Only celebrities with insane egos could name their kid something as hideous as “Zuma” with complete seriousness. It sounds like a drink I would buy at the ghetto Family Dollar down the street.

People get oddly possessive over their choices in baby names. We had a family member who wouldn’t reveal the baby’s name beforehand for fear that someone would steal it. Weirdo!

What’s your name?? My name is normal where I’m from but prone to lots of mispronunciations overseas, which is where I spent the majority of my life. Frustrating at first, now I’ve learned to love it.

I too am fascinated for the same reason, and when I turned 18 I changed my name. It felt great.

Vale – It’s an Indian name, and I grew up in a very homogenized, white community with lots of Jennys & Jessicas. I just wanted to fit in when I was little, but now I love my name!

How does one “steal” a name? Even if her bandmate had used the name and she did as well, how is that “stealing?” Is there some sort of law I haven’t heard about that 2 people cannot have the same first name? How odd. I mean, we’re talking about people who aren’t even related to each other.
In my family, for some reason, Katharine/Kathy is very popular. I have one niece and two cousins that share this name. And you know what? No one died from it!

Kingston looks just like Gavin. However, Zuma doesn’t look much like Gavin or Gwen. Odd how genetics work out. I guess he probably resembles an uncle or grandparent in their family.

When I saw the headline, I thought of that SATC episode! Although choosing a name that your friend didn’t is hardly stealing it, regardless of how one feels about “stealing” names.

Its nice to see a celebrity doing something with their own children without a nanny.
I would have just said I stole the name Zuma from the game lol

I love Kingston’s name and am a Gwen fan but Zuma is just ugh. Seriously. I wouldn’t name my kid like Riverside or Peoria or Bondi (after Bondi Beach in Oz.)

Where I live it’s the done thing to not reveal the chosen name until the baby’s named. Some people share the names they are considering, but I would find it really weird to hear a name before the baby was there.

So sad that a grown woman would put a name tag on her child like Zuma or Apple..these people dont care if the kids get teased by other kids they only care that they get attention from the media for naming their kids freaky names.,

Zuma: Puma, Dooma, Pooma, Sooma, Schlooma

The important thing is you love the name!

I’ve actually known two women named Apple. That name actually seems pretty normal to me now.
And also, the name Zuma still isn’t as wretched as Bronx Mowgli.

I really wanted my daughter to be named Everly but when she came out she didn’t look like an Everly. She looked like her name which is a very popular one right now.
I really hate baby name thiefs although this one was up for grabs. I love the name Kingston but I really dislike the name Zuma. But it is HER baby.
I actually had a woman who couldn’t have any more children give me her baby name: Paige Alexandria. Pretty name but not my taste.

Kaiser-I was one of those little Jessica’s running around-I would have traded for a more unique name in a heart beat. There were 3 of us in my first grade class alone!
