Don’t know if the case is the same in US as in UK but don’t you have to have the babys name for the birth certifcate?!
If, as reported, she has put Eddie’s name on the certificate surely that means she has named her daughter? They found Suri Cruises and Grier Hammonds!!

Congradulations! Hey I have a name for Melani’s baby. Are you ready everyone? Since that baby’s father is reportedly Eddie’s – she should name her… EDINA. Kinda has a cute ring to it, huh?

It was reported last friday (I don’t remember the site) that the baby’s name is NOT Fortuna Daphne Bay.

When they initially posted the birth, in the middle of the night, yes, People.com did have up that it was a boy. They changed it very quickly though. They did the same thing with Liv Tyler a few years ago too – People.com said she had a girl, then they changed it to a boy when they got a better source!

And the name not being Fortuna Daphne Bay is why the post has been updated and bumped up.

I thought the light-skinned comment was weird too. Aren’t most black babies light-skinned at birth? Also, it’s just a weird thing to mention–one wouldn’t normally comment on the shade of an Asian/White/Latina baby’s skin.

I’m having issues about the whole “light-skinned” comment. When black babies are born, most of them are all light and get darker as their skin is exposed to the sun. So, she may get darker as she gets older. That may also put a spin on some of the animosity on Eddie’s part.

Welcome 2 the world..Baby Brown..I refuse to except the name Fortuna..Ugh..but i was surprised at Phoenix..so i guess noone ever knows what’s going to pop into Mel’s head. One more Spice baby to go (Emma’s)Untill they get back together..wooo hoo. Yep and I wonder was any spice girls present for the birth..like maybe Geri???

Fortuna Daphane bay, don’t like that name at all, but than again her 1st daughter’s name isn’t cute either. Oh well to each is own, can’t wait to find out if Eddie is the daddy, I think he is.

I love the name Fortuna – its unique and rooted in roman mythology and probably has some meaning for Mel. Congrats to her!

Poor little thing,thats so UN…fortuna…TE!

ps.if this is the correct name, her middle name should be cookie. if ur gonna have an unusual name, may as well go all out!
