Turn back the clock, if you will, a mere week. Stop at the day the lovely Nicole Kidman became a mother. She celebrated by naming her daughter Sunday Rose. Why? Because the child was born on a Sunday, possibly. Thank god it wasn't a Thursday. Would a rose by any other name smell as sweet?
Then there was Halle Berry's Nahla Ariela Aubry. Magazines editors everywhere went 'Huh?' What did Nahla mean? Did Ariela come from Greek mythology? Aubry, luckily, came from the name of Berry's partner. Why didn't she go the whole hog anyway? Why not Nahla Ariela Berry Aubry? She hasn't condescended to explain yet.
