Woburn Parents Give Child 'Star Wars'-Themed Name

Star Wars mania continues in Woburn where a couple has given their newborn child a trilogy-inspired nickname. Jim and Denise Gracie have named their newborn son Ryker Jedi Gracie who was born on the same day that Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released, reported NECN.

Jim Gracie says he’s been a fan of the “Star Wars” franchise for as long as he can remember. They plan to see the new film in the coming weeks.

Ryker was delivered at Winchester Hospital.

Instead of “congratulating” the couple, hospital staff has been saying “May the force be with you.”
