Micheal Holding took his pregnant wife on tour and announced that if his daughter was born while he was on tour he would name her after the city in which she was born
It turns out she was born in Sydney, lucky it wasn’t Lahore!!!!

Like David Beckham’s son, was she named after the place where she was concieved? 😀

Brooklyn (spelling?) I think….

Incidentally, the odds are quite high for him to call his next son after the town their UK-based house (mansion) is in, Sawbridgeworth. This happens to be 3 miles up the road, and is where I go to school 😀

Can’t imagine ‘Sawbridgeworth’ being a very good name for a child though :rolleyes:

Girl in our school from London, who incidentally was a complete bi*ch and failed her GCSEs (suppose you could say she went under lol) was called Sabena.

Like David Beckham’s son, was she named after the place where she was concieved? 😀

Still, better ‘Sabena’ than ‘B737-229Adv’ for a name I guess…
