Paul Walker‘s brother Cody has named his newborn son after his late sibling – as the 10th anniversary of the actor’s tragic death approaches.

The 34-year-old actor confirmed the news to People. on Friday, when it was revealed that Paul Barrett Walker, also known as ‘Bear’ by his family, was born on April 30 in Arizona.

The television personality, whose niece made an appearance in the Fast & Furious series’ newest entry, and his wife, Felicia, did not find out until the sex of their baby until he was born.

Cody and his spouse, who tied the knot in 2015, considered different names until they settled on Paul Barrett a day after they welcomed him into their family.

The happy couple also share a daughter named Remi, aged five, as well as a son named Colt, aged two.

‘My brother, Caleb, and I are both done having children. My brother, Paul, was Paul William Walker IV and that name goes back four generations,’ he stated.

The television personality also discussed how his loved ones often used terms of affection to refer to his late brother.

‘Within the family, he went by ‘little Paul’ or ‘Paul 4,’ even though he quickly outgrew our father in height. It was important to me to have that name carry on,’ he said.

Cody subsequently spoke about his motorsports festival, FuelFest, on which he collaborates with Fast & Furious mainstay Tyrese Gibson.
