@cinematheques: Why wouldn't he want a name that he can pronounce? That doesn't sound dickish to me. What does, however, is that his wife just had a baby and they haven't had "more than just two-three hours" together since then.
@bluebears: Yeah, seriously. A traditional name? Whose fucking tradition? And where is he? It seems really weird that a father would be anywhere but with his wife and newborn child at this point.
@apricotta: Yeah, and we have no clue what he means by "traditional." He might just be turned off by the celebrity baby name craze and want something, you know, normal.
God forbid he want a common name that he can pronounce! The injustice!
@msridiculous447: well his girlfriend is Argentinian so...pretty sure he was referring to that. I mean "Apple" is a ridiculous name but not exactly hard to pronounce.
@cinematheques: There are some Portuguese names, like Daniel, that could work in both languages, and others, like João, that just don't, so I could see wanting a name that could be made to work in either.
@cinematheques: Guys, guys, guys: to be fair to poor ol' Tom, at the other end of the link he specifies that he would be fine with the baby getting a Brazilian name, so long as he can pronounce it.
Anything's gotta be better than, what, Baby It? Precious Darling Boy-Child? Male Offspring?
@Jenna: And according to her family, their previous choice was Gabriel, which works in either language. I think by "traditional" he means he doesn't want his kid named Watermelon or Yonkers or whatever the trend is these days.
@fulanita: Right, plus not all Brazilian names are traditional. There are the weird hybrid names (Wilker, Gilmer) or the "American names" (Washington, Lincoln, Wellington), or the famous Greek names (Aristotle, Sophocles) that are popular(ish) in Brazil and I can totally see being opposed to.
@dialing_footnoterphone: @lizbang: Yes, it must be the eyebrows. Maybe she used to wear them with less of an arch and a little lighter in color? Off to look at old Madonna photos...
@slowpoke.r: There is more than a slight resemblance. (full disclosure: I flopped the picture of Kate Winslet l-to-r so her bangs fell the same way as the pic of Madonna)
dear daisy lowe, that's what i used to say all the time. in college. now i'm 27. the future is here. i didn't realize that the wrinkles would come in when i still wanted to be pretty-- where is the calm wisdom of old age helping me accept this change in hot status?
Has anyone bought anything by Madewell? Thoughts? I am interested in the introduction of web shopping possibilities, mostly because I am far too lazy to brave traffic to get to the nearest one in Tyson's Corner, Va. Anyone familiar with the area may understand.
If that's the reason Esteban Cortazar is leaving Ungaro, then GOOD. At least he's leaving with his integrity intact. She hasn't had much success of anything lately and I doubt she'd bring much to the Ungaro label.
You'd think with all the revolutionary bra designs Victoria's Secret steal they'd be able to make something that doesn't fall apart after four wearings.
"A Pennsylvania woman who patented her design for a bra that would provide uplift and a smooth silhouette, and then sought out Victoria's Secret as a potential manufacturing partner, says that the company instead consulted with her long enough to steal the idea. She is suing."
Don't all their bras aim to do that already? I'd like to know how it's original.
@greengrey: For reals. This is the description of the ad in the article: Upon closer look, you might notice the patent leather green platforms on her feet, the lacy see-through underpants, the hand resting suggestively below her pierced naval, her breast spilling out from underneath an open book covering her chest, the necklaces wound around her neck.
Way to try to make it sound racier than it is, folks.

Re: Elin and Puma. Is she an athlete or something. Why would she get an endorsement?

I don't know, I just assumed he meant that he wanted a normal, non-celebrity name, and threw in "pronounceable" as a joke.
As in, "I don't care what we name the baby, so long as it isn't "Moses" or "Apple" and I can pronounce it."
I have no idea why I'm defending him...lol. As a lifelong Buffalo fan, he's a sworn enemy of my people.
