A WORRIED mother has revealed she's having doubts about her toddler's name after realising it has another meaning. The anonymous woman, who lives in a Spanish speaking country, explained how she named her 18-month-old daughter after her husband's mother, whose family are from West Africa. Taking to Reddit , she continued: "I love the sound and meaning of the name, and I find it beautiful that she shares the name with her grandma, who I admire greatly." Since her birth, I am facing two problems: first, 90% of the people mispronounce her name and say the equivalent to 'water' in Spanish." "Second, I fear that her being de facto called 'water' will be the subject of years of bullying. So many jokes at hand." The woman went onto explain that the family are moving to a small town and says she's seriously considering the possibility of changing her name and giving the issue a "fresh start."

Kanye West compares Kim to Marilyn in old clip amid Met Gala criticism
Kim Kardashian most definitely stole the show at the 2022 Met Gala on Sunday night when she showed up wearing the actual dress that Marilyn Monroe wore in 1962 to serenade President John F. Kennedy—and Kanye West has been comparing her to the icon for years. Though some argue she didn't quite stick to the night's dress code—Gilded Glamour—which saw many guests paying homage to the fashions of the 1800s, Kardashian left her mark on the event by wearing a piece of American history and a timeless symbol of celebrity. During the height of her fame, Monroe was famously one of the most photographed women in the world and the same can arguably be said about Kardashian who has become one of the most famous faces in the world and an emblematic figure of modern celebrity culture and public consumption. This is something that Kardashian's estranged husband Kanye West has long been aware of and he even compared the 41-year-old to Monroe back in 2013. During an appearance on The … [Read more...] about Kanye West compares Kim to Marilyn in old clip amid Met Gala criticism
Exam hall to tennis stardom: Emma Raducanu reflects on amazing year
It was a beaming Emma Raducanu who chatted to reporters after Friday night’s win over Tereza Martincova . Not only because of the dominance of the 7-6, 6-0 scoreline, but also because she had just received a heartwarming reminder of how far she has come in the last year. Earlier the same day, as she waited to be called on court, Raducanu had received a notification on her phone. Part of the “memories” feature, it reminded her that, on April 29, 2021, she had just been heading into an exam hall in Orpington for the final test of her summer. “I was just reflecting on that and I was like, ‘Oh my God, like 365 days ago, I was literally sat in an exam hall doing maths paper three,’ ” Raducanu said. “I would have taken everything that’s happened and dealt with any sort of downs or losses or whatever those feelings are, if you would have given me what I’ve had in the last year. That definitely gave me a lot of satisfaction and [the feeling of] being very proud of myself.

Chelsea told to “get rid” of Timo Werner and sign Romelu Lukaku’s favourite old team-mate
Chelsea should ditch Timo Werner and sign Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez this summer, according to Tony Cascarino. The Blues are to end the season trophyless following defeat on penalties by Liverpool in the FA Cup final on Saturday. The loss was their second against Jurgen Klopp ’s side on penalties in major finals this season after defeat in the Carabao Cup final back in February. The FA Cup final once again summed up Chelsea’s struggles in front of goal, with Romelu Lukaku, Christian Pulisic and Mason Mount unable to find a way past Alisson in the Liverpool goal over 120 minutes of action. Lukaku started ahead of Werner and Kai Havertz due to injury doubts and the trio, who between them cost Chelsea over £220million in the past few years, have lacked consistency in front of goal this season. Lukaku arrived in a club-record £97.5m move from Inter Milan at the start of the season but has endured a difficult campaign under Thomas Tuchel , scoring 15 goals in 42 … [Read more...] about Chelsea told to “get rid” of Timo Werner and sign Romelu Lukaku’s favourite old team-mate

Blackpool forward Jake Daniels has become the first pro footballer to come out as gay in 32 years. The 17-year-old, who signed his first professional deal with the Championship club in February, made his professional debut earlier this month. ‘Now is the right time to do it. I feel like I am ready to tell people my story. I want people to know the real me,’ Daniels told Sky Sports News. ‘I have been thinking for a long time about how I want to do it, when I want to do it. I know now is the time. I am ready to be myself, be free and be confident with it all. ‘I can’t really put a date on it, but I was probably five or six years old when I knew I was gay. So it’s been a long time that I have been living with the lie. ‘At that age you don’t really think that football and being gay doesn’t mix. You just think, one day, when I’m older I’ll get a girlfriend and I will change and it will be fine. ‘But as you get older you realise you can’t just change.
