In White Folks News: You’ll Never Guess What Nicole Richie Named her Son
Babies, Hollyweird, In White Folks News, News, out of pocket
Posted by Bossip Staff
Nicole Richie gave birth to her son yesterday in the wee hours of the morning and named him after a bird.
Nicole Richie and Joel Madden named their son Sparrow Midnight. Why would anyone name their son after a bird and awkward time of nightfall? We are now convinced that Nicole is out there on something. In fact, she may need an intervention right along with Maia. More importantly, with all the normal names out there, why do celebrities insist on trying to be “creative”?

@ Re, I used to feel the same way about pregger bellies, but after I had kids, it only got a little better. Even for a mother, preggger bellies still give me the ***** for some reason! I read where Bossip calls it “gut full-o human”, LOL
Re

@cruzan trini
Naw, someone didn’t “scar” me, and there’s nothing wrong with me for not liking exposed bellies. I like them better in full shirts, and those pretty maternity shirts. Maybe it’s cause the ladies in my culture are big on covering up

I dunno…just never liked the view, I guess.

They’re hired by PR firms to join every forum for Black voices in the ‘net; and *****ODY calls them out for it.
They give themselves away when EVERY COMMENT references the Obamas, regardless of the original topic of the post.

I’m guessing because her daughter is named Harlow, She picked Sparrow because of the “ow” at the end.
Like Brangelina – Maddox, Pax, Knox
Just a guess?
Truth
9/10/09, 10:20:am
Umm.. when did Sparrow’s become a big black bird?? And I think it is a beautiful name!.. and it even rhymes with Harlow, her daughter’s name. All these “American Traditional” names are just names of things and items in other languages. At least these celebrities are taking pride in the English language. Look up the name Peter which means Stone, David means Beloved, Mark means King, Samantha means listener, etc…. All Arabic names have meanings which are used in daily communication, and the meaning of the name is more important than it’s sound. American’s should grow up, because a sparrow is a beautiful, pleasant, worldly bird.

9/10/09, 10:23:am
@Truth
I think it’s a beautiful name also. And your right about the meaning of names. My name is Asha which means life or lively in Arabic (my whole name is Arabic as a matter of fact, lol), it’s also a name in Swahili and Indian.

I think Bossip needs to let that sucka Hannibal go.I remember him from awhile back when he was actually posting his real picture(I personally think the one he has up now does him more justice)Anyway, I guess ppl werent paying him much attention so he decides to cause drama for it. What a LAME!We all know you work for Bossip!!!!! Its funny and sad at the same time that you really think you have such an important job-hmmm searching, copy & pasting from other sites is SUCH hard work(thats dripping with sarcasim for your slow *****)

Using “White People” in your headline to mock a celebs odd name choice is like the pot calling the kettle black- at least Nicole didn’t name her kid TAYE, or ANDRE or some *****ized version of Shaneequa-Lakeitcha-Precious-Mo’nique that seem to pop up frequently in y’alls backyard.

I’m sure the name has a special meaning unlike all the stupid names I hear all around me everyday. Names without meaning young, ghetto women give to their children. I wish these women would get a book about baby names and what the names mean before just pulling some stupid sound out of midair and saddling their children with those ridiculous, ghetto names for life. I wish we would go back to the biblical names instead of the stupid stuff you hear today.

9/10/09, 11:05:am
Well to be honest, Bossip shouldn’t have emphasized her race when talking about baby names. I went to a 98% black school, and knew a girl named STARSHEKA and a MARSHONIQUE. So for race to be emphasized when talking about baby names is kind of a bad look for Bossip because we have been giving our babies some booty ***** names for some time now.

9/10/09, 11:08:am
It seems the more educated and middle to upper cl***** black parents are the more intelligent and meaningful the names. Poor black people chose the most illiterate, awful names I ever heard. They don’t put enough thought into the names they give their kids. This eesha, meesha, teesha crap needs to go.

By Hollywood I mean different not stupid. And that is Nicole’s and Joel’s environment. I believe that name has a special meaning to it, Sparrow being a little, bitty, brown bird and James is a cl*****ic name from the bible and has meaning to it. I think naming a baby Apple is stupid. Sparrow only sounds a bit feminine to me.

I don’t like the name but I don’t have to live with it so who cares. Why does she have to be on something because she was creative with her child’s name. I mean to compare her to Maia is out of line considering that the latter has a serious drug addiction and is mentally ill. That’s just irresponsible. I bet some of you at Bossip have funky names too!

