Nakoa-Wolf Momoa: Lisa Bonet’s New Son!
Life on Mars actress Lisa Bonet and Stargate Atlantis star Jason Momoa welcomed their first son together late last month and named him Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa.
What a mouthful!
The baby announcement was made by Jason’s mother on the forum of his official website.
“Mom doing great,” she wrote. “Both parents are elated. He was born on the stormiest, rainy night,
so Nakoa (warrior), Mana (strength/spirit), Kaua (rain) and po (dark). The name was always going to be Nakoa-Wolf, but Jason did the research on [the] first middle name. [The] second middle name (Namakaeha) as you know is Jason’s.”
The couple also has a daughter, Lola, now 17 months. Lisa also has a 20-year-old daughter with rocker Lenny Kravitz, Zoe.

Seriously there’s like a zillion syllables in that name!!
Can their parents even remember how to spell their child’s entire name?
wow! Is he part native American? Judging by his middle name (and now the baby’s) it seems so. Good for them for keeping with traditions…
Nakoa Momoa? Good luck in school kid!
@#2 Jason is part Hawaiian thus the name. But it’s possible to go too far even with cultural names. Why two long ass middle names?
What a cutie pie.
What a beautifuuulll family!!
Congradulations:))))
I honestly don’t see anything weird with this kid’s name it’s Samoan/Hawaiian & native American with the (wolf part). The dude is embracing his heritage with that name.
Pilot Inspektor, Pirate, Moxie Crimefighter and Bronx are truly inexplicable things to name a child. half of them aren’t names but job titles and verbs.
their daughter is absolutely gorgeous… idk why she didn’t get the prettiest baby in hollywood title.
LOVE THEM!!! Almost as much as I love Alyson and Alexis. Great name for the baby. How cute is that little girl? I bet the boy is just as cute. :D
Damn Lisa’s man is hot.
Does that baby wear the same clothes every day? This whole family looks like they smell like mildew.
Stunning child! I guess the name is Hawaian or Native American so I like it.
Jason is part Hawaian and part White so this name makes sense. The daughter Lola is stunning. And Lisa is beautiful. So is Zoe. Nice family….
As someone who’s half Metis I love that they went with tradition. It makes me sad how white washed North America is and that ethnic names are made fun of… Pilot Inspector… weird… Apple…odd… But I love this name. It has a strong background and is rooted in this child’s heritage.
I don’t think people should have to name their kids Emma or Bryce to fit in. I think as a society we should be teaching our kids to appreciate other cultures so that bullying about different ethnicity’s no longer occur.
I should also add their daughter is stunning… Absolutely beautiful.
what a name!
ITA, Jessalyn. With both of your posts.
wow! what a beautiful name! I really love it when parents take the time to do research to get their kids names that mean something and not just name them with something that sounds partly original and partly weird
also I wanted to ask, does anyone know where and when these pictures were taken ?
They were taken around October.
It is a tough name phonetically but great meaning.. I bet he will go by Wolf though.
Beautiful display of culture
That child is adorable btw
Now theres a normal hollywood name! Haha. Its not like they’re trying to be different on purpose. They’re embracing his cultural heritage and not some disney movie, fruit, employment position, cartoon. I love it!
Love Jason love Lisa they have a very beautiful family. I am sure the newest member is beautiful as well.
There is nothing wrong with this name or the other “hollywood kids” names. If you don’t like the names… don’t name your kids that. People are always trying to control what other people do.
The kids shirt is cool!
So would you all laugh if you met a Native American kid whose name is : Eagle Eye, or Feather Foot? Those names come from a culture that is the first to populate America. And the Hawaiian culture is one that has very strong roots so why should they not name their kids that? I think it is a great name.
He is hot. Nice. Lola is so cute. aww….
WHY THIS WHITE PIECE a ****?
Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa … let’s see:
Yep, Hawaiian. The energy of a child called “The Wolf-Warriors of the forceful war in the night with hurtful eyes” … oh lala. Good luck, little man.
Na koa means “the warriors” (plural! “na”; “ka” would be singular), Manakauapo can also mean “Forceful War At Night”, if “kaua” meant rain, the word would have to be “Manauapo” (because “ua” means “rain”, “ka” is “the”; Or, if they want all the “the”s: “Kamanaikauaokapo”; “po” rarely means “dark” as an adjective! It means “invisible realm” and “night”; and Namakaeha means “The hurtful eyes”. Momoa can mean “to supply with food”, “to care for, protect, cherish” and anything that has to do with chicken or a part of a canoe stern; it’s a form of Moamoa. Also a type of fish.
There you go. You are welcome.
How nice of them to celebrate their heritage this way.
If you take “Lola” also as a Hawaiian word, you’d get to meanings like a type of fish or plant, or “drooping, hanging downward; droopy, sluggish, lazy, idle” … I think only people very well versed in ancient languages should use them for names. Why? Because of all the spiritual connotations and actual meanings!
Bubba, for short.
I always loved Jason, he’s hooooooooot
but Liza .. I don’t like her
well they’re happy together
That’s like the wierdest name ever.. that is like “words” you came up with when you were like 6. How do you even pronounce that name?
To Jodi; if you want to break names and give all the surrounding meanings I can give funny meanings to almost all the common (supossedly normal) American names using the several Indian languages I speak.
For starters; Jodi means ‘couple’ in Hindhi. But the vulgar use in some other parts for jodi means ‘to have sex.’ There you go.
It’s gunna take that baby a heck of a long time to learn how to spell his name!!
Jason is so hot!! The kid is really cute, but the name? Poor thing lol
Jason’s a cheating ass and perfect for Hollywood consider he was engaged and with another woman for so many years, whereupon flash to 6 months later his current girlfriend gives birth to their child.
Lovely family indeed.
I’ve seen longer Hawaiian names both in number of names and length (try Wehekealake’alekupuna). I suppose if you’re not familiar in pronouncing the Hawaiian language, names like these seem daunting. But it’s a syllabic language so it’s actually not that hard to learn the vowel sounds. I really wish people visiting the islands would put a little effort into learning how to pronounce things.
He is way too young and hot to be with her!! Congrats on the beautiful babies but by the time Jason hits 40’s shes gonna need a walker!!
Jess @ 01/09/2009 at 12:05 pm It’s gunna take that baby a heck of a long time to learn how to spell his name!!
And then when he realize his sister’s name is Lola…
dont know if i’d pick one that difficult but i wish i had a heritage i could pass down in such a way. i love my kids names but they dont tell a story or honour anything
Come on pple Think about ur kids before naming them! what on heart ???
