Thus spake Geri Halliwell, better known as Ginger Spice, at the birth of her daughter. *SIGH* :rolleyes:

And though the article doesn't say so, I'm assuming she delivered by C-section. Either that or she really needs someone to explain to her that babies don't come out of tummies. :eek: ;) South, Geri, think more south.


Geri Halliwell names baby Bluebell Madonna

Former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell has named her baby Bluebell Madonna.

The singer also known as Ginger Spice, 33, told Hello! magazine she'd been inspired by seeing the spring flowers during her pregnancy.

"But what really clinched it for me was my mother telling me that the bluebell is increasingly rare - so it's precious flower, which seems just right for my daughter," Halliwell was quoted as saying.

Halliwell said she had chosen the middle name in honor of one of her heroines.

"As she came out of my tummy, Bluebell had both arms flung wide in the air as if announcing to the world, `Hi! I'm here!'" the magazine quoted Halliwell as saying.

"She was screaming her head off, as though she was shouting, `Hello, Wembley!' No one else has that name, apart from the Virgin Madonna and the singer, whom I love."

The baby was born May 14 at London's Portland Hospital weighing 5 lbs 12 ounces.

In the Hello! interview, Halliwell made no mention of the baby's father. He is reportedly Hollywood scriptwriter Sacha Gervasi, 40.

I just saw that ... I like her train of thought, but definitely not what I would have picked, but then I tend to be a little more traditional. ;) I thought the tummy thing was funny too ... well, as long as baby and Mom are doing fine, I guess that's all that matters...

Not to be a big defender of Geri Halliwell, but what else was she going to say? "As she came out of my v@gina"? I'm not sure the audience for Hello! magazine requires that level of anatomic accuracy. . .

I wasn't really thinking she should be that frank. :eek: I figured that "as she came out" or "as she was born" would be enough.

Eh. It gave me a giggle on a slow day.

I glanced at this and for a second thought it said "Blue ball".

I hope that's not her nickname when she gets older :eek:
