It’s an exciting time for Hollyoaks star Nadine Mulkerrin who has given birth to her second child. The soap star, who’s known for playing Cleo McQueen, took to Instagram to announce the happy news that she’d welcomed a baby boy with partner Rory Douglas-Speed. In the heartwarming announcement, 28 year old Nadine revealed that she’d named the little one Dougie James Speed.
But what exactly does the adorable name mean? Let’s take a look… What does Dougie mean? According to the baby name website Bounty, the sweet moniker has a Gaelic origin as is a common name in Scotland, England and America.

Given that the little one's father Rory is Scottish, it’s no surprise that the pair have chosen a name that hints at his family history.
Explaining the meaning of the name, the website states that it is “derived from the Gaelic words dubh 'dark colour' and glas 'water' thus meaning 'dark stream' and a variant of Douglas.” However, besides the Scottish links of the name, Dougie is likely to also be a sweet nod to Rory whose surname is Douglas-Scott. As Douglas is often shortened down to Doug or Dougie, the moniker is rather fitting for the little one. As stated by the UK Baby Names website, 147 births using the name were recorded last year.
Dougie Poynter from McFly is a famous face with the name. What does James mean? James has long been a popular name in the UK, though recent years have seen a decline in its use. According to Verywell, the moniker comes from the Hebrew word for Jacob and means “supplanter” or substitute.

If one actor plays multiple roles in a film, that film is usually a comedy, as the technique is often viewed as an excuse for someone to show off their “wacky” versatility. That technique, however, and the presumption of how it’s applied is radically turned on its head in writer/director Alex Garland’s new surreal and discomfiting horror film, “Men,” from A24.
Wilson Chapman editorSpoiler alert: Do not read if you haven’t watched “Men,” now in theaters.In the new A24 horror film “Men,” Rory Kinnear plays the title character — or more accurately, characters. Kinnear portrays a parade of male characters that populate a secluded English village — from a mild-mannered country house owner to a rude teenage boy to a predatory vicar to “the Green Man,” a figure of pagan mythology brought to life.As Jessie Buckley’s Harper, holidaying in the country after the traumatic death of her abusive husband James (Paapa Essiedu), encounters these figures, the interactions escalate to become more and more dangerous, until she finds herself trapped in her house fighting for her life.
