'I want to give my daughter a cute name but everyone says it's stupid'
A mum-to-be has taken to social media to seek opinions on the moniker she wants to give to her daughter before going ahead with the idea - but users were quick to put her off it A woman has sparked a debate about appropriate baby names after revealing how she wants to give her daughter an 'adorable' name. Seeking advice online before making the decision, she simply asked Reddit users: "Should I name my daughter Cutie?" In response, users were quick to point out the issues this baby name could cause her daughter throughout her life - with some discussing the impact it could have on her school years, future career, and even her social standing. One user bluntly said: "If you want your daughter to be harassed and teased all through school, then do it. If you want her name to be used by other kids in a derogatory manner, go for it. "If you want her to despise you later on for a name that made her life a living hell, then have at it. Don't be surprised if she dislikes you for it later. "I have seen the hell some kids have gone through just because of their name in middle and high school Completely relentless harassment that school leaders did nothing to try stop. "Seriously think about what is best for her and not what you think would be a cute name, for a baby only." Seconding this, another told the mum-to-be: "My birth name was similarly on-the-nose, meaning 'cute' or 'beautiful'. "Sounds great in theory but was super easy for kids to say I was too ugly for it starting in first grade. "They are right that your kid will get teased. My suggestion? Maybe Clementine, as a nod to Cutie (like Cuties- the brand of clementines)." A third person said: "Imagine trying to start a career, or even having police officers not believe that's your name, or people thinking you're trying to flirt with you because they asked you what your name was and you say cutie…" While one more added: "We gave our son one 'unique' name and one traditional name. We figure if he hates or it's a real pain explaining it all the time etc. "The unique name he can go with the traditional. I guess my advice is that Cutie is okay but you might want to give her another name to fall back on if she ends up not liking it or grows out of it." Someone else chimed in: "Cutie is not even a good nickname. It's a term of endearment. You may as well name your kid sweetie or dear." While final user said: "My last name is Rookey. You can see the jokes coming from 1000s of miles away. I personally believe you should not but, that's your daughter and you should do as you see fit."

Sparkle Campus Cutie grand winner Mad Ramos hopes to represent Muslim community
Mad Ramos of the University of Santo Tomas, the grand winner of Sparkle GMA Artist Center's first-ever Campus Cutie Search, isn't just all good looks and talent. He is also a proud Muslim. In Nelson Canlas' report in "24 Oras" Monday, the Spiker Prince of the South shared that he wants to represent the Muslim community. "Gusto kong i-represent 'yung Muslim community na kayang-kaya natin makisabay sa ganitong larangan, sa ganitong industry," shared the 19-year-old. According to Mad, only a few members of the Muslim community enter showbiz, which is one of the reasons that compelled him to "step up." "Ako na 'yung nag-step up para i-represent ang Muslim community and sana maging proud kayo sa 'kin." Mad also said that he was shy throughout the Campus Cutie competition, especially during the workshops and challenges. "Sa dulo lang ako nakabawi, so hindi ko talaga in-expect and Alhamdulillah for this opportunity," he added. Mad bested 19 fellow charming and handsome male students in Sparkle Campus Cutie's finale as he emerged as the Ultimate Campus Cutie on Saturday. His victory was made sweeter with the presence of his family, who came all the way from Mindanao. The judges of the search's final competition included GMA Network Senior Vice President Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes and Sparkle First Vice President Joy Marcelo. According to Gozon-Valdes, Mad shone during the competition's finale, especially in the question-and-answer portion. "I can see his confidence, malakas 'yung personality niya, malakas 'yung drive niya for excellence, so I think he'll be a very good addition to Sparkle," said Gozon-Valdes. Mad will receive a management contract with Sparkle and will be primed to become the next Kapuso leading man. —CDC, GMA Integrated News
