Have we snarked yet on Gwen Stefani's baby name? Zuma? WTF?

[Connonym]

Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale WTF? isn't Zuma an exercise class based on latin dancing? or am I thinking of that icky malt beverage that girls used to drink back in the 90s? ZUMA?

[MissMillie]

1. that's child abuse

jeez....

[Tommy_Carcetti]

2. It's Gwen Stefani.

Who the last time I had any respect for was probably No Doubt's debut album. So res ipsa loquitor.

And the beverage was Zima.

[southpaw]

3. I would have credited Gavin Rossdale with more intelligence...

But then, his band was called Bush...

[JVS]

4. She's lucky not to have ended up named Just A. Girl after her mom's song

[Connonym]

5. LOL! good point n/t

[Phentex]

6. Justa Gerl would have been cute!

:P

[southpaw]

8. Or Harajuku

[Pool Hall Ace]

11. Little Zuma is a boy.

But I think Just A. Girl would have been an improvement! :)

[Phentex]

7. We're gonna Zuma Zuma Zooooooom...

come on and zooma zooma zooma zoooooooom!

[PeaceNikki]

9. Those things are way better than iPods, IMHO.

[MsTryska]

10. Well where does Zuma come from?

I'm guessing Nesta is in honor of Bob Marley - origins would explain a lot.

maybe Zuma Beach? That prolly makes a lot of sense. The whole name doesn't have a lot of flow to it, but I won't hate on Zuma. I know lots of people named after places.

[Connonym]

14. Oh I can't hate on a baby, it's not his fault he has a silly name

and Nesta is, indeed, a tribute to Bob Marley (it's his middle name for those who are unaware).

[Rob H.]

12. He's named after a scooter?

Yeah, he's not gonna get mocked for that at all. :sarcasm:

[grace0418]

13. I went to school with a girl named Zuma. She was

a very nice girl.

[EstimatedProphet]

15. Zima was taken

[GreenPartyVoter]

16. Better than Zima, though, right?

[applegrove]

17. Zuma is a South African family name.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

18. That's right -in fact it is the surname of the President of the African National Congress

The governing party in South Africa.

[Connonym]

19. well now I feel guilty for snarking

[applegrove]

21. I still think it is an odd name to name a baby.

[huskerlaw]

20. My theory...

He was conceived on a rock, near a nest of birds on Zuma beach in Malibu.

Worst. Name. Ever.

Well, ok, maybe not...but it's pretty awful.

[Runcible Spoon]

22. I read somewhere their kids' names were inspired by Jamaica and Bob Marley.

looks like Zuma is a beach they like, and the middle name is Bob Marley's middle name.

three cheers for purveying useless information!

Hey, snark all you like. I don't really get bent out of shape about names unless they are some unholy spelling of "Brittany/Britney/Britny/Britteney" etc.

[bbernardini]

23. Translation: PLEASE LOOK AT ME PLEASE LOOK AT ME SEE HOW DIFFERENT I AM

Seriously, Gwen, we get it. You're DIFFERENT. Please stop now and go away.

[Mudoria]

24. They should pass a law that states that it is

illegal for celebrities to name their children. Zuma? :wtf:
