So what’s the inspiration behind the name? It’s reported friends of the couple believe “Raddix” is a combination of “rad” (one of their favorite words) and a translation of “new beginning.” Something the retired actress and Good Charlotte frontman have been wanting for some time. Since their wedding in 2015, the duo spent years trying to conceive before welcoming their daughter on December 30. The musician’s brother, Joel Madden, and wife Nicole Richie are reported to be happy for the couple, who are in such a “wonderful place.”
