It’s a stupid name, say experts
`The Beckhams’ decision to call their baby Cruz has been branded ‘stupid’ by language experts. Cruz, which means ‘cross’ in Spanish, is an old-fashioned girls’ Christian name, they say.
It is also is commonly used as a surname, ‡ la the actress Penelope. ‘They’ll have problems in Spain because it will be seen as a name for girls,’ said Lola Oria, a Spanish language tutor at Oxford University.
‘It’s a strange thing to do to a little boy.”
