Shakira reveals her baby's name!



Celebs certainly are interesting when it comes to revealing info on their pregnancies, births and babies. Some, like Adele, keep the details tightly under wraps. Megan Fox didn’t even announce her son’s birth until nearly a month after he was born, and Uma Thurman waited several months before letting the public know her daughter’s (loooooooong) name.

Then there are those who are more than happy to share. Shakira trumpeted the news on her website that she and boyfriend Gerard Pique are expecting their first child together.

A couple of weeks ago, the pop idol and Voice judge further let slip that they’re going to have a boy: Looking at pictures of an interviewer’s son, she said, “He’s going to be able to play with mine.”

And now she’s spilling the beans on the name they’ve chosen!



It’s…

Biel!

The Puerto Rican newspaper El Nuevo Dia (as reported by The Huffington Post and elsewhere) reports that soccer star Gerard was the one who suggested the name.

And no, it has nothing to do with a certain actress/bride-to-be named Jessica. The name, of Catalan origin, is a nickname for Gabriel, which means “God is my strength.”

So what’s your take? Is Biel a cute name, strong, trendy or just meh?

i'm learning catalan at the moment, and they have a really confusing way of telling the time
ferniinberlin 19th-Oct-2012 06:22 pm (UTC)
5 years living here and i still cant tell time. Neither can catalan speakers most of the time, i must say lol
mmbien 19th-Oct-2012 06:25 pm (UTC)
it's a tough one. i thought i'd be able to get by with the spanish i know, but that has not really been the case lol. it just sounds so different, but after nearly a month i'm getting used to it.
sometimes_mbv 19th-Oct-2012 06:24 pm (UTC)
i have to think like for 2 minutes to guess what time is it when they tell the time, no joke.
candyshowers 19th-Oct-2012 07:03 pm (UTC)
I just googled it and ...wow, good luck.
kalie_m 19th-Oct-2012 08:47 pm (UTC)
How do you tell time in Catalan?
x_myheart_ 19th-Oct-2012 08:59 pm (UTC)
jealous! i want to learn Catalan and every time i mention that people are like "huh?" -.-
aggiechan 19th-Oct-2012 09:58 pm (UTC)
My boyfriend's from Barcelona so I'm slowly learning Catalan right now... haven't gotten to telling time yet and now you've scared me. :P

biel sounds nothing like bill in either catalan or spanish or any romance languages that i know.

wonderwomanhero 19th-Oct-2012 06:15 pm (UTC)
It's more the way they say his name on True Blood. They say it like BEEL instead of Bill
inboots 19th-Oct-2012 06:17 pm (UTC)
it sounds nothing like beel in spanish/catalan, either.
sometimes_mbv 19th-Oct-2012 06:22 pm (UTC)
not at all.
night_sky99 20th-Oct-2012 12:04 am (UTC)
That's why I have never been able to watch True Blood: my aunt calls her cat BEEL instead of Bill. And that's all I can ever think of.
toxic_glory 19th-Oct-2012 06:16 pm (UTC)
if you use a southern drawl to pronounce Bill then it sounds more like 'bi-ill", and depending on what type of southern accent you're using, it could sound more like "bee-ill", which does sound a bit similar to how you'd pronounce Biel
hypermuseic9 19th-Oct-2012 06:26 pm (UTC)
mte took me a while to get it
night_sky99 20th-Oct-2012 12:05 am (UTC)
How is it pronounced? I keep reading it as bile or something.
britt_m_89 19th-Oct-2012 06:14 pm (UTC)
So are they naming the baby Gabriel but he's just going to go by Biel? I love the name Gabriel.
brghtlghts 19th-Oct-2012 06:27 pm (UTC)
that would be a much better option imo
_dennis_csi_ 19th-Oct-2012 06:20 pm (UTC)
