Erykah Badu has baby girl
NEW YORK (AP) — Grammy-winning singer Erykah Badu gave birth to a daughter, Puma, earlier this month at her home in Dallas, with friends and family present, People magazine reported Thursday.

The baby was born on July 5, Badu's publicist confirmed to the magazine. Badu, 33, has declined to name the father. "She is a big baby," Badu's representative was quoted as saying.

Puma joins brother, Seven, 6, whose father is Andre Benjamin (Andre 3000 of the hip-hop group OutKast).

Badu's publicist told People that Puma isn't named for the athletic shoe: "Erykah is more down to earth than that. It's more likely that the name has meaning, that it's something natural."

The singer's latest album, Worldwide Underground, was released in 2003.


Still sounds like a sneaker to me! heheh

Ever think teh sneaker was named after a cartoon?

 

[MosMom]

Probably the feral cat but still... I'm not sure if I would rather be named after a feral cat or a sneaker.

Isn't a Puma a type of mountain lion, too?

 

[honeywolf7]

Yes, it's a big cat related to a mountain lion.

What's wrong with naming your kids after shoes? My kids, Nike and Walmart Brand, don't seem to mind.

Editor's Note - Ok, I have to admit the above post does have an inaccuracy. I never shop at Walmart.

You are right though Winka - Puma Badu does have a decent ring to it.

George Costanza (Seinfeld) would be proud of the name "Seven." LOL
