Reports the Boulder Weekly via the Washington Post:
Rep. Jared Polis, D-Boulder, and his partner Marlon Reis announced [Friday], Sept. 30, the birth of their first child, a baby boy. The baby, born weighing 8-pounds 12-ounces, is named Caspian Julius. Both parents and newborn are reportedly doing well.
In the birth announcement, Polis and Reis wrote, “Baby has learned to cry already!”
Caspian Julius Polis. If that’s not the name of a kid born to be either George Soros’ henchman or a Greek shipping magnate billionaire, we surely don’t know what is (we joke, at least the Greek shipping magnate billionaire part). Congratulations either way–it takes time, but kids eventually make up for the dirty diapers and 12-18 sleepless months in Jared’s future.

They’re going to be amazing parents. And if anyone teases Caspian Julius about his name on the playground, Polis can always buy the school and expel the bully.
I can’t wait to see Polis fussing over the little one in a stroller or rocking him as he burbles. Babies alone do little for me, but I tell ya, there is not a damn thing cuter than a dad with his baby.
I don’t mind saying it. It’s two beaming Dads and one lucky kid.
Jared, you should definitely have some more! How about a friendly competition with Branjelina? 🙂
I have a nephew named Caspian. Never met another. Wonder what inspired the name. Nephew’s dad is Persian and it’s from his side of the family. All the best to the happy family.
Prince Caspian is a character from C.S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia, of which a few have been made into movies recently.
The Caspian Sea (which is really a lake) is a popular place for people to visit who are visiting central Asia. Because it sits in the former Russian Empire, Caspian does come up from time to time in Russian families.
For both of these reasons, and I like how it sounds, it has always been a favorite name of mine.
Julius, not so much.
called the Caspian Tiger. My nephew with the Presian dad is named Caspian Darius, Darius after one of the famous Persian kings.
Actually! Jared is a huge Phish fan, an incredible jam band that is often compared to the Grateful Dead. Phish has two separate songs, Prince Caspian (yes, loosely based on the Narnia series) and Julius. Julius is way rocking and Caspian can come and go. But yeah, Jared named his son after Phish songs. Not a fantasy book series. Way cooler. Cheers!
So happy for all of you!

Meaning & History
Used by author C. S. Lewis for a character in his ‘Chronicles of Narnia’ series, first appearing in 1950. Prince Caspian first appears in the fourth book, where he is the rightful king of Narnia driven into exile by his evil uncle Miraz. Lewis probably based the name on the Caspian Sea, which was named for the city of Qazvin, which was itself named for the ancient Cas tribe.
Caspian will be welcomed by one big political family in Colorado! Perhaps that’s why he already looks so confident in his baby pic! 🙂
