@superwoman: Ugh, I had no idea her name was translated! I think Chifundo sounds really lovely, and it's not cool that Madonna has changed her name at her age (babies is one thing, but she's old enough to know her name).

@formergr, dreamweave & confusedforahotsecond: it bothers me so much. in truth, i don't know if madonna herself calls her mercy or chifundo - but i hate that her real name's been buried this way in the press.and i mean, honestly she's 3, she KNOWS her name, y'know?... i cannot imagine how weird it'd be if all the westeners i grew up with decided to call me 'sunrays' out of convenience, because that's what my name means.....

I'd like to believe that deep down, everybody hates the Yankees as much as I do.

GAH WHERE THE HELL DID THAT STAR COME FROM?

@AmericanSplendor: I do! I'm sure I do! (Go Red Sox!) -- Madonna would be wise to at least raise a Mets fan in NY.

@sportz.star:

If David (that's the little boy's name, right?) stays a Yankees fan, then they'll have EPIC sibling rivalry via sports. My Aunt and my dad have that with the twins/brewers (respectively). It is so. much. fun. Makes the games very exciting.

Madonna's nanny looks like she'd whip your ass in kick-boxing. No Mary Poppins, this one.

I wish there was a law making it illegal to photograph young children for commercial gain, except with the express permission of the parents. It would be daunting for an adult to suddenly be faced woith a mass of cameras for the firt time, let alone a small child.

Serious question: What's Mercy's last name?

Madonna only uses a first name, since David was (I think) adopted by Madge AND Guy Richie, I assume his last name is Richie. So what's Mercy's?

@Zombie MissSkittles is not your kind of lady: Madonna only uses her first name for professional purposes but will (presumably)use a surname in private. So Mercy, who was NOT adopted by Guy, will simply take Madonna's surname. It could be, though, that the children could retain their own family surnames, as in both cases they each have one surviving parent.

@Zombie MissSkittles is not your kind of lady: Ciccone, one would presume. Unless she marries her Brazilian, in which case it might become, Jesus-Ciccone.

Madge, you used to be a trend setter. This outfit is all kinds of awful. And I don't care if you are gym/playground bound.

Misha Barton wouldn't wear this much crappy tack.

@DinaRonson : Elizabeth Cady Stanton: Actuslly, she is church bound.

It also doesn't do much for anonimity. She's instantly ecognizable because of this crap.

I'm looking at Lola for style tips these days.

Call it what it is - she bought that little girl.

Didn't Angie have to wait like a year before she adopted Pax? It wasn't at all like Madonna's 'adoption'.

@apocalypse-nowish: yes. We are ignoring her really flagrant disregard for the entirely rational laws of Malawi, the country she proports to champion. She could have adopted Mercy legally if she agreed to live in country for a period of time (I forget what, 18 months or 3 years -- substantial). Now it would have been very complicated for her to move her family to Malawi for that time, but with her money, she could have done it. It would have been really interesting and I think would probably have informed her works of charity there as well. I would even be ok with using it as a PR thing, if it was sensitively done. This of course is not possible for almost any other family wishing to adopt Malwian kids, but those are the laws of Malawi which were enacted to protect children from international trafficking, a very real occurrence. Madonna was desperate to adopt Mercy; she spared no expense and devoted herself to it for years. If she was willing to spend that time and money, why not spend it following the law and in the process creating a more transnational life for her transnational family? I know it's wishful thinking, but sometimes getting your way all the time can inhibit creativity.
