Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown Names Her Baby After Eddie Murphy
“Murphy Because He’s The Dad, And Brown Because I’m The Mum!”
That’s how former Spice Girl Melanie Brown describes how she came up with the second half of her daughter’s name, in a story reported in People a few hours ago.
Since the birth of her daughter on April 3, Brown has steadfastly maintained that Eddie Murphy, who turned 46 on the same day, and who is now dating film producer Tracey Edmonds, is the father of her baby girl. Murphy has just as steadfastly refused to accept that fact, demanding a paternity test.
 It was revealed today that the baby’s name is Angel Iris Murphy Brown. The former Spice Girl, speaking through her London reps, said she chose “Angel” because the baby was her little angel, and she chose Iris to honor her grandmother. And we know why she chose “Murphy!”
Next move, it seems, may be up to Eddie Murphy. It has been reported that little Angel has already been swabbed for DNA. No word yet if Murphy has done so.
In a poll we conducted here over the past couple of weeks, 80 percent of respondents believe that Murphy is the father.
