Welcome to the new arrival in the Beckham family. A boy named Cruze.
Poor kid.
Post by: on February 20, 2005, 09:20:37 pm
Sky Sports had it as Cruz.
So that'll be Cruz as the u in dud then?
Post by: roxy on February 20, 2005, 09:45:15 pm
Spanish for "cross", apparently.
Did you place any bets?

I didn't notice many people choosing Romeo. Mind you, Bob Geldof's kids have worse names: Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches, Pixie and Heavenly Tiger Lilly. Now that's cruel.
My great-grandmother was called Kerrenhappuch. It's a biblical name. I'm so gald it didn't become a family tradition!!

I think peaches is quite nice.
If you take a look here, Romeo took a huge jump in popularity :)

In Spain, isn't Cruz a girls name?

Or definitely a girls' name, and pronounced something like 'Cruth' - just makes you sound like you have a bad lisp!
I had a selection of ancestors (female) named Philadelphia but I didn't think I'd revive the tradition.

Mixture of Scandanavian and Hebrew.
If I remember correctly, it means something like leader. Don't quote me on that. I said something like.........

Ah, Kilkullen? (I've been Googling!_</P>
<P>I thought it was a Sci-Fi series (knowing you're a fan) but maybe it's a computer game? Anyway it pops up when you do a search on :). Whatever, I like names that are a little different and that's a good one.<IMG src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0"></P>

Or Penelope Cruz, Ulises de la Cruz etc...
Drifting a bit, has anyone else heard the rumours the whole pregnancy was a fake and the baby is actually adopted?
Post by: chocolate chick on February 22, 2005, 11:52:53 am
No I haven't heard those rumours. I don't think they are true.

I haven't worn a poncho since 1971.
Victoria Beckham is far too thin. She has ruined her looks, making the angles of her face sharp, giving her a hard look.
However, women in the public eye can't win. If they're too fat (Vanessa) they get called an old porker, if they're too thin, thy're wrong again. Society is ver unforgiving.
Post by: chocolate chick on February 23, 2005, 09:16:59 am
I totally agree. You really can't win. Take Girls Aloud for example. When they first came out they were called fat and their manager told them to lose weight! Wish I was that fat!
I think Fern Britton is a great example of a woman.

Clothes shopping can be a bit tiresome for curvy women. I am curvy and the fashions are made for 'straight' women. e.g no hips!

If I have a baby ( immaculate conception and miracle heaven) its being called Amber Dora.

I think people believe if they have their kids christened and they die they will go to heaven for definite. Or something like that. Some people just do it for a party.
Post by: Cherry_Ripe on March 01, 2005, 10:25:58 am
Now you can have a civil baby naming ceremony. It doesn't have to be religious like a Christening.
My middle name is Louise but it's a very common middle name. When I was at school there was a whole gang of us 'Lou's. My best friend's middle name was Bell (which was her grandmother's maiden name) which she found highly embarrassing but I thought was quite neat because it was original.

I don't have a middle name but my husband has two. When our children were born they were given two middle names also.
It's funny how your taste for names changes. When I was pregnant with my son, I loved the name Fabian. Now I think it sounds really gay. Lucky, I didn't name him that but Douglas, after my dad. He likes it because it's a name you can grow up with. Everyone calls him Doug.
My daughter is called Ruth. Again, it's a name you can grow up with. Tracy, Debbie, Kylie and such like just don't suit old ladies!
Post by: salsa on March 01, 2005, 06:26:12 pm
I have a best buddy Doug, and I love the name. But if you call him Douglas he would smack you in the chops.
Also, my other best mate is called Ruth, or Roof as she prefers ;)
