First, all fine with the names.

Before we continue, have you read their statement?

"Ella, Alexander and Amal are all healthy, happy and doing fine. George is sedated and should recover in a few days."

Got the joke?

Finally, some took an issue with how some media outlets reported the news - like a tweet by the Associated Press news agency which described Amal as "wife of George Clooney".
