[ucdcows]

Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale was born at 12:46 p.m. and weighed 8 1/2 lbs.

That is a super weird name but I bet that baby is just as gorgeous as the last one! Yay for them!

 

[Kaleigh]

That is a strange name. Wishing her and her baby all the best!!!!

HI:

Boy? Girl?

cheers--Sharon

 

[Kaleigh]

Hi Sharon,
I haven''t read the latest but they said she was having another boy....

 

[MonkeyPie]

It''s a boy

 

[iheartscience]

It''s a boy...and that name is quite...unique. But I must say, ending his first name with an "a" does make it sound kind of feminine.

"zuma? what the heck is a zuma?" i think to myself as i hit apple+n and google "zuma"... apparently it''s a "fast-paced puzzle game." (wikipedia)

weird. maybe i''ll name my first-born Scrabble.

It''s also the name of a very popular beach in Malibu.

 

[diamondfan]

I would totally assume it is a girl with that name. Very odd.

Zuma is in Malibu but I would not name my child that.

 

[snlee]

I wish Gwen and baby the best! Congrats to them!

What a weird name!

 

[Cleo]

I kind of like the first name.

It's Aztec apparently, meaning 'Lord Frowns in Anger'... which I don't like so much.

x x x

*ETA* a short form of 'Montezuma'

Its not as bad as the actress (I forget her name) who called her son Audio Science, not to mention a tacky celebrity over here called Jordan who called her daughter Princess Tiiami!

 

[beau13]

Okay..why do celebrities do that to their poor child!
Do they not know how mean kids can be in grade school?
Giving a child a very different name, might lead to a lifetime of misery for the poor child.
ZUMA? (especially for a boy..Sheesh)
Sounds like a ride at an amusement park!

Zuma is quite unique, but I think celebrity kids get sort of a "free pass" for that kinda thing. It''s become expected that celebrities name their kids something unique; after all, no one would be talking about little baby John. I love Gwen & Gavin as a couple

& wish them all the best!

 

[VegasAngel]

Congrats! I'm sure he'll be just as cute as Kingston.

The name

News achors here were having a field day with it I can tell you that. One said something to the effect of there should be law that the drugs must be out of your system before being allowed to name your kid. Another said the name makes her think of Lunesta.

 

[OUpearlgirl]

Perez Hilton said that Nesta is Bob Marley''s middle name and Kingston is the name of the town he was born in or something.

 

[Tuckins1]

Ummmm.... ok. Weird name, but congrats to them both!!!

 

[Skippy123]

I love Gwen Stefani, but I don't like that name for their child. I don't understand why people give their kids really weird names like that, I do like unusual names but not the over the top ones like Apple.

 

[Anna0499]

Apparently, Baby Zuma is named after Zuma Beach in Malibu. Doesn''t seem so weird now, does it?

Congrats to Gwen and Gavin!

Even though Zuma is the name of a beach in Malibu, I think it is a really odd name for a person. "Zuma Nesta Rock" is a pretty awful combination, IMO. I honestly liked "Apple" a lot more as a name. At least it''s not as bad as "Pilot Inspektor" and "Moxie Crimefighter," the children of Jason Lee. Those would be hard to beat.

A friend and I have had a standing bet that a celebrity will name their child "Cyborg" (he says they will, I say they won''t). Despite having placed a bet to the contrary, I would not be surprised if it happened in the near future.
