Tamron Hallis very happy with the name she ultimately chose for her son.
On a new episode of PEOPLE’s new podcastMe Becoming Mom, the author and television host, 51, explains how she and husband Steven Greener came to name their now 2-year-old sonMosesand shares one of the other monikers they previously considered.
Asked if she had her son’s name picked out early in the pregnancy, Hall says, “I had. And I did send my husband back home to retrieve a custom hat that I had made from the hat shop where I get all of my hats. It had his name, Moses.”
“I knew that’s how I was going to introduce his name to the people who have been so supportive and follow me on social media and follow my career and have rooted for me and the show and my pregnancy and all these things,” she recalls. “I thought, oh, I gotta give them a little Tamron Hall.”
“I’m happy I did not name my son Bob,” she says, though she says she “still loves” the name. “But he is Moses, he’s definitely Moses.”

The doctor said it was a boy and Hall says she “started crying.”
She explains to Ruderman, “I started crying because I saw all of my fashion future float [away]. That sounds so vain, but it’s true. And my husband said, ‘I will one day tell Moses that you did that.’ I’m like, ‘No, it’s just tears! I visualize myself walking around with a little girl dressed exactly like me!’ "
“Which is so funny now that I have a son,” Hall adds, “and I don’t like to get into gender labels — but it’s funny now that I have a son, I could not imagine anything other than what I have.”
