Adele's baby - still no name announcement!

I'm slightly irritated by the fact that Adele still hasn't announced the name of her baby boy. She wants privacy, I get that, but even us normal non-celeb folk announce our babies' names in the newspaper. AIBU?

Just looked at DM site Blush, poor Adele looks petrified shielding her little boy.

And they're still harping on about him having no name, I'm sure even with all her money she can't get into America without a passport and visa. Her baby's father isn't American is he?

It says she hasn't made an appointment with the registrar, even in our local hospital I think you can do it there now. I'm sure she would have been able to wherever she gave birth. She's just not telling, and has a good team/friends that don't blab.

Maybe she doesn't want us all copying her Hmm

I know a 29yr old Phaedra she pronounces is Fed-ra. It is from greek mythology and is a girls name.

mybootsaremuddy · 11/01/2013 22:56

It can also be pronounced with a long E so Feed-ra

I can excuse Irish names for not at all sounding like they are spelt, but otherwise a name that the poor child would be explaining for the rest of their lives should not be inflicted.

If when born they just said
Baby boy named bob
Or baby girl name sue
Wouldn't people stop hassling them wanting to know

I have bets on Adele's baby being names James or Daniel, something after James Bond after her success with Skyfall. But would love to know soon.

I feel dreadful for Lily Allen's children, Ethel & Marnie. Not a massive fan of so called "vintage names" i'm afraid.

Royal names will be massive this year, especially with Kate being pregnant.

I love Fearne Cotton, she's an absolute star so can't wait to hear the name of her littlun. I wreckon it'll be rather girly for her.

Willabywallaby · 12/01/2013 18:35

She's been in the DM online today shopping for bouncy chairs and baby gyms...

I think Daniel, or something very normal.

Willabywallaby · 14/01/2013 10:57

Yay! She got the Golden Globe!!! She'll tell us the name when she's good and ready I reckon.

starjules · 23/01/2013 13:08

It could be called Angelo, she is pictured in the daily mail today with an Angelo necklace on.

Willabywallaby · 23/01/2013 19:22

Are you sure it doesn't say Adele?

FranglaisMaman · 23/01/2013 19:41

Ooh liking Marnie Rose, very Alfred Hitchcock. Isn't her first child called Maud?Not keen on that though Hmm

Don't understand why Adele is being so secretive. Surely she'd get the press off her back quicker if she just announced the name and had done with it? Rather than keeping everyone hanging on waiting to find out.

FranglaisMaman · 23/01/2013 19:44

Sorry, first child is Ethel. What on earth made me think it was Maud Blush

lollydollydrop · 24/01/2013 00:15

The baby's name is Angelo

AliceCrowley · 24/01/2013 00:27

Who is Adele and why should anyone be remotely interested in the name of her baby.

Has she given birth to the Messiah or something?

DessieLou · 24/01/2013 03:25

He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!
Sorry.
Is the baby actually called Angelo? I can imagine she'd go for a name like that. I rather like it. :-)

twinklestar2 · 24/01/2013 12:26

He's called Angelo James

blindworm · 24/01/2013 14:36

Has been revealed, Angelo James Konecki.

Willabywallaby · 24/01/2013 17:16

I approve.

Willabywallaby · 24/01/2013 17:17

I have a friend called Angelo.

Narked · 24/01/2013 17:59

Lovely name. Not that she'll give a shit what we think!

out2lunch · 24/01/2013 23:12

I like it unusual but sweet

starjules · 25/01/2013 19:38

I like it too, its just that whenever I hear it in my head I can hear Mick Jagger going "Angie ooo Angie"

Bue · 25/01/2013 21:27

Not what I was expecting, but I don't mind it. Reminds me of Martha Wainwright's son - Arcangelo. Now that is pretty out there.

FellatioNels0n · 25/01/2013 21:37

I think what she is doing is a stroke of anti-establishment genius. All power to her elbow.

When she runs out of time to register the baby I think she should just name him (officially) John (while calling him Django or Otis or whatever) and then keep us all guessing until someone who knows her can no longer keep their gob shut.
