When my mum back in 1975 decided to name her newborn
daughter after her father’s favourite female singer she could only see it as
the beautiful name it was.
Nina, a name meaning little girl in Hebrew, strong and
mighty in native American, mother in Swahili and beautiful eyes in Hindi.
It’s a lovely list of things for a name to mean and almost worth
all those years of being teased by people doing ambulance impressions at me not
to mention asking where my 99 red balloons are, for the sake of having a name that’s
a little bit different to everyone else’s.
I do wonder however after reading that given his popularity
in I’m a celebrity some parents are naming their kids not only after Joey Essex
but also some of his “vocabulary “ if little Reem and Creepysick are going to
thank them some 18 years down the line when they have to fill in their first
job application form .
