Are you Spanish? If not, I'd leave well alone, there'll always been that celeb/Beckham connection!

I just thought "are you Spanish?" The Beckhams didn't occur to me until I read other reactions, but I am not much of a sleb follower.

If you're Spanish, then it's a girl's name - it's one of the appellations of Mary.

I would think you are VB, or had copied her. Unless you were Spanish.

BelleEnd · 03/06/2011 21:55

My cousin has called her youngest son this. (And there is someone on here who knows her!) I find it quite odd, as they are Muslim, that they would give their child such a "Christian" name.

Their other child's name is whacky unusual as well.

I'd immediately think of the Beckhams.

The longer version is Cruzito - maybe slightly less 'Beckhamy'?

deo357 · 05/06/2011 18:22

But I have just emptied a potty!
