTERDAY, Jessica Simpson announced the name of her newborn son - Ace Knute Johnson.

... and Twitter erupted.
Simpson and fiance Eric Johnson's unusual choice of middle name attracted most of the criticism.
The couple reportedly chose Knute in honour of Johnson's Swedish grandfather.
Knute Rockne was also regarded as one of the greatest coaches in American football history.
The child's first name, Ace, which is an unusual, but not unheard of name, means "first".
Some critics on Twitter speculated that Ace would be subject to a lifetime of bullying for his name, with one suggesting he would be nicknames "Ass Nut Johnson".
Simpson was also lambasted 14 months ago for naming her daughter Maxwell, which was described as an "elderly man's name" by some.
