I must admit when I first heard the name I thought they’d had a girl because to me Nesta is a girls name – I went to school with a Nesta who was Welsh.
Zuma is not a name I’d choose for my own child but then I’m sure there are plenty of people who think my children’s name (Alexandra and Harriet) are wierd so who am I to comment?

I love the names! Even though they may be “out there” for some, I’ve always had the love of unique names. Lucky for my husband and I, my cultural heritage and our family names gave our daughter Mikayla Rhian and our son Keiron Michael. Both are a nod to my Welsh background and both have strong family ties. We got the best of both worlds!

I think Zuma is a nice name. Plus, it’s easy for Kingston to say!
My husband has a long last name. We decided one short name and no middle name for our kids. We started with “Eric”. Beautiful, simple, short. He ended up with my initials, therefore, when we got pregnant a second time, we decided to chose a short name with an “A” so he/she could have my husband’s initials. “Alec” is now 5 months old and our hispanic families are finally coming around to appreciating the beauty in his name. I just hope both my boys love their name just as much as my husband and I do.

Ilike it…as a whole name its long winded,however Zuma Rossdale rolls off the tongue better than u’d think!Gavin said in an interview he felt coz Kingston has such a ‘different’ name,they felt they were expected to follow suit with no.2. With parents as cool as G+G,and K as big bro,Zuma wont b bullied,his name makes him sound like a leader+wont be one to sit in the corner,if K is anything to go by.

…was wondering if the name ‘Rock’ is a reference to Bob Rock,who produced Gav’s solo album?
Congrats!! X

I am still hoping that we are being punked. What a horrible name, meaning or not.

My daughter’s name is Corah. I loved “Last of the Mohicans” with Daniel Day Lewis/Madaline Stowe in it. Cora is how it is commonly spelled, but it didn’t look finished to me..like Sara. So I added an “h.”

Zuma is def different. I thought I chose for my son. I thought “what would look good on a resume?” Then I chose something classic and fairly normal. Graeme. He gets made fun of anyway. So what’s it matter?

lol My last comment didnt make it to the board I see. Anyways, I am more disturbed that people are taking this personally than the name Zuma! lol Come on guys..if you are a celeb. and release baby photos, names, etc. be prepared to hear mixed comments….it isnt a big thing if everyone doesnt like the name. I am sure some of you got comments from people when you told them the baby names you chose for your children, and those comments prob. came from names you chose that were less flashy than “zuma.”

I love this name. It is just what I would expect from Gwen. She’s lovely, and definitely a free spirit. Say it over and over…Zuma Rossdale, Zuma Rossdale…a very nice ring. congratulations!
