Jennifer Pellegrini: After a Wild Week of News, Two Stories You Might…
Bluebell. Madonna. Halliwell.
Filed under: Your Pregnancy, Celeb Kids, Life & Style
Last week I mentioned that Spice Girl Geri Halliwell had given birth to her first child, a daughter. Well, the name of her little girl has now been published:Bluebell Madonna Halliwell.
By way of explanation, Geri says that she was inspired by seeing the spring flowers during her pregnancy. "But what really clinched it for me was my mother telling me that the bluebell is increasingly rare - so it's a precious flower, which seems just right for my daughter," she said.
Bluebell Madonna Halliwell.
Bluebell Halliwell.
With all due respect, that poor little girl's gonna get her butt whupped at school.

thordora said...I;ve been trying to think happy thoughts as well. I think it's the madonna that's getting me. Although the motivation behind the names is nice.
But yeah. Teach the child some Akido.

karrie said...Maybe the little girl will go by Belle? I'm usually ok with unique names but this combination sounds harsh and odd to me. Not to mention that her first and last names rhyme. That's kind of icky in and of itself, and will no doubt result in taunting songs on the playground:
Bluebell Halliwell, yes its true that you smell, go away, go to hell. I'll steal your lunch, if you tell.

Hollie said...I don't think of the flower at all. Only the ice cream comes to mind. That name sent chills down my spine. Bluebell (as in ice cream) Madonna (as in sleezy), and a last name that rhymes with the first name. It doesn’t get much worse than that.
I'm like Karrie, I hope they call the poor child Belle or something.

sha said...*sigh* Bluebell is a good name, as Lily, Rose AND *Apple* I don't understand the desire for everyone to be named the same. how many Karen is there? how many Paul is there? if the girl get 'butt whupped' in school then it shouldn't be her fault or her name's fault, it's like blaming bullied victim for appearing weak and becoming a target.

MamaChristy said...I'm all for unusual names for kids. Unusual but not weird. Bluebell isn't the worst name I have ever heard, but you sure aren't giving your child an easy time on the playground. Kids can be cruel. Perhaps it is easier if you are rich?

Michelle said...I don't think she'll have much to worry about with all the Kyleighs, Neveahs, Kaitlynnnnnsss, and such. Unusual names and unusual spellings are more the norm now. Now, if a girl were to be named Bertha, Helga or Matilda she might have a problem.

malibustacey said...That's typical Geri! In all of the 'at home' interviews she's been doing in OK, Hello etc she's said she was going to call the baby Stella if it was a girl. As if she ever had any intention of choosing such a normal name! Mind you, Bluebell is the fifth Spice baby, after Phoenix Chi, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz so what did we really expect with that kind of competition?