9/10/09, 13:18:pm
Nicole is not half Hispanic and she consistently denies that she is and I believe her. She has no reason to lie why would she? She is not Hispanic in any way so get over it. As for the connection to the Escovedo’s, she denies that all the time. Sheila E and her brother Pete and the other siblings have a black mother and a Mexican father so that makes them biracial. I have never seen a phot of Nicole’s mother so I don’t know what she is but I do know it isn’t Hispanic otherwise she would say so. No one asked Lionel to adopt Nicole, he stated on oprah that he adopted her on his own volition because she was not being taken care of and that is the truth.

Sheila E is biracial, the family is well known in the Oakland area. Harlow looks like her light-skinned, Black grandmother Juanita Gardere. Juanita is a cousin of famous African American Psychologist Jeff Gardere. Nicole can claim /disclaim whomever she wants since she knows the truth of her birth.

There are also rumors that Lionel, who was married at the time, paid a member of his band to claim paternity of Nicole so that Brenda Richie would not find out. Lionel paid Nicole’s birth mother millions I heard. We will only know what really went down when Nicole tells it, not that it is the public’s business, but something is fishy about the entire affair.

Ok first off Nicole is not white whatsoever.She is half black and half hispanic.She repeatedly states that in her biography.
2ND of all bossip you are whack to even post this story under “white folks news”
So what if she didn’t name her baby some ghetto ***** black name.She wanted each of her children to be unique.Her daughter Harlow is adorable and I am sure her new baby son is too.
Get some lives instead of arguing what race she is.Most of you are just mad that you didn’t look like she did pregnant or mad that your girl didnt.

First of all you say in white folks news, when clearly Nicole Ritchie is bi-racial. Second of all, the name is no worse than the hood made up names that chicks give their children on a daily basis. At least you can *****ounce it correctly from the spelling.

There was a famous WHITE heiress (daughter of an ex-governor) who lived in Houston named ‘IMA HOGG’ (not kidding — google it).
It depends on what CLOUT comes with the name, I guess.

Sparrow has a nice ring to it. You know they put some thought into it.
Black kids with absent fathers tend to have the most ghetto names it seems like. No father is going to stand by and let his wife/girlfriend name their son some ghetto crap.
AWWWWWWWWWWWWSHADDAAAAAP!!!!

Bossip is run by white people! Only white people
would think that Nicole is a white girl. Nicole’s biological mother is black and her father is Hispanic. Bossip you are starting to become very
obvious about who is working on this site–white people.

Check Nicole’s DUI arrest sheet and it CLEARLY says her race is black. She also said stated was black on the Simple Life. I’m sure Nicole knows her race better than any of you idiots so she say she black than she’s black. Suck on it *****es!

Everyone knows Nicole is biracial, black and white and nothing else. And the man who is supposed to be her birth father (Pete Escovedo)is half black/Mexican. Nicole adamantly states that he isn’t so that’s the answer from the horses mouth. One thin for sure, she ain’t no Puerto Rican.

Yes, that will look real good on the resume later. Not to mention having to fight hard on the playground.

When did Nicole Richie become white? She identifies herself as an African American (multiracial). As for the disrespectful responses/pics from certain this message board, a recent lawsuit filed against a blogger ultimately revealed her identity to the public. They may reap what they sow. smh

nicole richie A.K.A. (Nicole Camille Escovedo) is not white, she is black latina…her mother is rumored to be afro domincan and her father peter escovedo is mixed of mexican, african american, and creole heritage. She does not tell the names of her parents for confidentiality reasons, although it’s known that her father is Sheila E’s brother. She has stated on more than on occasion that she identifies with her african american heritage; so it is what it is. Plus people act as though blacks and latin people don’t come in many shades from skin, hair and eyes. SMH.

She is not a black Latina. A black Latina is someone who is raised in that heritage regardless of color and Nicole’s culture is strictly African American. Plus her mother is white and not Dominican. Besides, Nicole strictly rejects any *****ociation with that so-called, biological father Pete. She ain’t latin she is African-American mixed period.

Just because there is a confidential agreement don’t mean you still have to deny a certain group from your family tree and Nicole denies Escovedo all the time. Lionel might have paid Pete who is black Mexican to put his name on the birth certificate; rich men will do anything to keep secrets from their wives. Nicole and Lionel’s younger daughter looks too much alike for my mind, to not be related. Both have white mothers and light-skinned black daddies that’s for sure. Nicole knows who she is and doesn’t have to lie about it. But she is not Latina I know that much.

@ Aaron (regarding ghetto names), I hear you! I really do! It is embarrasing sometimes to hear the names people give their children, or who have grown up with these *****ed up, made up names! Names are important, and I’d rather hear of someone named Sparrow than a made up meaningless jumble of silly sounds, spelled in some random ridiculous fashion like, Jah’Qua’bahlay’kah, LOL
