Gov. Mark Sanford's sister, Sarah, and her husband, Beaufort Mayor Bill Rauch, had a son, William Sanford Rauch on June 18.
The family has dubbed the 8-pound baby "Sandy."
"Of course I'm a little attached to Sanford," Sarah said. "We didn't want a Will and a Bill in the house - that can be confusing. So we opted for Sandy."
The baby is Sarah's first child and Bill's fifth. He has two boys and two girls between 10 and 18.
Sarah and the governor are the children of Beaufort resident Peg Peyton. She also is the mother to Bill and John Sanford. John's wife, Julia, is expecting their first child next month, also a boy.
With the addition of Sandy, Peyton has 11 grandsons and one granddaughter.
