Brooklyn
Britain’s lovely couple footballer David Beckham and his wife Victoria Beckham named their firstborn child a son as Brooklyn and he was born in March 1999.
The origin of the name for them was that Victoria liked the name Brooke for a daughter and since a son was born, they named him Brooklyn. They also were in New York when Victoria came to know that she was pregnant.
Victoria wrote in her autobiography:
“It was when we were in Marbella that we came up with the name Brooklyn. We already knew he was a boy and so I knew he could end up a footballer, so it had to be a name that was a bit blokey. I had always liked the name Brooke and then we suddenly thought about Brooklyn,”
She added:
“I’d always like it as a place – it’s very multi-cultural, very grounded. And it was only afterwards that I realized how appropriate it was because it was in New York that I found out I was pregnant and where David came after the World Cup.”
Paris
Paris Hilton is the name of the daughter of the former child actress Kathy Hilton and her wealthy businessman husband Richard Hilton the child was born in February 1981.
Bronx
The singers Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz named their son in November 2008 and named him ‘The Bronx’. Pete told Ryan Seacrest on his KISS FM radio show:
“We’d been throwing [Bronx] back and forth a while ago. I feel weird because all these people have all these ideas on what it means … It’s kind of cool to leave the narrative what it is … I don’t think anybody knows what the real story is of why or how.”
