Actor David Arquette names his son after late sister Alexis Arquette

Actor David Arquette named his four-month-old son in memory of his late sister, the actress Alexis Arquette.

The baby, who was born six months after Alexis passed away in September 2016, is named ­Augustus Alexis Arquette. David told a leading entertainment magazine that he and wife Christina named him in his late aunt’s honour.

“My family is happy to have (Alexis’) legacy live on … We’re keeping her spirit alive,” he said.

“It hurts to talk about her sometimes because I miss her. But this is bigger than both of us, and I still think she is around. I sense her sometimes.
