Melanie Brown Baby Is Named Fortuna Daphne Bay
UPDATE, April 12. Or is she? People Magazine today is citing sources close to Melanie Brown, saying that reports of the baby name being Fortuna Daphne Bay are “total rubbish.” So what name does it give on the birth certificate, I wonder?
How’s that for a weird celebrity baby name?
EurWeb.com is reporting that Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown - already the mother of Phoenix Chi - has named her new daughter Fortuna Daphne Bay, or FDB, as she’s already been dubbed by the European press.
I’m not buying this one yet. Most of the major press has not reported it, and I have not heard personally from Mel B’s publicist. (If she’d like to contact me, see our contact info).
On a related note, no word yet if Eddie Murphy, who according to Melanie Brown is the father, has agreed to a DNA test. Murphy, who is currently dating film producer Tracey Edmonds, is not conceding the child is his. On the other hand, I haven’t seen any quotes from Murphy where he categorically said Fortuna Daphne Bay is not his baby.
UPDATE April 11: Mel B. puts it in writing — Eddie Murphy named as the father on Fortuna’s birth certificate.
