This baby naming business...

They really have gone too far this time I think. Brooklyn was a silly choice, based on where they found out she was pregnant. Romeo, another daft name. Now they're just using whatever words Beckham hears being shouted at him in training! He probably doesn't know what they mean, just likes the sound of them and has somehow managed to work out how to spell them.

Presumably there'll be more sprogs from the Chav King and Queen, and I'm guessing they'll have names taken from the Spanish words for the following: "Pass" "Tackle" "Shoot" "Dive" "Lob" and "Stay Onside!!!!"

I'm also guessing that young Cruz Beckham has three middle names, the spanish words for "It" "You" and "Muppet".

 

i really dont get why people get so worked up over this sort of thing, its there child they can name it nearly anything they like. my friends children have unique names & i would never dream of saying that there names are stupid (saxon-leigh, memphis 7 sonny), i'd like unique names for my children too, i'm 1/2 polish & would like a traditional polish names for my child. tho people in this country would think it sounds rediculas, i really dont care what other people think & the beckhams dont care whjat other people think, i say good luck to little cruz.

 

Well traditional names from a foreign culture are all fine. For one thing, they're not unique, they're just unusual outside their place of origin. Unique names on the other hand are ridiculous, names concocted by chavs and rednecks, hybrid names of two family members, or names of posh cars, or whichever celebrity is popular among chav cultures during the gestation period.

For example if you want a variant on a common name to be different, much better to go with an established foreign version than to make one up with slightly altered spelling and/or pronunciation just for the SAKE of being different!

Jazus, who'd want a child called Chardonnay Mercedes, it may sound posh in Basildon but as soon as you get outside there it'd be nothing but ridicule.

I suppose you all heard about the one called Jesus Kevin Costner (or was it Kevin Costner Jesus?) somewhere in South America.

And as for why it's important. Well it maybe their child. But it won't be their child for ever. He'll be his own person and he's not going to be happy. If I were a 6 year old at school with him I wouldn't be able to keep a straight face. It won't be pleasant! Poor little sod. It's bad enough having parents like that!

I think it's also worth pointing out that you did completely miss the point of my message. ('tis football related and you are lady after all)

 

well, its their choice what they call their kids, but in the end it really doesnt matter coz they're going to be as well known as their parents so whether they have a normal, traditional name or some stupid crazy name it really isnt going to make any difference.

 

It's not just their choice what to do with their children. It's also their responsibility to be sensible about it! That was part of my point.

But you've all missed the humour and piss-take element of my post.

It was a simple pun on Cross - I don't know why I bother!

 

i would just like too point out that CRUZ IS A SPANISH GIRLS NAME, thank you

 

let me reiterate THEY GAVE THERE SON A GIRLS NAME

 

I didn't realise it was used as a first name at all. Thought it was just a surname.

Mind you yanks have been getting mixed up between boys and girls names for ages. Just look at all the Courtneys there are in America, and Hillaries as well. And most of them are GIRLS!!!!!

 

what's the deal man?
people have strange names. i know people who, even on their birth certificate, have great hippy names like "moonbeam". they're not necessarily the ones that you would expect of hippies, mind, but they are just as outrageous.

 

What's the problem?

Well it's pretentious and cruel. It just makes it that much harder for the child to be taken seriously.

But really when I posted my message i meant it as a joke, it's a simple pun, which I believe works as well in spanish as it does in english. Correct me if I'm wrong but the verb to cross in Spanish is I think "Crúzar" and I think the 2nd Sing. imperative is "cruz" so the word cross could be used in footballing terms in the same way as english.

If I have to explain it any further I might just do a Hunter S. Thompson!

 

i get it now! i do agree that the beckhams give their children quite ridiculous names, but famous people like them with loads of money always go for odd names.

 

Hooray! Let's all have tea and scones

 

i love scones! hurrah!

 

Tell me. This is a simple question.

Do you think the idea of scones in gravy for breakfast is revolting?

Just say yes.

 

SAX! If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times! BISCUITS AND GRAVY DOES NOT EQUAL SCONES AND GRAVY!!!!!!

They are completely different!

 

I Adore scones.. Mmmm.. GRAVY eeeeek.. hum. . how.. how howhowhowhow VILE VOMIT inducing

IS there something called.. cobbler.. thats like .. casserole with scones on top. Hm

Anyone know?

 

bloody hell its like calling a boy lucy in an english speaking country, its tantamount to child abuse

 

Well there's always Lucius or Lucian or Luke. Or why not go the whole hog and give him a twangy double barrelled name with Lucy in it and call him Lucy-Fur.

Or call him Luton Town FC, that'll get REAL ridicule. Or perhaps not this season, to everyone's shock and surprise (looks like I'll be going back to Kenilworth Road next season, it's really not a pleasant ground and the police search 80year-old ladies upon entry).

 

yeah, something like that. i think someone made me one somewhen. or mum just said thats what its called when we ate stupid amounts of scones/biscuits in america

 

Hey random spontaneosity,
I remember you, I've been out of it for a while due to hurricane Ivan.
I noticed this site because my wife and I now have to come up with TWO names as we are expecting twins. We won't know the sexes till next month sometime so we are considering for both sexes.
We have a 4 yr old daughter, Delaney, and we think we did her right by that name.
Any suggestions? Though my wife is part Italian, and I'm your generic american northern euro/brit/irish mutt, I prefer British/Irish sounding names.
