"My friends and family told me I needed to set the record straight," said Tagalu of Sammisano, who isn't the first large baby in his family either.
Though his sister was a typical 8 pounds and 9 ounces, his brothers were 12 pounds, 4 ounces and 11 pounds, 1 ounce. Sammisano even arrived early.
"The doctor said he might have weighed 18 pounds if he had arrived on the due date," Tagulu said of the baby, who weighs 25 pounts at five months.
While the title of biggest baby is hard to prove - birth weights are not tracked by state officials and medical records are protected by privacy laws - Tagalu is psyched.
"He truly is amazing," she said. "Just amazing."
And probably quite a handful. Just a hunch.
As for his name, we're kinda digging Sammisano! As for some of the celebrity baby names compiled in the ridiculous gallery below ... not so much:
North West. The spawn of Kimye being named after a direction may be the dumbest thing in human history. At the same time, if she doesn't grow up to have a signature fragrance called North by North West, this is not a planet we wanna be living on.

Destiny "Miley" Cyrus
Yes, Miley's real name is Destiny ... which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but Billy Ray and Tish probably guaranteed she'd become a stripper someday with that moniker.
3.
Apple Martin
Ironically, Apple is both the name of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin's daughter and likely the name of a food item forbidden in some rich crazy-person diet she probably follows.

Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale
We got nothing.
5.
Kal-El Cage
Nicolas Cage named one of his kids Kal-El, a fact not related to him being wasted out of his mind in this mug shot ... although that could explain a lot of things.
6.
Bear (Kate Winslet and Alicia Silverstone)
Not only did she torture us with The Reader, Kate Winslet is making her newborn's life terrible with Bear as his name. Alicia Silverstone chose this name too. And she chews up Bear's food for him, which is also interesting.
7.
Blanket Jackson
Blanket Jackson is not actually the name of the youngest child of Michael Jackson. It's Prince Michael Jackson II ... not to be confused with Prince Michael Jackson I (also pictured). As for his nickname, he was wearing a Blanket while MJ dangled him over a balcony. Good times.
8.
Jermajesty Jackson
Jermajesty. Michael's brother Jermaine outdid him with that one.
9.
Suri Cruise
Suri Cruise, the child of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, is a bona fide cutie. Who will have to spell and explain her name approximately 10 times per day as an adult.
10.
Tu Morrow
Actor Rob Morrow named his daughter Tu. GET IT? That's either a great play on words or the dumbest thing ever. Maybe a little of both.
11.
Moxie Crimefighter
Moxie Crimefighter is the daughter of Penn Jillette. That is all.
12.
Pilot Inspektor
Pilot Inspektor is the son of Jason Lee. That spelling you are reading here is accurate.
13.
Princess Tiaamii
Princess Tiaamii is the daughter of busty British babe and reality star Katie Price. We feel bad.
14.
Denim
Toni Braxton named her kid Denim. Apparently "Polyester," "Suede," and "Cotton" were taken.
15.
Kyd
Yes, Kyd. David Duchovny mailed that one in worse than his alleged acting on Californication.
16.
Bronx Mowgli
Bronix Mowgli, the son of Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz, is named after a borough of New York City AND a Jungle Book protagonist.
17.
Maxwell Drew Johnson
Jessica Simpson named her little daughter Maxwell. Perhaps she is trying to overcompensate for giving her an old man's name by putting her in this bikini.
