Pop sensation Anne-Marie has found herself at the centre of an unexpected naming controversy after revealing the peculiar inspiration behind her baby son's middle name.
The '2002' singer, who welcomed her first child earlier this year, recently shared the story behind her son's full name during an intimate chat with fans. While she's kept the first name private, the middle name's origin story has left social media users divided.
The Health Condition Connection
In a revelation that's sparked both confusion and criticism, Anne-Marie disclosed that her son's middle name was inspired by a medical condition she experienced during pregnancy.
'I named him after something that happened to me while I was pregnant,' the singer explained, though she stopped short of revealing the exact name or condition involved.
Social Media Backlash Erupts
The unusual naming choice has triggered a wave of reactions across social media platforms, with many users expressing bewilderment at the decision to commemorate a health issue in this way.
'This has to be one of the weirdest celebrity baby names yet,' commented one Twitter user, while another questioned: 'Why would you name your child after something that caused you distress?'
However, some fans have rushed to the singer's defence, arguing that the name holds personal significance and represents her journey through pregnancy and motherhood.
Not The First Celebrity Naming Controversy
Anne-Marie joins a growing list of celebrities who've faced public scrutiny over their children's unusual names. From Elon Musk and Grimes' baby X Æ A-12 to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's Chicago, unconventional celebrity baby names have become increasingly common - and controversial.
What sets Anne-Marie's situation apart is the direct connection to a health condition, making this naming decision particularly personal and meaningful to the singer.
As the debate continues online, one thing remains clear: when it comes to celebrity baby names, the public always has an opinion.
